People in the tech world are not really known for being trend setters, at least when it comes to fashion or other things in the non-tech world. However, they are tech trend watchers when it comes to what may be launching or coming “down-the-pike” in the future. We like to keep our finger on the pulse of the tech world, so here are just a few of the tech trends we are watching for 2017.
- Advanced Intelligence – Creating intelligent systems that learn, adapt and potentially act autonomously rather than simply execute predefined instructions is primarily battleground for technology vendors through at least 2020. Systems can learn and change future behavior, leading to the creation of more intelligent devices and programs.
- Intelligent Apps – Intelligent apps, which include technologies like virtual personal assistants (VPAs), have the potential to transform the workplace by making everyday tasks easier (prioritizing emails) and its users more effective (highlighting important content and interactions). Think about how much we love Siri and Alexa already – just expand it!
- Intelligent Things – We have already seen drones take flight, appliance that think and homes that are considered Smart Homes, well now expect to see more of these items in 2017. Gartner anticipates a shift from stand-alone intelligent things to a collaborative intelligent things model.
- Digital Twin – A digital twin is a dynamic software model of a physical thing or system that relies on sensor data to understand its state, respond to changes, improve operations and add value. (Source: IT Business Edge)
