Effect of Digital Technology on Adolescents

Current Trend In Digital Technology

Going into the 2020 century, the increasingly popular digital technologies consist of the internet of things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), big data, block chain technology and telecommunication networks 5G. These technologies are interconnected with each other and benefit human life in general. The following is a description of some examples of digital technology applied according to the current developments. Internet of things (IoT) defined as dynamic global network infrastructure with self-configuring capabilities based on standards and interoperable communication protocols, physical and virtual things. While IoT also have identities and attributes and using intelligent interfaces and being integrated as information network (Shancang Li & Li Da Xu & Shanshan Zhao, 2015). IoT also known as an inter-connected world-wide network based on sensory, communication, networking, and information processing technologies. Moreover, IoT is able to interact without human intervention. This is a new version of information and communication technology (ICT) (Kranenburg 2013; Marry 2013). Several technologies are applied in IoT include wireless sensor networks (WSNs), barcodes, intelligent sensing, RFID, NFC, low energy wireless communications, cloud computing, and so on (Shancang Li & Li Da Xu & Shanshan Zhao, 2015). The sectors involved in the adoption of IoT technology consist of the healthcare, transportation, banking, automotive industries, education, and others (Ri et al., 2014)
