12 BEST TECHNOLOGY OF YEAR 2018

1. The Device Mesh to Be Used on Different Devices

The device mesh goes beyond the desktop computer and mobile devices to cover a wide range of devices, appliances, and interfaces with which humans interact with. As the device mesh increases in size, there will be more number of interactions among them. There will be a significant development in wearable technology and augmented reality, all of which will be connected with IoT devices in a seamless, interconnected mesh.

2. Ambient User Experience to Boom

All our device interactions can be easily synchronized into a continuous and ambient digital experience that stores all our experiences across different devices, time, and space. Such personalized experiences uses real-time information which are contextual and change when the surrounding environment changes.

3. Information of Everything to Be Available

Every technology around us is making, using, and communicating with virtually immeasurable amounts of data. Therefore, it is important that companies understand which information can be used strategically, how different types of data can be accessed from sources, and understand how various algorithms use information of everything.

4. Autonomous Machines to Rise

Robots, autonomous vehicles, smart advisors, virtual personal assistants, etc. are the results of some smart machine implementations which are on the rise due to advanced machine learning. Such autonomous agents will soon become the main user interface with which humans interact and feed into the ambient user experience.

5. Advanced and Improved System Architecture to Be Used

The smart machines and the vast digital mesh around us needs complex computing architecture to make them compatible and easy-to-use for organizations. This added boost will be possible only with highly efficient neuro-morphic architectures. Neural architectures are already powering super computers around the world, and the time is not far away before they become more commonplace.

6. IoT Architecture and Platforms to Flourish

The standards and technologies used in an IoT platform form the basis for communicating, managing, controlling, and securing endpoints in IoT. IoT platforms exist behind the service architecture and the mesh app, thereby allowing third-party apps to connect and communicate efficiently.

7. Advanced Machine Learning to Boom

Advanced machine learning is what makes smart devices appear to be intelligent in the real world. It makes the devices understand the concepts and also learn them. The behavior of a smart device can change in future with machine learning and this field is evolving very quickly and businesses need to take this into consideration to gain competitive advantage. Google Assistant launched just this year, aims to achieve this and much more.

8. Adaptive Security Architecture to be Used

With increasing developments in the hacking industry and the complexities of digital business, the threat of a security breach for any organization is also increasing at a rapid pace. The leaders in IT therefore must also pay attention to such threats and find new ways to block such attacks.

9. Mesh App and Service Architecture to be Introduced

The service architecture and mesh apps work together to deliver the app in a dynamic and flexible digital mesh environment. This architecture will serve the user's requirement as they change with time. This mesh also integrates various device elements to provide a smooth digital experience.

10. 3D Printing Materials to Increase

We will continue to see a rapid advancement in the field of 3D printing materials including carbon fiber, electronics, glass, nickel alloys, pharmaceuticals, and biological materials. The fields it will serve are also diverse which include aerospace, automotive, medical, military, energy, etc.

11. Cloud Migration to Increase

Cloud adoption will be moving towards cloud-first strategies. Investing in cloud-first technologies will prove to be beneficial for businesses by reducing the equipment and hosting costs, streamlining operations, increasing the capacity and productivity. Cloud-first solutions will help in keeping the company agile and flexible.

12. Augmented and Virtual Reality to Grow Exponentially

Augmented reality and virtual reality has already gained tremendous popularity in the past year and this trend will continue in 2018 as well. We will get to see some mainstream uses of AR and VR in the coming year. The AR and VR devices are in the final stage of development and will be soon up for mass production and use.
