Upcomming new technologies and other concepts

1. USB3 devices (10x faster than USB2: about 4.8Gbps)
2. Cloud computing
3. Machine learning involves how to write a program that can learn. It learns from examples and feedback. Machine learning techniques include neural networks. It usually deals with a small set of data. The data must be error-free and must be appropriate for the learning task. An example application of machine learning is the computer chess program.
4. Data mining concerns about how to extract knowledge from existing data. The output of data mining queries is the rules, classification or clusters.
