Question

The IT field is in a constant state of flux. Identify the next big trend in IT and discuss its implications

Answer 1

These were few of the technologies that are expected to be the future of IT:
1) Artificial Intelligence
since the invention of computers,their capability in doing various tasks increased exponentially.
we have developed computer systems with increasing speed and reducing size.
artificial intelligence is a science of making computers or machines as intelligent as humans.
This is one technology that is confident to change the future.so all companies are focusing on the power of AI
we are using AI along with navigation apps, streaming services, smartphone personal assistants, ride-sharing apps, home personal assistants, and good home devices.

2) Internet of things (IoT)
From smart cities to driver-less cars and smart factories to smart homes, Internet of Things is going to be everywhere.
The IOT devices are connected to the internet continuously and we can detect and collect the data remotely.
By the collection of data, we can monitor and analyze the data and made efficient systems and increase productivity.
we are able to lock our doors remotely if we have tendency to forget,we can heat up our ovens from work place remotely.
IOT will modify higher safety,It will modify maintenance, speed up treatment, improve client service.
There are many predictions about the total no connected devices in the world.
IHS Markit projects 30.7 billion IoT devices for 2020, and Gartner expects 20.8 billion by that time (excluding smartphones, tablets, and computers).

3) Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality
Augmented Reality is a technology where the images from the real or
physical world is augmented by computer-generated information thus providing a composite view or to be more clear,
provides a computerized image of the real world.
A fine example of this technology is the game Pokemon Go.
Virtual Reality (VR) immerses the user in Surroundings whereas Augment Reality (AR) enhances their surroundings.
these both have huge potetial in coaching,education,marketing,diversion etc

4) Blockchain
The blockchain is the distributed ledger system. It is the technology behind the Bitcoin or we can say behind all the crypto-currencies.
Blockchain saves all the transaction between any two parties in the cryptographically secured blocks of data which are time stamped and mined through the consensus mechanism.

5) Cloud Computing
Cloud computing is the way of accessing the shared computing power by the companies through the Internet.
This shared computing is the availability of the storage, servers, databases, software, services and many others through the internet.
In cloud computing the cloud service providers like Microsoft, Amazon, and Google provide the shared resources services to the clients and charge according to the usage.
Due to the cloud, there is no need to set up a dedicated server or IT service by the company.
