Emotion: The First Technological Revolution
Yonck describes this as 3.39 million years ago (I put it at 1 CE for convenience). As far back as before civilization began, people were using emotions. Verbal language, emotion, and nonverbal communication were all passed down from generation to generation. Yonck states, "Many cognitive and evolutionary factors needed to come together to make the development and transmission of this knowledge possible (pg. 38)." -
3D Technology is Released
In 1922, the first film was released in the 3D feature. This shows how much technology had advanced in order to provide for entertainment purposes.

Technology is Advancing
In the late 1900's, technology started to advance. This is often seen in the practice of medicine. Yonck describes a man who potentially had a brain tumor and due to technological advances, was able to have a procedure to remove it, therefore, to make a full recovery. The advances in medical technology continues to lead our world to new places. -
Affective Computing is Born
In 1995, Rosalind Picard published the book "Affective Computing." This explains how emotions play into the future of technology. She believed that technology and emotions are very intricately connected. -
Technology is Frustrating
In Colorado Springs, Colorado, Lucas Hinch, pulled out a handgun to his Dell XPS computer. He let out his frustration because he claimed the computer was giving him trouble for months. This is just one example of how technology doesn't always work and can cause frustration. -
Release of Self-Sustaining Self-Driving Cars
Self-driving cars are designed to fully operate without human intervention. This technology could provide new opportunities for transportation that the world has never seen. Automakers are moving towards this technology, while still working out some issues.

Nursing & Healthcare Robotic Care
In the next 100 years, I predict there will be technology to provide healthcare in new ways through the use of robots. Robots will be able to provide nursing skills for patients, determine a diagnosis, and prescribe/administer appropriate medications. Although each patient is different, using AI, robots will be able to detect symptoms and signs that will allow them to care for the patients.
