The early 21st century living standards , comforts for humans (Homo sapiens sapiens) and technology based lifestyle has become a reality because of foundations laid by breakthroughs made in Science and Technology, innovation through automation and mechanization during the 20th century. However the 22nd century is going to be shaped by Unification of Science and Convergence of Technologies. A single theory which can explain the working of planets and at the same time can show how atoms and subatomic particles behave. This necessity to find single unified theory in science is enabling the convergence of Nanotechnology (material technology), Biotechnology, Information Technology and Cognitive Technology . And this convergence is laying down the platform for the intelligent future world. In everyday life we can observe that the technological enhancement happening in simple gadgets to complex devices around us.The present crisis in environment, energy, population growth and sustainability of human species can only be solved through this convergence of technologies.
