Technology Trends Which Will Transform Our Lives For Good
How Artificial Intelligence (AI) is going to transform our lives in 2019?
Artificial Intelligence is the buzzword of tech town since the two decades. We all have heard that the AI-powered robots and systems are going to take over our jobs. There is no doubt that AI has witnessed evolution due to the advancements in the machine learning and deep learning algorithms.
AI has already made its place in physical tasks in the industrial area. Now AI is pointing towards mental tasks as well like strategizing, planning and decision making.
AI-driven predictions are already transforming our lives when we search in Google, we watch Netflix or we shop at Amazon. We get precise results due to the highly meticulous work of AI for our better experience. 2019 is going to be all about AI assistants managing our lives by arranging journeys, planning the calendar, ordering food etc.
Along with that businesses are going to understand the value of their data and hence data-as-a-service(DaaS) is going to face a new transformation for small businesses.
Blockchain Technology Development
Whenever the topic of blockchain comes up most of us think about cryptocurrencies and majorly bitcoin. I would like to talk about the most important fact about blockchain.
Firstly, It is not Bitcoin and not even limited to cyber currencies. 2019 is going to be all about witnessing the transformation in multiple industries due to the invasion of blockchain with other trending technologies like Internet Of Things, machine learning, artificial intelligence etc.
Secondly, government agencies are going to adopt blockchain. The higher authorities are very impressed by the capabilities of blockchain to store huge data quantity, this data can be accessed from anywhere; above all with the top class security, the data will be hack-proof.
Finally, researchers are claiming that blockchain should be replaced with distributed ledger technology. The reason behind this is the name is the reason behind its slow adoption.
Why the Internet of Things (IoT) will be the most beloved technology?
There is no doubt that we all are slowly getting dependent on connected devices. We have already heard of smart cars, smart homes, now there will be a smart neighborhood, smart sideways, smart parking and smart buildings.
Even the business stakeholders are deploying IoT solutions to transform their customer relationships, improve operations and distinguish the products. From RFID tags, smart beacons, healthcare bands, sensors etc are going to be the game changer for multiple industries.
Smart manufacturing, smart pills, smart inventory management, smart home care, smart and secure electronic health record management these words will be the norm for consumer and patient care.
Also, IoT solution providers are going to focus on IoT application development( connected apps ), better voice search and smarter everything.
Cloud Computing & Development
Cloud computing is no longer a luxury tool for large enterprises and corporations. It has successfully evolved for small business as a reliable delivery platform and scalable service offering. We are all set to witness quantum computing in the upcoming time.
The strong competition between huge companies like IBM cloud service, windows azure cloud service, Amazon cloud services, Google cloud consulting services is going to introduce Quantum computing.
It is expected that to reduce the risk of data transition and make cloud computing services much affordable Hybrid computing will be introduced.
What will be the impact of Big Data / Data Scientist on small businesses?
Big data analytics solutions have become the backbone of several businesses.
The major impact of big data is on the predictive analysis. This technology trend is already booming the retail industry with a deep analysis of customer responses.
In addition to that in 2019, it is expecting to witness more consumer insights in other industries like healthcare, automotive, hospitality, aerospace, and many others.
The demand for big data analytics services is going to grow, which will result in more demand of chief data Officers. Along with that, the dark data will get the importance it deserves. Dark data is the data acquired by multiple network operations which are neglected by the analysts.
Augmented Reality (AR)/ Virtual Reality (VR)
AR/VR is my personal favorite because I love the way it has introduced new interactive ways in all the major industries. Especially education and healthcare. With the introduction of ARKit and ARCore, Augmented reality is enabled on more than 500 million devices around the globe.
Augmented reality is going to impact the manufacturing in 2019; multiple Industrial AR tools are going to help in the various departments. There will be a more explanatory demonstration of machinery on the VR headsets.
Above all, the most anticipated trend for AR & VR is a mixed reality. The balanced mixture of AR and VR will allow the users to manipulate the virtual and physical items with deep interactions.
How RPA: Robotic Process Automation will be a digital boom?
Robotic process automation is obviating the complex and time-consuming tasks which are resulting in the help of corporate employees to focus on work which is more essential.
As per Garter, 2020 will have $1 billion RPA market. The upcoming days will have serverless computing with RPA. The consumers can run as many bots as they want without any need for server capacity planning.
RPA products will concentrate on unstructured data by moving from data collection to data analysis. By using AI, NLP and Cognitive Capture algorithms data can be structured, stored and delivered to the enterprise. This will help in better decision making.
2019 will have formal RPA roles like RPA manager, Bot trainer, BOT developer. Also, companies will start utilizing the automation skill of RPA in talent acquisition.
Autonomous Driving (Robot Cars: ROS)
All the major automotive companies around the world have already introduced semi-autonomous cars. Consumers are all anticipating for full-autonomous cars in 2019. and on the other hands enterprises are also planning to launch their trials via ride-hailing services.
Waymo has already completed 7 billion miles on the virtual simulations and 10 million miles experiences on the road. Waymo is all set to launch its early rider program in the commercial version in multiple cities around the globe. It will result in the largest ride-hailing service which is self-driving.
On the other hand, General Motors is also launching its commercial ride-hailing service in San Francisco at a rate of $1.50 miles which is 40 % less than the common human-operated services.
When Intelligent Apps will be the only way!
Wondering what are intelligent apps?
Well, we can say the right balance of artificial intelligence and machine learning in the form of mobile apps. These mobile apps learn by the interaction with the data and adapt as per the environment.
We are expecting a lot from Intelligent apps in 2019, like the use of speech, gesture, and bio-metrics for operating apps. Mimicking human functions and converting text to speech and vice-versa for more industries.
These apps are going to leverage the power of technology trends like IoT, Machine learning and Artificial Intelligence to deliver the whole new level of customer experience.
Cyber Security
With the devolution of technology, collecting and storing data has become easy. But still, the major concern is data security.
Cybersecurity is already helping enterprises and small businesses to protect the data from a potential hacker. But as we have discussed above technology is going to witness a huge change in 2019. so it is necessary to keep the cybersecurity updated as well.
Entity and user behaved analytics systems will become a necessity for businesses with the training program and automated testing.
Cyber education, staff cyber awareness programs, monitoring and measuring staff cyber behavior will be encouraged highly.
Along with all this, consumer privacy act will also take over the world. As a result, California has already passed the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018(CCPA) which will be in effect from 2020. Organizations which depends completely on the consumer data might face huge loss due to this law.
