2016 has been a transformation year innovation and technology. The trend is expected to continue with elements of disruption. Here is a prediction of trends for the coming year:
1. The Internet of Things
The “Internet of Things,” termed by Cisco, predicts that over 50 million communication devices will be connected wirelessly to numerous network sensors to the web by 2020. They also estimate that the internet of things will be valued at $4.6 Trillion for the next 10 years in the public sector.
Internet of Things Key components: Sensors (Analytics, transistors, chips, RFID), Big Data (and data mining)
Service and Product Application: better performance and efficiency through BPO. Improving government services. Smart solutions under constraints
2. Digital Transformation & Data Science
According to Eric Schmidt, Google CEO, more data is produced compared to the early days of invention. Therefore, managing and organizing data is a necessity. Data analytics and big data collapse the information gap. They give governments and businesses the tools necessary to uncover customer preferences, population movements, trends, commerce traffics, demographics, transportation, and much more. These tools are beneficial to numerous industries.
3. Super and Quantum Computing
We have come a long way from the incredibly slow computers to the paper-thin next generation of computers. In the cloud, we are at the footstep of quantum computing. The scope of human intelligence is expanded billion-fold with technology. For every two years, the speed of computing doubles. Recent breakthroughs in nanotechnologies, physics, and other science materials have brought the computing reality to our tables.
4. C-D Printing
The future of manufacturing is tri-blazed with smart 3-D printing. These connoted a three-dimensional created through different layers through computer programs. For you to print the object, the program of equipment designs the various layers of printing to form a final compound. There are many breakthroughs in wearable and medical sensors.
