India has always been considered the wonderland; the exotic foreign country that while holding the secrets of mysticism and spirituality, still lacks in technological advent. But all this is fast being changed. With India taking huge progressive steps in the direction of technological domination, the world at large has witnessed a new age dawn wherein India has emerged as having one of the strongest and most talented pool of tech experts. Owing to this fact, there has been a tremendous upsurge in the field in India too. The land once considered that of snake charmers, is showing unbound growth in terms of technology and advancement. Here are some illustrations to prove the point.
In Vitro Food products- This is one concept that when fully developed, will go a long way towards solving the world’s food shortage. With scientists toiling hard to develop food products, both animal meat and plant products, in the laboratory, the day is not too far when there will be synthetic yet perfectly safe and healthy food products fully developed in vitro will be available for mass consumption.
Robotic Surgery- Robotic surgery is another field where Indian experts have made tremendous inroads. Being used sparsely as of now and only for extremely delicate procedures, they are soon expected to be a regular occurrence and revolutionize the field of surgery. The procedures carried out by such robots are extremely safe and are conducted in sterile environments with almost no human element, eliminating the chances of infections.
Laser Displays- While we are quite familiar with laser projectors, the ones in use commonly are only capable of projecting monochromatic images. The laser displays being developed today, through a combination of red, green and blue wavelengths, are capable of producing the widest possible gamut of colors human eyes have the ability to perceive, as compared to the 40% produced by the commercial display units at present. Once fully functional, these laser displays will radically change the interactive experience with a display screen.
E-Textiles- These are textiles with embedded electronic components such as miniaturized computers. This is a revolutionary concept still in the final stages of development, though the thought has been around for a while. Integrating the textiles with controls to manage an electronic device is, to some extent, displayed in music controllers that are embedded in one’s clothing. Once completely developed, they will be a major source of convenience eradicating the need for external controlling devices such as remote controllers.
These are all technologies that are being perfected in Indian laboratories with the sole purpose of adding convenience to human life and asserting Indian dominance in the tech world. Once fully developed, they have the potential to rewrite the history of technology from an Indian perspective.
