The world of electronics has undergone a profound transformation. From mobile phones and smart homes to complex industrial systems, electronics are now an essential aspect of everyday life.
The Internet & The World Wide Web
While the Internet has existed since its inception as ARPANET in 1969, it was not until 1991 that its full potential began to emerge. This shift was catalysed by the invention of the World Wide Web (WWW) by British computer scientist Sir Tim Berners-Lee. His innovation enabled user-friendly access to information and communication, propelling the Internet into global prominence¹.
This digital revolution allows users to connect instantly with others around the world. However, alongside the benefits lie new vulnerabilities. Cybercriminals have exploited these technologies to steal personal data, intercept messages, and engage in financial fraud – crimes now broadly classified as cybercrime².
The Need For Technological Vigilance
Given the rapid pace of advancement in electronics, keeping abreast of emerging technologies is vital for both development and security. Innovations such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Robotics offer improved productivity and safety, but also raise important societal questions concerning employment, skills, and the future of work³.
Adaptability, foresight, and understanding are key to harnessing these advancements effectively.
