We live in a world where technology is a part of our everyday lives. Emerging technology is constantly being developed in order to meet needs of companies and people. This technology goes through a variety of testing before it is released to the public.
- Emerging technology is technology based on a new idea that is being tested to determine if it will produce the results it claims, with the ultimate goal that the technology will eventually be mass produced.
- Emerging technology goes through bench scale testing first. This means it is tested on a small scale in a laboratory to determine if it will work and accomplishes what it has proposed.
- Technological field studies bring the new item into one or two settings where it is used in real life situations to evaluate how well it will work.
- If all testing is successful, the emerging technology will be produced and made available for purchase. If testing fails at any point the technology may be revised and the testing process repeated, or the idea may be abandoned in favor of more workable ventures.
- Although testing the materials might have successful results, emerging technology will always require updating and adjusting due to the constant change of the technological world. Problems might arise in situations not covered by testing, and these will need to be fixed.
