Top 6 emerging technologies
The numbers are not in any particular order, It’s purely based on the direction market and technology are marching toward.
Artificial intelligence
The holy grail of artificial intelligence research is general AI or a machine with self-awareness and intelligence comparable to that of a human. These theoretical systems would be our intellectual equals—that is until v2.0 comes along and we fall to a distant second – a singularity.
Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality
In 2022, we can expect these forms of technologies to be further integrated into our lives. Usually working in tandem with some of the other emerging technologies we’ve mentioned in this list, AR and VR have enormous potential in training, entertainment, education, marketing, and even rehabilitation after an injury Fun fact: 14 million AR and VR devices were sold in 2019. The global AR and VR market is expected to grow to $209.2 billion by 2022, only creating more opportunities in the trending technology, and welcoming more professionals ready for this game-changing field.
Blockchain
Although most people think of blockchain technology as cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, blockchain offers security that is useful in many other ways. In the simplest of terms, blockchain can be described as data you can only add to, not take away from or change. Hence the term “chain” because you’re making a chain of data. Not being able to change the previous blocks is what makes it so secure. In addition, blockchains are consensus-driven, so no one entity can take control of the data. With blockchain, you don’t need a trusted third party to oversee or validate transactions.
Quantum Computing
The next remarkable technology trend is quantum computing, which is a form of computing that takes advantage of quantum phenomena like superposition and quantum entanglement Quantum computers are now a multitude of times faster than regular computers and huge brands are now involved in making innovations in the field of Quantum Computing. The revenues for the global quantum computing market are projected to surpass $2.5 billion by 2029.
Internet of Things (IoT)
Many “things” are now being built with WiFi connectivity, meaning they can be connected to the Internet—and each other. The Internet of Things is the future and has already enabled devices, home appliances, cars, and much more to be connected to and exchange data over the Internet. And we’re only in the beginning stages of this new technology trend: Forecasts suggest that by 2030 around 50 billion of these IoT devices will be in use around the world, creating a massive web of interconnected devices spanning everything from smartphones to kitchen appliances. Global spending on the Internet of Things (IoT) is forecast to reach 1.1 trillion U.S. dollars in 2022.
Edge Computing
Formerly a new technology trend to watch, cloud computing has become mainstream The adoption of cloud computing is still growing, as more and more businesses migrate to a cloud solution But it’s no longer the emerging technology trend. Edge is Edge computing will increase as the use of the Internet of Things (IoT) devices increases. By 2022, the global edge computing market is expected to reach $6.72 billion. success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal
