Technology electronics A Primum Mobile in Human lives Dr. S. S. Verma, Department of Physics, S.L.I.E.T. P eople at work, home or around demand technology that can keep up with their fast-paced lives. Appliances and electronics must work faster, better and more reliably than ever before- and get more accomplished in less time. Electronic devices are not only leading the day to day life activities but have given some miraculous technologies in various fields like medical, sensing and security, business, lighting, entertainment, sports, communication, transportation, space exploration, weather and natural disaster prediction and many more technological avenues with tremendous development towards the benefit of mankind which can simply be termed as technological miracles through electronics. Electronics will certainly play a large part in the new world and solve many industrial problems. Electronics will create jobs in many other fields, and perhaps by reducing manufacturing costs of many items. The present article is a small effort in this direction to briefly highlight some of such technological miracles through electronics. Industry The variety of functions of which electronics is capable, in industrial applications alone, could not be described in anything short of an encyclopedia. All we can do here is to glance at a few things electronics can do better than they were done before, and others which, without electronics, could not be done at all. The great impact will come, not through any one spectacular development, but through the expanding uses of electronics in industry. Some of the key industrial technological developments based on electronics can be summarized as: Production: The production of countless necessities of life as, houses, autos, machinery, tools, are being immeasurably speeded up and improved with the use of electronics based applications. Automation: Factory production is being made more and more automatic by amazingly accurate electronic methods of sensing and measurement and control. ELE Times | 42 | December, 2016
