Role of Technology in Futuristic World of Design

Abstract

Design has been subject to constant change since the beginning of time. Designers have been working at the intersection of ideas & trends inspired by culture, for products or buildings. These cultural strings have been accelerated & directly linked with the advancements in technology which is advancing at a very rapid pace.  This has provided ease to the profession with increased productivity and achieving greater user comfort.  It is based on culture, tradition, changing social values and passing trends that change over time. It's hard to predict exactly what the future holds, but we can try to figure out where we will be in the next five decades given the rapids of design and construction technology. In today's world, the internet of things (IoT) and wifi technologies are becoming more prevalent. We spend a large portion of our lives using gadgets that need internet access and wifi coverage, both indoors and out. Its underlying hardware is now turning gears, moving from 3G to 4G to 5G in the near future. The Internet of Things (IoT) is a revolutionary approach to the future technological advancement. It is a modern phenomenon that has transformed conventional lifestyles into high-tech ones. Smart cities, smart houses, emission management, energy conservation, smart transportation, and smart industries are examples of IoT-driven transformations. The Internet of Things (IoT) can be thought of as the Internet's potential measurement, as it enables machine-to-machine (M2M) learning [1].

The emerging future design benefits & enhanced user comfirts have been reviewed making connectivity easier. Design applications linked with IoT , gives numerous benefits to the users in terms of intelligence, information exchange etc which can tackle future challenges of time, culture & mobility.

The major challenge technology driven design is the essence of design should not be lost. It will be very challenging for all designers to drive their design sense linked with technology & achieve the desired outcome without a compromise [2].  

 

The IoT can change the shape of the Internet and can offer enormous economic benefits but it also faces many key challenges [4-5]. Some of them are briefly described below.

A.  Naming and Identity Management: B.  Interoperability and Standardization: C.  Information Privacy: D.  Objects safety and security: E.  Network security:

Overcoming these challenges with create ease of design & user comfort both in terms of application & aesthetics.

This paper introduced the emerging future form of Internet called "Internet of Things" that will connect everything and everyone. The IoT embeds intelligence in the sensor devices to autonomously communicate, exchange information and take intelligent decisions. This paper described briefly the possible future applications with a case study and finally addressed some key challenges associated with the IoT technology. The IoT deployment could be hard and require large research efforts to tackle with the challenges but it can provide significant personal, professional and economic benefits in the near future. This evolutionary process predicts that designers will face a challenge to adapt to the process that the intelligent homes would require, the complex connection and maximum interaction.
