IT TRENDS

WHAT ARE IT TRENDS?

 Technology is an ever-changing playing field
and those wanting to remain at the helm of
innovation have to adapt. The consumer
journey is charting a new course and
customers and companies alike are
embracing emerging technologies. As the IT
industry trends such as cloud computing and
SaaS become more pervasive, the world will
look to brands who can deliver with accuracy
and real-time efficiency.
 To help meet the demands of a technology-
enabled consumer base, businesses and
solution providers must also turn toward the
latest trends and possibilities provided by
emerging innovations to realize their full
potential.
EXAMPLES OF IT TRENDS:
THE A.I.
 The A.I. or what we call, artificial
intelligence refers to the simulation of
human intelligence in machines that are
programmed to think like humans and mimic
their actions. The term may also be applied
to any machine that exhibits traits
associated with a human mind such as
learning and problem-solving.
BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY
 Blockchain technology is most simply
defined as a decentralized, distributed
ledger that records the provenance of a
digital asset. It is a digital record of
transactions. The name comes from its
structure, in which individual records, called
blocks, are linked together in single list,
called a chain. Blockchains are used for
recording transactions made with crypto
currencies, such as Bitcoin, and have many
other applications.
INTERNET OF THINGS(IOT)
 IoT is essentially a platform where embedded
devices are connected to the internet, so they
can collect and exchange data with each other.
It enables devices to interact, collaborate and,
learn from each other's experiences just like
humans do. Its system consists of
sensors/devices which “talk” to the cloud
through some kind of connectivity. Once the
data gets to the cloud, software processes it and
then might decide to perform an action, such as
sending an alert or automatically adjusting the
sensors/devices without the need for the user.
VIRTUAL REALITY(VR)
 Virtual reality (VR) refers to a computer-
generated simulation in which a person can
interact within an artificial three-
dimensional environment using electronic
devices, such as special goggles with a
screen or gloves fitted with sensors.
This technology is used to create immersive
experiences that can help educate and even
entertain consumers. Outside of its popular
gaming use case, virtual reality is applied in
a variety of industries, such as medicine,
architecture, military, and others.
AUGMENTED REALITY(AR)
 Augmented reality(AR) is the real-time use of
information in the form of text, graphics,
audio, and other virtual enhancements
integrated with real-world objects. When
someone talks about AR, they are referring
to technology that overlays information and
virtual objects on real-world scenes in real-
time. It uses the existing environment and
adds information to it to make a new
artificial environment.
ROBOTICS PROCESS
AUTOMATION (RPA)
 Like AI and Machine Learning, 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.
QUANTUM COMPUTING
 Next remarkable technology trend is quantum
computing, which is a form of computing that
takes advantage of quantum phenomena like
superposition and quantum entanglement. This
amazing technology trend is also involved in
preventing the spread of the coronavirus, and to
develop potential vaccines, thanks to its ability
to easily query, monitor, analyze and act on
data, regardless of the source. Another field
where quantum computing is finding applications
is banking and finance, to manage credit risk, for
high frequency trading and fraud detection.

CYBER SECURITY
 Cyber security might not seem like an 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’s also in part because new technology is being
adapted to enhance security. As long as we have
hackers, cybersecurity will remain a trending
technology because it will constantly evolve to
defend against those hackers.
