Ask HN: What emerging technology do you think is the most interesting and why?
- deutronium 11y agoTheres a really interesting list of some on wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_emerging_technologies http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_emerging_technologies
- d0ugie 11y agongx/mod_pagespeed, because it implements best practices without interfering with developer workflow. Also the QUIC protocol, gotta save round trips... Hope to see it more widely-implemented.
- unclesaamm 11y agoThese are very neat. Thanks.
- squiguy7 11y agoTo put it simply: containers. Mostly because they are gaining a lot of traction and their use cases seem to be molding a whole new concept of our technology stacks.
- georgerobinson 11y agoI'm really enjoying developing software for wireless sensor networks. It's amazing how much you can do with 10KB of RAM (that's including RAM for the operating system too).
- rampant 11y agoJust out of curiosity what types of projects are you working on?
- georgerobinson 11y agoMy projects thus far has been purely academic. I built a middleware for data gathering applications that need best-effort anycasting to the nearest base station. The middleware runs on ContikiOS. At present it is still a prototype. I need to improve the resilience of sensor to base station communication for multi hop paths, make improvements to the route announcement protocol and respective timeout equations.
- MaulingMonkey 11y agoHead mounted displays (Oculus Rift, SteamVR, Hololens). I think a new market (at least for games) is finally emerging here.
- Jack000 11y agopretty excited about digital manufacturing - I think instead of 3d printers in every home we'll be able to eg. Scan your foot, upload, and get a shoe that fits you exactly.
