Potential technology developments that will impact; Society, Culture and the Economy.

TASK 2 (D1)
A Potential technology development that will impact; Society, Culture and the Economy.
HCI will continue to impact all around the world constantlyinto the future. With the world changing and people wanting to make their lives easier. The latest develpment is using brain waves to create an effect, and Neurowear, they have created a headset with cat ears that detect brainwaves move the ears depending on your mood. This technolgy has alot of potential to be developed to use neurological energy, to say turn your washing machine on, or write a text.

Their are many technological advances that can come into being thanks to the tchnology of the Neuroware Neko Ears. Imagine we are all driving our cars and a child runs out into the road, infront of you. It then will take say 2 or 3 seconds for your eyes to tell you theirs a child in front of you, then another, say, 2 seconds for your brain to tell your foot to press jam on your brakes (overall about 7 seconds to stop), then another second to actually jam the breaks, now potentially it being to late and childs been hit. Now imagine if you had the same senario, but you had a headset, that took your brainwaves and when it senses your brain saying theres a child in the road, it can relay a message straight to the brakes of the car in; for example 2 seconds, so by the time your foot reaches the break pedal the car is hopefully stopped and the child is safe. Not only could this potentially save many lives due to road accidents it could also become law, to wear one in your car.

In conclusion neuro technlgy will be researched in great depths, purely so it can be implemented in everyday life, a large proportion of the world constantly want the easiest possible way to do something, and being able to just think something and it happening will have people buying,  using and including it in their everyday life.
