The 10 Tech Trends That Will Transform Our World
Trend 1: Ubiquitous computing

These days, computers are all around us: in our pockets, on our wrists, in our cars, even in our household appliances.

As processing power has increased and the size of computer microchips has shrunk,

we’ve quickly become used to computers and devices getting smaller, lighter, cheaper, more powerful, and more ubiquitous.

(As an example, the average smartphone today is more powerful than the supercomputers of 10 years ago.) Looking ahead, probably the next big leap in computing power will come from quantum computers – computers that are so fast and powerful,

they could be used to complete new, previously impossible tasks that traditional computers aren’t capable of.
Trend 2: Connected and smart everything

No doubt you’re familiar with the Internet of Things (IoT) from devices like smart TVs, smartwatches, and smart thermostats.

The IoT refers to the increasing number of intelligent, connected devices and objects that are capable of gathering and transmitting data.

In the future, anything that can be connected, will be.

Not just in terms of devices and products – although that is obviously a key consideration for businesses – but also the spaces in which we live and work.

From smart, connected factories and offices to entire smart cities,

the spaces around us will increasingly be equipped with the ability to monitor what’s going on and act accordingly.
