The Rapid Pace of Technological Change in Our Lives
Summary
Technology is advancing faster than ever, driving significant leaps in information technology and sparking a paradigm shift.Keywords
modern technology, information technology, paradigm shift---
The speed of change in our world is accelerating rapidly. Today, paradigm shifts are happening at an unprecedented pace, making current technology quickly obsolete. Particularly, in information technology, progress is doubling in less than a year.
Information technology goes beyond just computers and electronics. Researchers are making significant advancements in healthcare, medicine, and drug discovery. They are gaining a deeper understanding of how drugs work and why they work.
A major area of progress is the human genome, which is the blueprint of our genetic code. With the completion of the genome project three years ago, we can now advance much faster. The volume of genetic data we can decode is doubling every ten months, and the cost of decoding a base pair has plummeted to less than a penny, compared to $10 in 1990.
Previously, it took fifteen years to sequence the HIV virus. In contrast, the SARS virus was sequenced in just a month, and today, sequencing a virus can be done in a few days. This ability allows us to develop models for major diseases and reprogram the body to resist diseases like cancer and heart conditions.
Reflecting on this rapid progress feels like revisiting the future I imagined in my youth. When baby boomers were young, humanity reached the moon, marking a paradigm shift in space technology. Now, the shift has evolved, and the future has arrived. Where do you think the next shifts will happen?
