Technology is changing and impacting how we work and live our lives more and more over time as technology advances. Within the past ten years, the changes we have seen in such technology has skyrocketed, an you need to fasten up the pace to make intelligent decisions.
With the advancements in the fields like virtual and augmented realities, Internet of things, immersive experiences, etc. It’s important to be in close touch with these technologies because they influence most of our everyday lives and have high potential.
Here are some cool examples of emerging technology in 2019 that I think people should know about:
Digital Twin Technology
For those who don’t know, a digital twin is a digital representation of a real-world entity or system. While it’s one of the most important technology trends for 2019, by next year, it’s expected that about 21 billion connected sensors will result in the existence in over billions.
With this shift to an integrated digital world, it will be highly beneficial for jobs like marketers, healthcare professionals, and planners. This technology is pretty unheard and one of the top trending technologies of the year so I thought I would share it.
Cloud & Edge Computing
Edge computing is a topology in which information source is closer to information processing and content collection and delivery. While it could be apparent that Cloud and Edge computing are competing in approach, the reality is a lot different.
If implemented together, Cloud could be used to create a service-oriented model and Edge could offer a delivery style for execution of disconnected parts of a cloud service. Overall, I’d say this is an interesting technology to be aware of as it can be utilized by anyone.
Immersive Technology
You don’t need an introduction to augmented reality, virtual reality, and mixed reality technologies and how they are changing the way we interact with the digital world as they continue to find a prominent position in the chart of technology trends for 2019.
It is expected that in upcoming years digital media companies such as Microsoft and Apple are focussing more on mixed reality, where a user maintains a presence in the physical world and interacts with objects in digital and real-world. Any user who has tested these technologies in some way are aware of the wonderful and meaningful experience they present.
Conversational Platforms
Conversational platforms have the power to process different user queries and complicated interactions. In near future, these platforms will evolve to process more complex actions. By working out the challenges like the structured way of communication of users, it could be made even better.
I believe these are important to understand as these are beginning to replace traditional web and mobile apps to become the new medium for interactive conversations.
Internet of Things (IoT)
IoT is a concept that describes the idea of everyday physical objects being connected to the internet and being able to identify themselves to other devices. Its significance is that it can represent itself digitally becomes something greater than the object by itself.
No longer does the object relate just to its user, but it is now connected to surrounding objects and database data. I’ve never really engaged in this technology concept before, but it sounds like it will begin to have a lot of potential going into the future.
Opinion and Analysis
There is a significant amount of top technologies right now in 2019. The five I shared are the ones I believe everyone should know about because it is always important to know about, and what I find personally interesting and look forward to seeing them involve in the future. When I first heard of IoT, I had no idea what it was, and now I think its a pretty cool technology.
Immersive technology is another big one I always like learning and talking about. It changed the landscape of so many things, especially gaming and job training. There is no end to technology, and it is advancing at an exponential pace, improving the world and our lives. One could only wonder what the future holds for a highly technological world.
I’m a high user of technology so I am personally very excited to see what the future has in store for us.
