Top Tech Trends To Look Out For In The Coming Year
Advanced technology will continue to change our lives and the way we operate, the earlier we start embracing it, the better for us. Let’s take a look at some technology developments so that everyone knows what to look for, adopt, and take with them in the coming year. Here are the top 8 emerging technology trends you should watch out for and make an attempt at in 2022.
- Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning: Artificial Intelligence has made a lot of hype over the last decade. Still, it remains one of the leading emerging technology developments because its significant impacts on how we live, work, and play are still in their inception.
- Robotic Process Automation (RPA): Robotic Process Automation, or RPA, is another technology that is automating jobs. RPA is the use of software to automate business processes such as interpreting applications, processing transactions, dealing with data, and even replying to emails. RPA automates repetitive tasks that people used to do.
- Edge Computing: Edge computing is a new technology that ensures low latency and high-speed data processing. Edge computing allows computations to be carried out closer to data storage systems, improving application performance.
- Quantum computing: Quantum computing, a form of computing that uses the power of quantum phenomena such as superposition and quantum entanglement, is the next noteworthy technology trend.
- Blockchain: Blockchain is another recent mainstream technology trend. Many people believe that Blockchain is just about Cryptocurrency, which is not the case. In the simplest of terms, blockchain can be described as data you can only add to, not take away from or change. Hence the term “chain” because you’re making a chain of data.
- Internet of Things (IoT): Another promising new technology trend is IoT. Many “things” are now being built with WiFi connectivity, meaning they can be connected to the Internet—and to each other. Hence, the Internet of Things, or IoT. The Internet of Things is the future, and has already enabled devices, home appliances, cars and much more to be connected to and exchange data over the Internet.
- 5G: The next technology trend that follows the IoT is 5G. Where 3G and 4G technologies have enabled us to browse the internet, use data-driven services, increase bandwidths for streaming on Spotify or YouTube and so much more, 5G services are expected to revolutionize our lives, by enabling services that rely on advanced technologies like AR and VR, alongside cloud-based gaming services and much more.
- Cyber Security: Cyber security might not seem like emerging technology, given that it has been around for a while, but it is evolving just as other technologies are. That’s in part because threats are constantly new. The malevolent hackers who are trying to illegally access data are not going to give up any time soon, and they will continue to find ways to get through even the toughest security measures.
It is important to start getting acquainted with most of these trends as they are slowly becoming part of our lives.
