At the turn of the 20th and 21st centuries, dozens of new technologies based on the latest achievements of science appeared in the world. Based on these technical innovations, engineers develop household and production systems that can be used to meet the growing needs of humankind. Modern and rather unusual technologies are already beginning to penetrate into all spheres of life.

Step 1
Engineers and technologists working in various manufacturing industries have high hopes for nanotechnology. There are no generally accepted standards for this area of science and technology. Its main idea is the production of a wide variety of products with a predetermined molecular structure. We are talking about high-precision manufacturing of material objects through the manipulation of atoms and molecules.
Step 2
3D printing technology is no less amazing. On the basis of the digital model, simple three-dimensional objects can be printed layer-by-layer on a 3D printer. It is possible that within the next decade compact 3D printers will appear in every home, taking place next to personal computers. The use of volumetric printing is also very promising in the production of various goods. It allows you to reduce costs to a minimum and ensure high quality products.
Step 3
Wireless computer technologies, which a few years ago seemed a curiosity, are increasingly penetrating into human life. This innovation allows the creation of vast networks that can connect multiple users wirelessly. The carrier of information in such networks is not electric cables, but microwave radio waves. A compact transmitter with a built-in omnidirectional antenna is an attribute of the wireless connection.
Step 4
Wireless transmission of electrical energy is also becoming a reality. In 2011, the first successful experiments in this direction were carried out, which in the near future, most likely, will be embodied in the form of technologies available to ordinary consumers. One of the promising uses of such power systems is the recharging of mobile phones and tablets, which does not use wires, but the transmission of pulses in the microwave range. Scientists are working intensively to increase the distance over which energy can be transmitted wirelessly.
Step 5
There are other modern technologies in the energy sector as well. One of them is associated with the use of geothermal energy, which is contained in the earth's interior. To implement this technology, special geothermal stations are being designed and built. The most promising construction of such structures in areas with increased volcanic activity. Scientists from Japan, Indonesia, Mexico, Nicaragua and China are working on the problems of geothermal energy.
Step 6
Robotics has been developing in the world for several decades. At the beginning of this century, it began to penetrate into medicine. Such technologies make it possible to create automated systems for performing surgical operations. At the same time, the doctor does not contact the patient, but manages the process from a distance through a special terminal. Such technological solutions guarantee minimal interference with the work of the body and allow operations to be performed with extraordinary high precision.
