Emerging technologies
are technologies that are perceived as capable of changing the status quo. These technologies are generally new but include older technologies that are still controversial and
relatively undeveloped in potential, such as 3D printing, pre implantation genetic diagnosis and gene therapy which date to 1981, 1989 and 1990 respectively.
Emerging technologies are characterized by radical novelty, relatively fast growth, coherence, prominent impact, and uncertainty and ambiguity. In other words, an emerging technology can be
defined as "a radically novel and relatively fast growing technology characterised by a certain degree of coherence persisting over time and with the potential to exert a considerable impact on the
socio-economic domain(s) which is observed in terms of the composition of actors, institutions and patterns of interactions among those, along with the associated knowledge production processes.
Its most prominent impact, however, lies in the future and so in the emergence phase is still somewhat uncertain and ambiguous.".
Emerging technologies include a variety of technologies such as educational technology, information technology, nanotechnology, biotechnology, cognitive science, psychotechnology, robotics, and
artificial intelligence.
New technological fields may result from the technological convergence of different systems evolving towards similar goals. Convergence brings previously separate technologies such as voice (and
telephony features), data (and productivity applications) and video together so that they share resources and interact with each other, creating new efficiencies.
