When it comes to technological trends it is hard to keep up with them as they change so rapidly thanks to advancement in science. But here are five trends that you need to keep an eye out for in 2024.
Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence or AI for short has been the talk of the town for some time now and we are here to tell you that it will stay that way for a long time. With rapid advancements in AI, it is of no shock to anyone that AI will be a top technology trend in the foreseeable future.
From the software industry to finance and healthcare to manufacturing, AI is slowly making its way into all the big areas of our lives. Right now, our interactions with AI may be limited to computers, but it won’t be long before we will have AI-operated robots and machines assisting us in day-to-day tasks.
Quantum Computing
It goes without saying that with advancement in AI and everything related to it, we will need even faster computers and Quantum computing seems to be the way. Long been in the works, Quantum computing is now a reality and seeing substantial growth in various sectors.
Thanks to Quantum computing we will soon be able to make significant strides in the field of medicine and health care. It will also greatly enhance our capabilities in space research and meteorology, and not to mention how helpful it will be in various areas of scientific research.
Augmented Reality
The launch of Apple Vision Pro has quickly launched Augmented reality into the limelight. But it has been in the works for some time now and we have seen this in various forms like the Meta Quest headset and MSG sphere in Las Vegas.
But it is not only the entertainment sector where augmented reality is making progress, we are also seeing it being used as a training device for healthcare professionals and law enforcement. Combined with AI, augmented reality will soon play a huge role in our daily lives.
Autonomous Devices
When we think of autonomous devices, our mind quickly goes to self-driving cars which is just one side of them. The manufacturing process in many industries is becoming autonomous at an exponential rate and is greatly increasing production efficiency.
Drones are another area where autonomous device technology has seen growth, some for the good like drones delivering packages, and some not so much, like loitering drones being used in warfare.
Internet of Things
IoT or the Internet of Things has been a fascination of researchers for a long time, where everything is interconnected. Work on IoT has been done since the invention of the internet and we have seen significant results in the field.
However, it is the invention of AI and smart devices that has breathed new life into the Internet of Things. One of the major areas where we have seen clear advancement is the manufacturing industry where everything is becoming increasingly interconnected.
