Talk:Emerging technologies

message: I've created a new article devoted to this, as the redirect to "Emergence" was unhelpful. My first cut of the article needs a lot of expansion and qualification, but I think I've made a reasonable start in laying out the issues. Metamagician3000 12:26, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: From Redirect to Stub

message: There needs to be an entire new section on how emerging technologies effects the commercial market. I'm not sure where this belongs. But I state why I found this page. 
Blue lasers capable of reading at higher data compression where developed, and then as a result the media market shifts from dvd to blue ray. Record to tape, VHS to DVD. Ships and Railways to Airplanes. I mean really important stuff. Where to put it all.--Sparkygravity (talk) 14:08, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Hmmm... Not a bad idea. However, that section should not be written a way that it makes it looks like an advertisement for a particular product. --Loremaster (talk) 16:02, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

message: I saw that my integration into this article of examples from List of emerging technologies was removed. I agree that it was unsourced, but I still think there should be examples in the article. Perhaps not all the examples deserves a place, but let's at least take some of them - Nanomaterials, for example, is obviously going to show new technologies in the near future.

message: With the emerging technology advancing at such a great rate it has made it a lot easier to communicate with friends and families.  IPhones and Smart Phones let you update Fackbook and MySpace from just about anywhere.  You can also read e-mails and respond to them quickly.  The online  community is also expanding to where you can go online and play games with your frinds and family.  With X-Box, Playstaion 3, and the WII you can play games and talk to your frineds and family as you are playing.  
In some aspects these are great things for families.  A parent can call there child at anytime to find out what they are doing, or where they are at.  A person with a flat tire can call a friend to stay on the phone with them until help arrives, if they can't change it themselves.  Parens can also track there kids spending habits with on-line banking right from there cell phones or computers.  There are many great things that new technology has helped families keep better in touch with each other with.   GPS in vehicles helps families get to there destination faster and safer.  The internet helps kids with homework projects.  These are just a few of the ways that technology has helped families in there daily lives. Chakamull (talk) 00:35, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

message: Google Scholar querry suggests emerging technologies term is much more common than hypothetical technologies (by 100:1). The topics seem identical. One could quibble hypothetical is ever less "here" then emerging, but that's semantics that I am having trouble backing up with reliable sources. In either case, everything discussed there is emerging (AIs, mind uploading, space exploration stuff). In particular, both articles have sections on AI There is also a problem with definition which goes against ht article stating "Hypothetical technology is technology that does not exist yet, but that could exist in the future". Finally, the term "hypothetical technology" seems possibly ORish and/or failing WP:GNG. Oh, there also is a List of hypothetical technologies which should be merged to List of emerging technologies.

message: Once a tech becomes emerged (and how to determine that) should it be removed from this article? Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 16:34, 2 December 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I would say no.  But we should record when and how the technology became mainstream.  Part of Wikipedia's mission is as a historical record.  There is far too much deleting instead of updating when things change.  That's a WP:RECENTISM attitude which is not what an encyclopaedia is all about. SpinningSpark 18:03, 2 December 2022 (UTC)

message: The multi-use rockets section is a eulogy to Elon Musk's Space X.  An important development, but reusability is not limited to Musk.  The Space Shuttle was reusable (but not the main fuel tank).  Virgin Galactic spacecraft are fully reusable. SpinningSpark 17:27, 11 February 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, I have to agree here. The paragraph incorrectly attributes multi-use rockets to Musk. The statement "is believed to be one of the most important factors for the future of space travel" is unsubstantiated and is a self-promotional narrative of Elon Musk.
