The Emergent Age is the fourth generator of the Technological Civilizations and the eleventh generator that produces Ideas overall.

Description

"A new era in the history of mankind, the Emergent Age is a time where new advances in technology lead us to question what it means to be human, and the boundaries between people and technology."

Design

The Emergent Age model is a quadcopter drone.

	Machine Learning	An early form of AI that allows machines to learn through experience without being explicitly programmed to do so. We're on the verge of a new kind of sentience.	Ideas 8.62 E10	10%	Emergent Age
	Bio-Tech	We’ve been augmenting ourselves with tools for as long as we've had thumbs—now, we can alter our very bodies.	Ideas 1.21 E11	5%	Emergent Age
	Space Station	Man, once confined to Earth, can now live in outer space. Orbiting the planet for prolonged periods of time, astronauts living in the International Space Station are learning about the effects of long-term spaceflight.	Ideas 1.38 E11	50%	Moon Mission
	Smart Phone	Calling people? Who would ever bother? Phones are for apps and browsing. What kind of troglodytes do you take us for?	Ideas 2.59 E11	25%	Emergent Age
	Nanotech	The manipulation of matter on an atomic scale. Using nanotechnology, we may be able to create stronger materials, make better electronics, and solve medical problems by manipulating our very molecules.	Ideas 2.93 E11	10%	Emergent Age
	Drones	Drones are small aircraft without a human pilot. They are early commercial autonomous creations.	Ideas 6.90 E11	25%	Emergent Age
	3D Printing	3D printing is the process by which material is joined into a solid form under computer control to create a three-dimensional object.	Ideas 1.21 E12	25%	Emergent Age
	Humanoid Robot	We're building them in our own image. The line between man and machine becomes harder to see.	Ideas 1.96e12	25%	Drones AI
