Electrical
Many pieces of modern technology use electricity in some form. A few examples of electrical technology include:
Computers:
Computers operate through a rapid pulsing of electrical currents. Their core foundation of computers is binary code, which determines whether there is an electrical current. Depending on the order in which the device receives these currents, a computer performs different functions. People use computers to access the internet and print physical copies of digital content among other functions.
Circuitry:
A collection of electrical components that perform a particular function is a circuit. An example of an electrical circuit is a computer processor, which is a small component that translates electrical signals into computer code. Electrical circuits exist in many modern-day items, such as computers, remote controls, cell phones, appliances and more.
Artificial intelligence:
Artificial intelligence is a computer system designed to make decisions and perform actions autonomously. There are varying degrees of artificial intelligence sophistication in many of our daily tasks. For example, online navigation apps use artificial intelligence to analyze the best route for a traveler based on traffic, road closures and more. Another example is search engines, which use artificial intelligence to determine the best results to display for each unique user.
Software:
Software includes the programs a computer uses to function properly. Most software aims to provide entertainment to users or make tasks more efficient. For example, word processing software makes it easier to create and edit documents when compared to older forms of technology such as a typewriter.
Audio and visual technology:
Audio and visual technology consists of items such as cameras, microphones and projectors. Their purpose is to capture and display audio and visual mediums to users. Audio and visual technology often combines with other forms of technology, such as cellphones, to provide camera functionality, for example.
