2016 is about to pass, the online version of Forbes magazine in the United States recently wrote, listed in the 7 major technology predictions not to be missed in 2017, involving VR, smart devices, blockchain and so on. The following are the original contents: Big Data, Internet of Things, Virtual Reality, Industry 4.0, which are the major growth and innovation areas in 2016. It is expected that these trends will continue next year and may even exceed the current level.
Many of these technologies are likely to enter the mainstream in 2017, instead of being patented by large financial companies, and they are no longer the unique skills of executives who are proficient in technology. The technology delivered as a service through the cloud computing platform has achieved strong growth, and hardware has also made progress, with many inexpensive sensors and displays. This is all about the popularity of data-driven businesses.
Here are some key predictions for next year. Companies that are eager to stay at the forefront of the trend will definitely want to explore all the opportunities contained in these trends.
1, smart devices are really smart
Thanks to the development of machine learning technology, infrastructure such as watches, home appliances, entertainment equipment and even electric lights and wires will become true smart devices. Although we have used "smart phones" for almost 10 years, in fact, their more precise name should be "multitasking phones."
Integrating artificial intelligence technologies such as Siri and OK Google into the operating system is the first step in making these devices truly intelligent. There will definitely be more similar trends next year. It is expected that the automated personal assistant function will be more forward-looking and predictive, and Internet products such as smart home lights, safety equipment and air conditioners will be more in line with our expectations.
2. Increased software expenses and reduced hardware expenses
As more and more functions can be acquired through cloud computing technology in a service manner, the enterprise's infrastructure investment is gradually shifted to software. At the same time, hardware spending is declining – on the one hand because more and more services are giving up on localized deployment models, and on the other hand because cheap, standardized hardware products such as servers and storage are favored and expensive. Custom hardware is gradually being abandoned. This trend will continue into 2017. Market research firm Gartner analysts estimate that overall IT spending next year will reach $3.5 trillion.
3. The time we spend in the real world will decrease, and the time spent in the virtual world will increase.
As many manufacturers first introduced eye mask products with advanced technology to the mass market, many people tried virtual reality technology for the first time this year. Although the virtual reality industry has been popular in the industry a few years ago, it is mainly limited to custom systems and software developed by large companies with adequate budgets.
With the release of mass market virtual reality devices and the increasing number of open source software allowing users to design their own worlds, the tentacles of virtual reality and augmented reality are expected to expand significantly in 2017.
4. The mystery of unstructured data is unveiled
Most of the data in most organizations is unstructured, such as logs, emails, meeting minutes, video, audio data, and more. Although these data are very analytical, it is difficult to produce a unified format of data, so that it can directly quantify it.
With the advancement of image recognition, perceptual analysis and natural language processing, this information has gradually unveiled, and the mining of these data will gradually become an important business in 2017. For example, many organizations will have the opportunity to automate the analysis of thousands of hours of customer service calls, and even answer questions such as “want to provide customer satisfaction, what needs to be improved?â€.
The price of this technology is declining and can be obtained through cloud computing service providers, thereby increasing its penetration rate among SMEs – after summing up these needs, the proportion in our economy is even larger than that of large companies. high.
5. The practicality of blockchain technology is demonstrated
Blockchain is a distributed general ledger technology that was originally used for bitcoin, but is expected to revolutionize online payments and contracts in the future. Gartner expects to see blockchain companies with valuations over $10 billion by 2020.
Some large banks have begun to take action around blockchain technology to start investing. Blockchain technology should be seen in IoT devices in 2017. This automated smart ledger is ideal for tracking and recording activities in a network of massive devices.
6. More and more organizations use the "digital twin model"
In 2017, the term “Digital Twin†will become more and more popular. The root of this idea is that with the increase in computing power, coupled with lower sensor prices and higher accuracy, most things can be simulated on a computer with high precision.
Businesses are no exception. They are developing digital twin models that use data-driven methods to simulate all processes and provide a testing ground for companies to experiment with changes. The data used to build this model can also be used to build advanced predictive analytics systems to understand the likely outcomes of various process changes in a safe simulation environment.
7. We will adapt to life in both places.
Telepresence combines virtual reality/augmented reality with the concept of a digital twin model, allowing one to be in the same place. UAVs and remote control devices can help us expand our reach beyond the radius that our hands and feet can touch.
Remote surgery is possible with surgical robots, and unmanned or unmanned devices can help us get in touch with places that were previously difficult to reach, or speed up our exploration. The easiest way to use it is with teleconferencing, which happens in virtual environments such as Skype, but it can bring people an immersive experience through technology. There are also more and more advanced applications, including helping us to safely explore outer space and the underwater world in an immersive way.
One thing that is certain in 2017 is that technological innovation will still create enormous opportunities and daunting challenges for all companies on the planet.
