Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence (AI) are going to be bigger this year. More and a lot of organisations can embrace AI that is made possible through machine learning algorithms and can be incorporated in uncountable applications.
5 Generation Technology
This year, developers and engineers have gotten ready to make a new generation of internet possible. By the end of 2019, 5G networks and phones with 5G are going to be accessible. 5G internet has the potential to be almost 10 times faster than 4G, making it even better than most home internet services.
Data overload
In 2018, data collection is going to become a good higher priority as companies have seen the advantage of collecting consumer data. With customers talking to smart speakers throughout their day and looking forward to digital devices for most of their daily tasks, companies will soon have access to massive amounts of personal data.
Automation
Automation is inevitable as robots are becoming more effective in performing jobs. AI has become advanced enough to replace at least some white collar jobs for years. 2018 is also the year that we tend to see more sweeping job transformations and firms making massive technology changes by automating functions.
IoT becomes Blockchain IoT
The Internet of things (IoT), that involves adding smart sensors to connected devices so that users can do things like asking Amazon's Alexa digital assistant to turn off the lights or order a pizza pie. Combining IoT with blockchain or BIoT brings in a whole host of new services and businesses.
For instance, Biot can be used to track shipments of pharmaceuticals and to create smart cities inwhich connected heating systems better controls energy use and connected traffic lights better manage rush hour.
