Why this narrow
focus ?
===================================
Economic Times ( 11 oct ) carries following news
report :
“ Govt is working on a roadmap for
Emerging Tech “
The government is looking at forming a comprehensive
strategy to ENCOURAGE and ADOPT , emerging technologies such as BLOCKCHAIN , Artificial
Intelligence ( AI ) and Big Data Analytics
The idea is not just to increase their USAGE in the official machinery but also to PROMOTE the increasing number of emerging Start-Ups in this
space
The exercise will also look at defining
possible regulatory framework to take care of the PRIVACY as well as other
regulatory aspects . Officials of the ministry of Electronics and IT gave a
presentation to the Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad in the first week of
September signalling for the first time that the government has decided to
discuss a ROADMAP for these
technologies
All of this is very welcome
But why are we confining ourselves to
looking at / investigating / adopting , only Internet and Software related
technologies ?
There are dozens of other technologies
which too need to be evaluated and acquired ( if found suitable ) from all over
the World – and from within our own country – for solving extremely urgent
problems facing the economy
If we fail to seize this opportunity ,
others will exploit these and might even monopolize these !
It was for this reason that in my
following blog ( sent as email to Policy Makers ) , I had suggested creation of
:
TEAM
[ Technology Evaluation and Acquisition
Ministry ] ( 21 April 2017 )
In that email , I had listed some 10 /
12 technologies which ( in my opinion ) , could be deployed for attacking some
of the pressing problems
And one of those “ pressing problem “ is urban traffic which is dominated by cars which cause following
problems :
Traffic congestion slowing down
vehicular traffic to barely 10 km / hour
Parking problems
Pollution
To overcome these problems , I had
suggested fast adoption of Geo-Orbital Electric
Wheel
If you are wondering how a bicycle WHEEL could be ELECTRIC and whether it can replace cars / motor-bikes , ( for
short distances , up to 10 Km ride ) ,
