Top Technology Trends in 2019
Technologies, that will take the world by storm this year.
1. Artificial Intelligence(AI)
Definition:
- Artificial intelligence (AI) is the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems or AI is the ability of a digital computer or computer-controlled robot to perform tasks commonly associated with intelligent beings
- a branch of computer science dealing with the simulation of intelligent behavior in computers
Example:
- Popular AI cloud offerings include Amazon AI services, IBM Watson Assistant, Microsoft Cognitive Services and Google AI services, Virtual assistant (Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, Apple SIRI, Samsung’s Bixby
Application:
- AI camera mode, AI based usage pattern, AI chat-bots etc.
2. Machine Learning
Definition:
- Machine learning is the scientific study of algorithms and statistical models that computer systems use to progressively improve their performance on a specific task
- Machine Learning is the Field of study that gives computers the capability to learn without being explicitly programmed.
Example:
- Image, speech recognisation medical diagnosis, market future etc.
Application:
- Self driving car, spam detection and filtering, social media ads etc.
3. Blockchain
Definition:
- A blockchain is literally a chain of blocks. it is a growing list of records(blocks) which are linked using cryptography. Each block contains a cryptographic hash of the previous block, a timestamp, and transaction data
Example:
- Crypto currency like bitcoin, ethereum, munero etc.
Application:
- Crypto currency payment, voting, Land Registry, digital ledger Smart contact, digital identification or signature, blockchain IoT, and thousends of application
4. 5G Technology
Definition:
- It is the 5th generation of wireless network technology
- With each generation it improves the speed, security safety, and bandwidth.
Application:
- Mobile networks, broadbands, etc.
6. Electric, self driving cars and Flying Taxis
Definition:
- Electric cars are the cars that run by the power of electricity.
- Self driving cars are the cars which are driverless.
- flying Cars or taxis that uses air medium for transportation are called flying taxi or flying cars.
Example:
- Electric: Tesla model 3, model x, etc. and BMW i3, Hyundai ionic, Audi e-tron etc.
- Autonomous: Mercedes-Benz E-Class, BMW 5 Series, Volvo Xc60, Tesla Model S, Tesla Model X, Audi A8.
- Uber is testing flying taxis and other startups related to the same are growing.
* Google Apple Samsung these are also working in the field of self-driving cars and flying taxis
6. Edge computing
Definition:
- Edge computing is a distributed computing paradigm in which computation is largely or completely performed on distributed device nodes known as smart devices or edge devices as opposed to primarily taking place in a centralized cloud environment.
- Edge computing allows data produced by internet of things (IoT) devices to be processed closer to where it is created instead of sending it across long routes to data centers or clouds.
Example:
- routers, switches, integrated access devices (IADs), multiplexers, and a variety of metropolitan area network (MAN) and wide area network (WAN) access devices
- Application:
- internet of things (IoT), network computing etc.
7. Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality
Definition:
- Virtual reality (VR) is an interactive computer-generated experience taking place within a simulated environment. This immersive environment can be similar to the real world
- Augmented reality is a technology that superimposes a computer-generated image on a user's view of the real world, thus providing a composite view
Example:
- AR and VR Glasses, (HTC Vive, Oculus go, Playstation VR etc.)
Application:
- Realizing before doing or buying, AR , VR in e commerce , education , court room, and healthcare, and a vast application.
8. Internet of Things
Definition:
- The Internet of Things (IoT) is a system of interrelated computing devices, mechanical and digital machines, objects, animals or people that are provided with unique identifiers and the ability to transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction
Example:
- Kisi Smart Lock, Canary Smart Security System, DHL's IoT Tracking and Monitoring System, Cisco's Connected Factory, ProGlove's Smart Glove.
Application:
- Smart home, smart city, wearables, connected cars, supply chain, smart farming.
9. Cyber Security
Definition:
- Cyber security refers to the body of technologies, processes, and practices designed to protect networks, devices, programs, and data from attack, damage, or unauthorized access. Cyber security may also be referred to as information technology security
Application:
- Encryption, Authentication, Authorization, Network Security, Security by Design, Secure Coding, Physical Security, VPN, Secure Communication
10. Renewable energy
Definition:
- energy that is collected from renewable resources, which are naturally replenished on a human timescale, such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, waves, and geothermal heat.
- energy from a source that is not depleted when used, such as wind or solar power
Example:
- Solar energy, Wind energy, Hydrostatic energy, Biomass energy, Hydrogen and fuel cells, Geothermal power etc.
Application:
- Renewable energy can be utilized in our daily life.
