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 ) , then click here :
