The streams of initiatives and innovations in technology have been flowing in to our lives day in and day out. Technology has engulfed us without our knowing by not only entering in to our lives but also in to our body and mind as well. It is now extremely difficult to imagine life without technology. Tech Streams is an effort to paint the land scape of emerging technologies in the various domains – viz – Infrastructure abbreviated as Infra ; Information Systems abbreviated as Info and the Biological Engineering abbreviated as the Bio. Thus we have the Infra, Info and Bio – the three streams of technology that will be addressed under the Tech Streams. Each stream – while maintaining its distinct identity – enables Researchers and Academicians to address the streams and their overlaps as well ; Thus enabling a true interdisciplinary approach to the vast knowledge base of Technology.
