  2. Technological singularity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technological_singularity

    Both for human and artificial intelligence, hardware improvements increase the rate of future hardware improvements. An analogy to Moore's Law suggests that if the first doubling of speed took 18 months, the second would take 18 subjective months; or 9 external months, whereafter, four months, two months, and so on towards a speed singularity.

  3. Artificial intelligence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_intelligence

    Artificial intelligence (AI), in its broadest sense, is intelligence exhibited by machines, particularly computer systems.It is a field of research in computer science that develops and studies methods and software that enable machines to perceive their environment and use learning and intelligence to take actions that maximize their chances of achieving defined goals.

  4. Theories of technology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theories_of_technology

    Here Geuss's [8] definition is given, where "a critical theory, then, is a reflective theory which gives agents a kind of knowledge inherently productive of enlightenment and emancipation" (1964). Thus Marcuse argued that while technology matters and design are often presented as neutral technical choices, in fact, they manifest political or ...

  5. Technology acceptance model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technology_acceptance_model

    The TAM model has been used in most technological and geographic contexts. One of these contexts is health care, which is growing rapidly [18] Saravanos et al. [19] extended the TAM model to incorporate emotion and the effect that may play on the behavioral intention to accept a technology. Specifically, they looked at warm-glow.

  6. Educational technology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Educational_technology

    Various pedagogical perspectives or learning theories may be considered in designing and interacting with educational technology. E-learning theory examines these approaches. These theoretical perspectives are grouped into three main theoretical schools or philosophical frameworks: behaviorism, cognitivism, and constructivism

  7. Very-large-scale integration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Very-large-scale_integration

    Very-large-scale integration (VLSI) is the process of creating an integrated circuit (IC) by combining millions or billions of MOS transistors onto a single chip. VLSI began in the 1970s when MOS integrated circuit (metal oxide semiconductor) chips were developed and then widely adopted, enabling complex semiconductor and telecommunications technologies.

  8. Scientific theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_theory

    A scientific theory is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on a body of facts that have been repeatedly confirmed through observation and experiment. Such fact-supported theories are not "guesses" but reliable accounts of the real world. The theory of biological evolution is more than "just a theory".

  9. Theoretical physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theoretical_physics

    The proposed theories of physics are usually relatively new theories which deal with the study of physics which include scientific approaches, means for determining the validity of models and new types of reasoning used to arrive at the theory. However, some proposed theories include theories that have been around for decades and have eluded ...
