Today's Tech Trend
Today,technology has been quickly affecting our daily lives in a positive way.Therefore, this has lead to us on existing trends in technology we use in this era.
The first trend is autonomous robots.We always imagine a world where robots could live in harmony with humans. We dream of inventing autonomous robots that could mimic humans and are able to understand our needs.
The artificial intelligence we are seeing today is believed to be only the beginning of a new future where it is going to change the way people make decisions,personally or in terms of business. AIs could analyse better and more accurate than humans can.Therefore,better analysis leads to a more stable decision that could give a big impact to life.
Next is that simulations now are being developed at a fast pace parallel to the inclination of the technology we have. Simulations have been created to aid in the process of adapting in various kinds of fields which includes medical,aeronautics and many more to decrease any risks possible.
Another trend that is closely related is augmented reality.Augmented reality is especially widely used in games and an example of a game that uses augmented reality is Pokemon Go.Other than that is cybersecurity. Since IT is being applied at an extensive rate,problems regarding to it keeps arising.Therefore,the cybersecurity is important in terms of maintenance.
The next tech trend is big data.Big data is defined as data sets that are extremely large and complex to be computed by traditional dataprocessing application software.Big data offers great statistical power but since it is highly complex,this could lead to higher false discovery rate.
Last but not least is cloud computing. Cloud computing is where a network from remote servers which is available on the internet is used to store, manage and process data instead of storing it in a local server or a personal computer. This is really helpful as it reduces management as it relies on sharing of resources.
