Future of tech refers to next generation of technology and advancements that are currently in development or will be conceptualised.

Technology continues to evolve and the future of tech promises more than just tools. As AI and automation advance, you will have to adapt to these changes.

Although, the tech trends we are embracing right now are really speeding up.

Why the future of tech???

Reflecting on some pressing challenges that lead me to write on this topic, a couple of things sparked my curiosity:

1. People struggle to keep up with new technologies, they get lost in too much information.
2. Not everyone benefits equally from advancements in technology causing uneven accessiblity.
3. Technological progress has often been overshadowed by bias AI algorithm, misuse of personal information, and electronic environmental waste.
4. Many people especially younger generations, lack clarity on how changes in tech will shape their lives
5. Automation and AI could lead to job displacement. How can we prepare for this?

Development made in tech

There have been series of development in technology. Finger printing, iris scan, facial recognition, voice recognition, hand geometry are a few that are available.

We’ve witnessed tech magic like AI, quantum computing and more.

Biometric Authentication

100% of your devices, like smartphone is using biometrics for transactions.

By 2025, about 50 billion devices will be connected to the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), while 70 percent of manufacturers are expected to be using digital twins.

A digital twin is a virtual representation of a physical object, process, system, or environment.

The IoT is a network of connected devices that can collect and share data. In the future, the IoT could be used to create smart homes, cities, and even factories.

The pace of change is speeding up tenfold it’s all happening faster than it has been.

Voice control

In 10 years, advances in natural speech generation could make voice control the way you interact with machines.

You already speak to machines like Alexa and Siri, although the experience can be shaky , yet with the use of AI there is enhanced healthcare, education and few automation function just for you.

Quantum Computing

Quantum computing is a new way of computing that uses the principles of quantum mechanics.

Quantum mechanics is the study of how things behave at the smallest level, like atoms and particles.

It is a new type of computing that could solve problems that are currently impossible for classical computers.

Quantum computing will help with drug discovery, material science and cryptography.

Embracing Workforce Transformation

By 2025, Augmented Reality will be a major trend in both consumer and business applications.

Advances in hardware, like AR glasses and better mobile devices, will make AR more immersive and interactive. It’s going to change the way you interact with the world around you.

Have you imagined just sitting in your study yet you are present in a board meeting far from your home?
We already in that phase of technology only that it hasn’t evolved round the world yet.

The Future of Technology and Innovation

Around 70% of companies will be using hybrid or multi cloud management technologies, tools, and processes by 2025.

Hybrid and multi-cloud management technologies are tools and platforms that help organizations manage their cloud environments. They make it easier to:

• Deploy and manage applications across multiple clouds
• Monitor and optimize cloud resources
• Ensure security and compliance
• Automate tasks

Conclusion

1. Technology has caused a number of problems, although it’s advantages overweighs its disadvantages.

2. Technology has advanced in a few development like biometric authentication, and work force tech.

3. Quantum computing is an evolution of computing and its still under studied.

4. The future of technology will be more of hybrid tech.
