Here are the 10 top tech trends you need to understand right now
Tech analyst firm Gartner has compiled a list
of the top ten strategic technology trends that organisations need to explore
in 2019. According to Garner, these technologies have substantial disruptive
potential and are either on the edge of making a big impact, or could reach a
tipping point in the next five years.
The analyst firm's top 10 strategic technology trends for 2019
include:
Autonomous things
This includes robots, drones and autonomous vehicles that use AI
to automate functions previously performed by humans. The next shift is likely
to be from standalone intelligent things to swarms of collaborative devices
working either independently or with human input, Gartner predicts. For example,
a drone could decide that a field is ready for harvesting, and dispatch a robot
harvester. "Or in the delivery market, the most effective solution may be
to use an autonomous vehicle to move packages to the target area. Robots and
drones on board the vehicle could then ensure final delivery of the
package," said Cearley.

Edge computing
Edge computing is a growing area of
interest, mostly for now driven by the IoT and the need keep the processing
close to the edge of the network rather than in a central cloud server. Over
the next five years, specialised AI chips, along with greater processing power,
storage and other advanced capabilities, will be added to a wider array of edge
devices, Gartner said. In the long term, 5G will offer lower latency, higher
bandwidth, and enable more edge endpoints per square kilometre.

Immersive experience
Gartner looks beyond virtual reality and augmented reality to a
future model of immersive user experience, where we connect with the digital
world across hundreds of surrounding edge devices. These include traditional
computing devices, wearables, cars, environmental sensors and consumer
appliances.
"This multi-experience environment will create an ambient
experience in which the spaces that surround us define 'the computer' rather
than the individual devices. In effect, the environment is the computer,"
said Cearly.

Smart spaces
A smart space is a physical or digital environment in which
humans and technology-enabled systems interact, like smart
cities, digital workplaces, smart homes and
connected factories. Gartner said this area is growing fast, with smart spaces
becoming an integral part of our daily lives.
