So I went wild! These are the six technology trends that I picked.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Maker Programs<\/li>\n<li>Programmable Biology (or Synthetic Biology)<\/li>\n<li>Robots<\/li>\n<li>Drones<\/li>\n<li>Bitcoin (Virtual currency)<\/li>\n<li>Gamification (or Digital engagement)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>OK, actually the maker programs, drones, and gamification are not too wild, I admit. But programmable biology, robots, and bitcoin were really fun to talk about.<\/p>\n<p>I did not necessarily pick the technologies that I thought would be widely adopted by libraries, as you can guess pretty well from bitcoin. Instead, I tried to pick the technologies that are tackling interesting problems, solutions of which are likely to have a great impact on our future and our library patrons\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 lives. It is important to note not only what a new technology is and how it works but also how it can influence our lives, and therefore library patrons and libraries ultimately.<\/p>\n<p>Below are my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.slideshare.net\/bohyunkim\/back-to-the-future-part-iii-libraries-and-the-new-technology-frontier\">slides<\/a>. And if you must, you can watch <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=yT_IcEhvOMo\">the webinar recording<\/a> on Youtube as well. Would you pick one of these technologies if you get to pick your own?
