What are the 25 biggest technology trends that are defining
the next decade as a business futurist. As per Source the IDC Worldwide
Semiannual Digital Transformation Spending Guide, world-wide annual spending on
services and technologies is about to hit a more than $2.8 trillion as
forecasted. The spending on digital transformation is at an estimated annual
growth rate of 17.6% for a period of five years (2019-23). Here' the 25
technology trends are driving the fourth Industrial Revolution and that are
really redefining our world and are driving us to this new industrial
revolution that is going to transform businesses and our world.
#1. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning
Today's biggest technology trend that is transforming how
businesses like Netflix and Amazon operate even our email spam filters. We're
using AI every single day and this will transform our businesses gives machines
the ability to learn by themselves and make more autonomous decisions.
#2. The Internet of Things or IOT
We now have more interconnected and smart devices. They
started with our phones now we have smart watches, we have Smart TVs and soon
smart everything. Today we have 20 billion soon we have 200 billion
interconnected devices and they surely will transform our world.
#3. Wearable Technology
It all started with fitness trackers but soon we'll have a
plethora of smart devices that will make our lives as humans safer more
efficient and healthier and potentially even augment what it means to be human.
#4. Big Data
We now have a word full of data more than ever before what
we now also have is intelligent algorithms that can extract insights
automatically so we get augmented inside that will give companies unprecedented
insights from their data.
#5. Intelligent Spaces
What we're seeing is that our homes and offices and a bit
and our buildings are becoming smarter and more intelligent and this will
transform the way we live and the way we work.
#6. Blockchains
They are super secure ways of storing our information and validating
transactions. We're not talking about distributed Ledger's as well. This will
transform how banks operate and how we keep our possessions.
#7. Clouds and Edge Computing
Cloud computing means we can now process and store data via
the internet on other people in other people's data centers edge computing
means we can now process more of this data on our devices like smart
phones.
#8. Extended Reality
What we are now seeing is that our real world is being
extended into the digital world with augmented reality. We place objects onto
the real world or even virtual reality where we are completely immersing
ourselves in the digital world the future will mix those realities much more
intensely.
#9. Digital Twins
They are basically virtual copies of products orbeven entire
processes and ecosystems that allow us to tweet them and experiment with them
without actually having to do this to the real object.
#10. Natural Language Processing
This is the ability of machines to understand our language.
It gives machines the ability to read text to summarize text for us and even
write entire books by voice.
#11. Interfaces and Chat BOTS
We are all used to the Alexus and theories and our lives. This
will only increase check BOTS will become more intelligent. They will
understand our emotions and we will be able to communicate with them much
better than we can do today.
#12. Computer Vision and Facial Recognition
Basically this is the ability of machines to be able to
understand who is on a photograph and what is on a photograph and and machines
are getting extremely good at this sometimes better than humans.
#13. Robots and Cohorts
What we are now seeing is increasingly autonomous robots
that are aware of their surroundings. So they become intelligent co-workers of
us. They are aware of us, we are aware of them and we can work together with
them.
#14. Autonomous Vehicles
Autonomous vehicle, driverless car, robo-car, or robotic
car, is a vehicle that is capable of sensing its surrounding environment and
moving safely with little or no human input. We are now seeing self-driving
cars self-driving delivery robots and we will see a lot more of those in the
future.
#15. 5G
5G is basically the fifth generation of mobile communication
that will give us speeds and latencies of Internet communications on our phones
that is as good as our fiber optic lines and our officers.
#16.Genomics and Gene-editing
Basically it's the ability to understand our genomic
structure how we are made up as humans and what we're made of above and the
ability to edit ourselves to cancel out things like cancer and potentially
create completely new beings that have never existed before machine core.
#17. Creativity and Augmented Design
This basically means that we can now use tools like
artificial intelligence to enable design software that can be creative come up
with new ideas and new concepts. We're now seeing creative. AI is being able to
come up with new music new dance routines and this is going to transform the
creative processes in our organizations.
#18. Digital platforms
Platform businesses like Facebook, Airbnb, Uber and others
have been extremely successful and they're transforming how we interact with
the world. They're bringing us the gig economy and they will bring us more
transformations in the future.
#19. Drones
These autonomous flying objects will not only transport our
parcels to us it will be part of the logistics supply chain but they will also
transport passengers. So the future will be to replace or Thomann autonomous
cars with self-flying drones.
#20. Cyber security
It is most important things to defending computers, servers,
networks, data, mobile devices, electronic systems from malicious attacks. It's
also known as information technology security. We're now facing digital threats
not just by people but using the latest technology like AI to automate attacks
and companies need to use the latest technology to ward those attacks off.
#21. Quantum Computing
This is completely redefining what computer is and could
give us computing power that is millions if not but trillion times more
powerful than even supercomputers we have today.
#22. Robotic Process Automation
Robotic process automation is a form of business process
automation technology based on metaphorical software robots or on artificial
intelligence or digital workers. It is sometimes referred to as software
robotics not to be confused with robot software. We use intelligent tools to
help us automate processes but not just programming them but simply having
tools watch art and then take over and improve it.
#23. Mass Personalization
What we're now seeing is that companies are becoming more
intelligent and understanding about us and are able to serve as products and
services in the exact moment when we actually need them.
#24. 3D Printing
3D printing or additive manufacturing is a most exeptional process
of making three dimensional solid objects from a digital file or drawing. It is
transforming the way we manufacture in the past decades. We had to take things
off. Now we're adding things and we're using innovative materials to build new
things layer by layer from trainers to entire houses.
#25. Nanotechnology and Material Science
This is transforming our understanding of materials on a micro
level and will give us completely new products things like bendable screens and
extended battery lives.
