This paper proposes a method of forecasting the computer technology development direction. Most computer technology researches in Korea are developed from hot research issues. This approach to take research topics mostly produces less valuable results. In order to choose more valuable research topics, researchers should company with the technology development trends. This paper proposes a way to forecast the computer technologies on the way to the future. It analyzes the development history of programming languages, and forecasts future directions as extensions of the history.

With the recent rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology, its use is gradually expanding to include creative areas and building new content using generative AI solutions, reaching beyond existing data analysis and reasoning applications. Content creation using generative AI faces challenges owing to technical limitations and other aspects such as copyright compliance. Nevertheless, generative AI may increase the productivity of experts and overcome barriers to creative work by allowing users to easily express their ideas as digital content. Thus, various types of applications will continue to emerge. As images and videos can be created using text input on a prompt, generative AI allows to create and edit digital assets quickly. We present trends in generative AI technology for images, videos, three-dimensional (3D) assets and scenes, digital humans, interactive content, and interfaces. In addition, the prospects for future technological development in this field are discussed.

This article prospects the patterns of technological innovation in the steel industry and suggests the directions of technological innovation in Korean steel industry. Technological innovation patterns can be analysed through technological trends, innovation-inducing mechanism, and innovators' relationships. In the technological trends, direct coupling of manufacturing processes, lasting growth of mini-mill, and the importance of technological integration are prospected. In the innovation-inducing mechanism, while production system will be specialized, the development of new steel materials and environment-friendly technological innovation will be accelerated. In the innovators' relationships, steel industry faces more complex competition and new forms of inter-firm cooperation including M&A, joint venture, and joint R&D. In order to cope with such changes in the technological innovation patterns, Korean steel industry need to establish core competence based on technological innovation through a great leap in R&D investment, the production of high value-added products, the development of new generation steel technologies, strategic joint R&D, comprehensive technological cooperation, and government's active support.

In the digital era, broadcasting plays a very large role as a means of communication, as it no longer merely provides information or entertainment media. Particularly in the case of the visually and hearing-impaired, broadcasting is the primary means of acquiring information, so its role as a public service needs to be expanded. The development of digital technology enables the quantitative expansion of traditional methods of disability broadcasting, i.e., closed caption, sign language, and descriptive video service, with an acceptable level of quality. In this study, we review the current trends of, and concerns related to, broadcasting services for disabled people, as well as technological trends, and proposals for increasing visibility and accessibility to broadcasting for hearing-impaired people.

Educational technology (ET) and learning sciences (LS) are two related disciplines that have shared interests in studying technologies for advancing human learning. This study conducted a content analysis of articles published in authoritative academic journals, Educational Technology Research and Development (ETR&D) and Journal of the Learning Sciences (JLS) from 2003 to 2012. By selecting and examining 93 issues with 429 articles during this decade with three analytical frameworks, the purpose of this study is to determine research trends precisely and create a scientific communication and theoretical connections for these two disciplines. The illustrated results indicate the dialogue between these two communities has begun yet accompanied by some certain limitations, whereas, they still need be more cooperative and communicational to move towards further integration, so as to contribute to promoting progressive education, learning theory and practice.

The rapid development of technologies in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) has led to their use in various areas. UAVs are mainly used for commercial purposes, but their utilization is increasingly important in other areas because their operation cost is less than satellites and aerial imaging. The utilization of UAVs in the environment/ecology area is relatively new. Therefore, identifying the trends of UAV-related spatial information is significant in basic research for UAV utilization. This study quantitatively identified domestic and international research trends related to UAV utilization and analyzed research areas. An attempt was also made to identify upcoming UAV-related topics in the environment/ecology research field using text mining to analyze the bibliographic information of global research literature. Domestic UAV-related studies were classified into seven clusters where basic research on "UAV technology/industry trends" was abundant, and studies on data collection and analysis through UAV remote sensing technology have increased since 2015. Eight clusters were identified for international studies where the most active research area international was "remote sensing technology/data analysis". In addition, Canopy, Classification, Forest, Leaf Area Index, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, Temperature, Tree, and Atmosphere appeared as the main keywords related to environment and ecology. The appearance frequencies and association strengths were high because the advancement in UAV optical sensor technology and the rapid development of image processing technology enabled the acquisition of data that could not be obtained from existing spatial information. They are recognized as future research topics as related domestic studies have begun corresponding to international research.

Since the third artificial intelligence boom was triggered by deep learning, it has been 10 years. It is time to analyze and discuss the research trends of deep learning for the stable development of AI. In this regard, this study systematically analyzes the trends of research on deep learning over the past 10 years. We collected research literature on deep learning and performed LDA based topic modeling analysis. We analyzed trends by topic over 10 years. We have also identified differences among the major research countries, China, the United States, South Korea, and United Kingdom. The results of this study will provide insights into research direction on deep learning in the future, and provide implications for the stable development strategy of deep learning.
