Question

Discuss how the advent of the digital revolution, its components, has changed over time from the beginning of the digital revolution- to how we use digital technology today. Explain where you see technology going in the future and how responsible stewardship can or cannot impact the future of the internet.

Answer 1

Ans 1.
digital revolution can be well explained with the help of history of computer.
first Generation Vacuum Tube Technology
second Generation Transistor Technology
Third Generation Integrated circuit(IC)
forth Generation Microprocessor
fifth Generation artificial Intelligence(making computer intelligent by introducing the decision making capability, computer can learn new things on the basis of previous experience, like humans.)

size of computer is being reduced and capabilities are being increased.
from third generation, ICs were introduced.
forth Generation- VLSI(Very Large Scale Integration)
after this, Ultra Large Scale Integration was introduces
Ultra large-scale integration (ULSI) is the process of integrating millions of transistors on a single chip.
in this way the size of computers is being reduced.

digital technology today
a)Now a days one can put digital technology in pocket(smart mobile phones)
b)IoT(Internet of Things) has become the important part of life.
for example one can switch on/off air conditioner(A.C) using mobile phone and so on.
Lighting of room can be controlled by IoT.
c)Now a days Data Science/Analysis is being used to establish new mile stones.

Ans 2
Technology in the future

Artificial Intelligence
Crypto currency
Virtual Reality
Smart Speaker
Automation
Machine Learning

All of the above technologies are not so common.
but the day is not too far away when they will become very common.

Apart from all above mentioned there is one more.

Combination of machine learning/deep learning and M2M(machine to machine) communication.
think about machines which can take decisions and communicate,definitely it is a great revolution.

Ans 3
responsible stewardship can impact the future of the internet.
There is growing demand of internet across the world because of it's productive use.
but internet can also be used for malicious purposes.
so the responsible stewardship should also focus on ethics.
the main responsibility is to educate the people about ethical use of technology/internet.
if misuse of internet creates great problems(intolerable),then responsible stewardship can take stern decisions
about the usage of internet.
