The US state of Maryland experiences change in technology earlier and more rapidly than most parts of the country.[ citation needed] The state government encourages the deployment of innovation. [1]
The lead organization in this is Mtech [2] (the Maryland Technology Enterprise Institute, previously known as the Maryland Technology Extension Service). [1]: 147 Mtech is headquartered at the A. James Clark School of Engineering of College Park, and has local offices throughout the state for experienced engineers to quickly visit companies in need of advice. [2] [1]: 147
Litigation involving new technology is considered to be "complex litigation", and falls under the judiciary's Business and Technology Case Management Program (BTCMP). [3] BTCMP is an activity of the Committee on Complex Litigation , a committee of the Conference of Circuit Judges. [3]
By the 1990s, change in technology had shifted the state's economy from a largely manufacturing base to the mostly service- and information technology- economy that it is today [update]. [4] Acs found Maryland to be the third highest recipient of Small Business Innovation Research Program (SBIR) grants after California and Massachusetts. [5] This abandonment of the previous industry left a large number of urban brownfield sites however, and that naturally led to urban sprawl in search of usable land. [4] The incoming Governor responded by emphasizing smart growth to limit sprawl. [4] He and the state have become associated with the policies and technologies of smart growth and brownfield cleanup. [4]
Most uses of the telecommunications standard 3G will be[ needs update] discontinued by the beginning of 2023. [6] This will affect use of many mobile devices, but will be especially problematic for the emergency services. [6]
The telecommunications standard 5G has been implemented in some parts of Maryland as of November 2022 [update]. [7] By early May of 2020, 5G rollout in Baltimore had begun as with several other larger cities in the country. [7] This drove the hiring of many tower technicians to perform the deployment itself, reaching 450 by September of 2020. [7]
Advancements in farm technology are particularly important to Maryland because can greatly reduce the amount of various substances that will run off into the Chesapeake. [8] [9] [10] In the case of self-driving tractors that's because they apply agricultural chemicals more precisely, [8] [9] and animal waste processing technology because it reduces the nutrient content. [10]
The Department of Agriculture disburses the Animal Waste Technology Fund (AWTF) to encourage the development, implementation, and demonstration of such technologies for the state. [10]
