7 Technology Trends to Follow in 2020
The technological advancements over the last 10 years are commendable. Organizations must quickly adapt to the latest technology in use else will fall behind.
The importance of digital transformation is becoming crucial for sustainability.
The organization must have a strong base around the Social, Mobile, Analytics, and the Cloud. A strong IT infrastructure is the need of the hour.
The technology adoption rate is at dramatically higher rates currently and also the adoption of new technology is at rising.
So, conducting a current state analysis is important to know where you stand now in terms of technical competence.
5G Technology
5G Technology is expected to transform the digital ecosystem to a great extent. The world of connected devices will see a boom time.
5G will act as a perfect communication partner for technologies such as self-driven cars, virtual reality, augmented reality, smart cities, etc.
The current challenge for 5G is the network provider’s bandwidth expansion and network cost for data packages.
Autonomous Driving
The idea of driverless cars is becoming a reality already. The scope of Autonomous Driving is huge.
Large companies like Google, Tesla, and startup are coexisting in the autonomous vehicle market.
With advanced data analytics, predictive analytics, machine learning, artificial intelligence, etc., the autonomous driving ecosystem is growing.
Functions such as automated braking, lane-changing, and in-car automation are becoming more sophisticated.
Edge Computing
Edge Computing is evolving and becoming more mainstream with the rise of the Internet of Things (IoT).
Edge computing power the IoT and connected devices to communicate effectively with the host servers using distributed cloud services.
Edge computing enhances security, reduces downtime, safe from on-premise network hacks, and has a faster response time.
Highly in use for autonomous vehicle development, connected devices communication, big data analytics, etc.
The distributed cloud architecture edge computing follows to make it transfer data faster and secured in real-time.
It enables us to communicate to the connected devices and servers without transferring the data to a remote or host server located in a different place, thus boosting the communication speed in real-time.
Open market Place for Technology
A group of open source communities is setting the stage for technologists, software developers, marketers, analysts to share knowledge and inputs to the public on how effectively use the latest technology in full potential.
Key areas of focus for these technology communities or open market places are
- Application development
- Design elements
- Data and Analytics
- Technology implementation best practices
Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence is been constantly evolving over the years.
AI and Machine Learning go hand in hand to mimic human intelligence and perform tasks such as recognition of images, speech patterns, and decision making.
The basic applications of AI is already been in use in navigation apps, streaming services, smartphone voice assistants, etc.
Advanced AI is in use for building autonomous cars, predictive analysis, robotics, etc. and is seen to be a revolutionary technology and a technology platform that has numerous applications in the future.
Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality
Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality is been in use in the education, entertainment, and hospitality sector largely currently.
It is seen as a technology that simplifies complex concepts into interactive gamification that will get the attention of the consumers easily.
Players like Google, Samsung, Oculus have applications and devices already in the market. Virtual gaming, Touring, medical use, etc., are the top uses of VR and AR.
There is a growing opportunity for new applications powered by AR and VR as the general acceptance level of this new technology is on a high side.
Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity has been at the forefront for a long time. Currently, it is one of the most sought-after technologies every organization is adopting.
The cyber hacks are becoming frequent and organization losses (both financially and reputationally) due to a data hacks are hard to regain. Organizations are considering cybersecurity as the top priority
To stay competitive, organizations must be constantly adopting the latest technology solutions that can help the business grow.
Stay tuned for more technology trends!
