The world of IT is always changing. New devices are coming out, new software updates are being released, and new inventions are happening every day. Keeping up with everything in the industry can be a difficult task for anyone-especially when you’re an expert! Wouldn’t it be great if there was someone to tell you what’s going on in the industry? Well that’s why we’ve compiled this list of 6 trends that will keep you updated on all things technology!
Cloud Computing
The past few years have seen more companies switching over to cloud computing due to its many benefits including lower costs, increased productivity, easy scalability, etc. This trend shows no signs of slowing down either as nearly 75% percent of large enterprise organizations are currently using cloud computing for their business.
Big Data Analytics
With more and more data being produced every day by businesses, it’s important that we find a way to keep up with the ever-growing amounts of information. Thanks to new technologies such as Hadoop and Splunk, companies can now store massive quantities of structured and unstructured data in just one place! This allows them to analyze all of this information so they can make better decisions faster than ever before.
Virtual Reality
The entertainment industry has been abuzz about virtual reality (VR) since 2012 when Oculus Rift was released on Kickstarter. Since then, VR technology has improved dramatically which is why you’re likely going to see many more people looking into purchasing headsets and other VR equipment.
Machine Learning
The idea of machines being able to teach themselves has been around for a while but it’s only recently that we’ve seen the technology really starting to take off. Machine learning is impacting our world in ways such as self-driving cars and improving search result accuracy on Google, among others! Many companies are now looking into implementing machine learning algorithms in their software so they can also improve performance when processing data or making decisions based on this information.
Blockchain Technology
If you’re like most people then chances are you haven’t heard about blockchain technology yet (we hadn’t either until earlier last year). Blockchain allows decentralized transactions between two parties without any third party having approved them which means no more need for a bank or other financial intermediary to oversee the transaction! Blockchain has been around for about eight years but it’s only recently that people are starting to realize its potential and companies such as Microsoft, IBM, and MasterCard have all jumped on board.
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
The idea of creating machines that can learn like humans is nothing new-in fact we’ve been thinking about this since before computers even existed! The difference today is that there seems to be more money going into AI research than ever before. Tech giants such as Facebook, Google, Apple and others will continue to invest in this technology which means you’ll soon see chatbots replacing customer service representatives at many businesses!
