Keeping up with technology isn’t as easy as it used to be. With technological innovations taking place every day, there is a constant influx of new information to keep up with. If you’re a techno-junkie however, chances are that you’ll always be interested in the latest technology news.
Here is some technology news for 2016 to keep an eye on:
According to Venturebeat.com, “We’re about to see a surge in ‘autonomous devices’ – devices that are aware of the environment, their state and incurring data and that have the ability to learn and make decisions on their own.”
Experts say that Artificial Intelligence is progressing faster than widely thought. It’s likely that we’ll be seeing more self-parking cars in the near future.
Wearable technology isn’t going anywhere either. 2016 will be the year in which wearable devices will become much more popular after whetting the appetites of tech lovers in 2015.
Another way in which devices are set to change 2016, is by being more prevalent in the workplace. The Bring Your Own device trend, where employees are bringing smartphones, iPads or laptops to the workplace will be popular in 2016. This should also be interesting to monitor, with the trends this year likely to indicate that companies will be more cautious in terms of data privacy. Companies are expected to be more cautious with the information provided by its users.
Applications talking to several devices at the same time will be a favoured trend in 2016. Having an app to control the lighting in your house, or to control your security features isn’t such a novel idea anymore. Expect a surge in popularity of connected devices this year.
Virtual Reality products will be used for scientific studies, virtual tours and even education.
2016 is expected to be quite an exciting year for technology.
