List of emerging technologies

In the history of technology, the following list of emerging technologies, the character of

which comprise cutting-edge developments,[1]

represent contemporary advances and

innovation around the 21st century in various fields of technology. Emerging technologies

are those technical innovations which represent progressive developments within a field for

competitive advantage.[2]

However, the opinion on the degree of impact, status, and

economic viability of several emerging technologies vary. There is an ongoing public policy

debate over many emerging technologies and their implications for society.
