1 Emerging Technologies and Applications Josh Baron Associate Director for Instructional Technology Center for Improved Engineering and Science Education (CIESE)

2 CIESE www.k12science.org Emerging Technologies How Fast Can You Go?  Over the last 100 years the type of information that we can transmit electronically has not changed  Only the transmission speed has increased  The typical high-speed Internet connection is 300,000 times faster then Morse Code

3 CIESE www.k12science.org Emerging Technologies Today’s Common Technologies  Dial Up Connection – Uses existing telephone lines and modem (Speed: 56,000 bps)  T1 Lines – High-speed digital telecommunications line (Speed: 1,544,000 bps or 1.54 Mbps)

4 CIESE www.k12science.org Emerging Technologies Tomorrow’s Technology Today  Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) Can provide connection speeds of 512 Kbps to 1.54 Mbps Uses existing telephone system but employs new technology COST: $49.95 per month ( 2 yr.) Limited availability – future unclear

5 CIESE www.k12science.org Emerging Technologies Tomorrow’s Technology Today  Cable Modem – Uses existing cable TV system to deliver high speed Internet access Connection speeds of 1.5 Mbps COST: $40 per month Becomes slow with too many users

6 CIESE www.k12science.org Emerging Technologies Tomorrow’s Technology Today  Wireless Computing – Wireless Local Area Networks (LANs) and Wireless modems are now available Wireless LAN – Radio frequency-based (Speeds: 11 Mbps) Cover only small local area

7 CIESE www.k12science.org Emerging Technologies Tomorrow’s Technology Today Wireless modems – Radio or cellular (CDPD) frequency based Coverage is limited (Speed 19.2 kbps – 28.8 kbps) COST: $300 - $1000 for modem card and $45 per month Some are going out of business

8 CIESE www.k12science.org Emerging Applications What Does This All Mean?  Multimedia Internet-based applications  Video Conferencing via the web and wireless devices (e.g. cell phone, Palms)  Application Service Providers (ASP)  “Thin Client” Applications  Remote access to scientific instrumentation
