Gartner recently completed its Symposium ITXpo where it makes Predictions on how technologies will evolve and how they will be used. Curtis Franklin provides a summary on Information Week of these predictions. Let’s take a look:

• Artificial intelligence (AI) will positively impact the behavior of more than 1 billion workers around the world by 2020
• As the number of commercial transactions continues to grow, Blockchain, although in the early stages, is showing promise to reduce transaction “friction”
• Gartner believes the infrastructure is there to support new data and increased data from IoT. Gartner expects that by 2020 IoT storage demand will be less than 3%
• Industrial IoT will bring more predictability to maintenance, benefiting the bottom line by reducing costs
• In the coming years every $1 of innovation will also require $7 for deployment and operational costs
• Company investment in fitness trackers will play a role in reducing employee health care costs, but there will be a need to address privacy and security
• As augmented reality continues to gain traction through gaming, Gartner expects by  2020 that it will also be commonly used for shopping assistance by consumers
