Today, technological progress is faster than ever before. With the advent of 2020, what are the technological trends that cannot be ignored? Let's have a look together!

World history is also a history of invention. The invention of gunpowder changed the world map, the invention of electric light changed the night, the invention of the car changed the space distance, and the emergence of the Internet in the late 20th century changed the way people intersect and changed everything. let Moore's Law become a social law.

Today, technological progress is faster than ever before. It seems that new technological innovations appear every day. For both individuals and businesses, it is important to be aware of the coming technology trends.

Especially for enterprises, understanding these technology trends can help enterprises to be pre-emptive, explore new business opportunities, and expand the scope of business. After all, if you relax and let your competitors take advantage of these technology trends, the company is likely to lag behind others.

With the advent of 2020, what are the technological trends that cannot be ignored? Let's have a look together!

1. Super automation

Super automation combines advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, automation tools and software packages for automated tasks. Although super automation cannot create programs, it can execute a set of programs and work with humans to improve monotonous and repetitive programs to reduce errors.

With super automation, you can create a digital map (digitaltwin of the organization,DTO) of your organization. A DTO is similar to a virtual copy of a program, product, or service. Through this virtual copy, you can visualize the function, monitor and analyze performance, and identify the timing of optimization.

two。 Edge computing

Gartner, an information technology research and analysis company, defines edge computing as "part of a distributed computing topology where information processing is located near the edge, where things and people generate and consume information". To put it simply, edge computing can not only deal with the data near the edge of the network, but also closer to where the data is needed. it can effectively shorten the reaction time and save network bandwidth.

So what does this mean for companies? In fact, edge computing can benefit enterprises in many ways: it can improve network performance by reducing latency (reducing latency), so as to improve client network speed, so that enterprises can expand their business scale, and edge computing also has security advantages.

3. artificial intelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a major innovation in recent years, and many enterprises have now put it into use. Enterprises can use AI to automate programs, improve customer experience, promote digital marketing, and make business decisions based on data. For example, Amazon (AMZN), Postmates, Dominos and other companies are even testing the use of drones and robots for delivery.

In 2020, artificial intelligence will only be smarter and more powerful: virtual assistants and chatbots will be military advisers to advise customers; autonomous learning algorithms will better predict consumer behavior; artificial intelligence will promote e-commerce personalization. In addition, artificial intelligence tools are cheaper and more readily available, so even small businesses will certainly be able to take advantage of this technology trend in 2020.

4. Improvement of human body function

The improvement of human function refers to the enhancement of physical fitness and intelligence of the human body through drugs or technology. For example, human function enhancement devices such as electronic glasses can help legally blind people see things; studies have found that human function enhancement technologies (human augmentationtechnologies such as exoskeletons), such as exoskeletons and prosthetics, can improve the physical strength and endurance of soldiers.

In the near future, companies can use human body enhancement technology to make better business decisions and reduce human errors, thereby increasing productivity (increase productivity).

5. DARQ

According to data analysis by Accenture (Accenture), 89 per cent of companies are currently testing one or more DARQ technologies. DARQ is an acronym for distributed ledger technology (distributedledgertechnology), artificial intelligence (artificialintelligence), extended reality (extendedreality) and quantum computing (quantumcomputing), roughly representing these four technologies.

Many companies are using extended reality to change employee induction training: instead of letting new employees read through the training manual, employees can get first-hand information about tasks by expanding reality. Volkswagen, for example, announced in 2018 that it would train 10, 000 employees on how to use the technology to provide car warranties.

In addition to the above five top technology trends, there are also technology trends such as multiple experiences, robotic program automation, virtual and augmented reality. These are also worthy of attention.
