and improving at a geometric sequence. So, expect groundbreaking
innovation and changes in technology this year. So, which trends should
you pay attention to this new year? There are uncountable tech trends
you should, Here are top five tech trends you should watch.
Internet of Things (IoT)
Writing
in Forbes, Jacob Morgan regards IoT as a concept of basically
connecting any device with an on and off switch to the Internet. This
includes everything from cell phones, coffee makers, washing machines,
headphones, lamps, wearable devices and almost anything else you can
think of. There will be more research into IoT even if it may not me
perfected this year. Today, we have smart homes replete with connected
products with so many possibilities to make our living in our homes cosy
and comfortable.
Artificial Intelligence
Simply
put, Artificial Intelligence is intelligence exhibited or shown by
machines. Many tech companies are aggressively investing in the
development of AI which is set to become the next big thing. A good
example of AI when Google’s artificially intelligent Go-playing
computer system defeated Korean grandmaster Lee Sedol in the final game
of their historic match, finishing the best-of-five series with four
wins and one loss. This interesting but the more AI become part of our
daily lives, the more robots take over human jobs. But be assured that
AI is something to look forward to this year.
3 Dimensional printing for everyone
According to Wikipedia, 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing (AM), refers to processes used to synthesise a three-dimensional object in which successive layers of material are formed under computer control to
create an object. Although AI has been around for years, the price of
3D printing is very expensive. But according to projections, the price
is expected to become pocket-friendly.
Cybersecurity will remain a major concern
With
Russia and United States at going for each other's jugular when it
comes to hacking, cybersecurity will no doubt be a major concern for
every country this year. More measures will be announced to combat
hacking as nations shore up their cybersecurity. In addition to this is
industrial espionage.
