Disruptive technology trends determine the way the new year will be shaped. They will accelerate and transform many industries at a rapid pace throughout the year. They will shape the world and the future and will be present on the horizon of business owners and investors alike.
The intelligent digital mesh is going to include
interconnected humans, robots, devices, content, and services all driven
by digital transformation. Disruptive technology trends are going to
propel the future where technology innovation leaders must evolve and
change at the same pace of the trends they must embrace. Or, they could
be left behind and suffer a slowly mass extinction.
Perhaps the obvious technology to watch closely in 2019
--before we can move on to anything else-- will be 5G.5G is a necessary technology. Without 5G technology, none of the technologies mentioned below would be possible. Autonomous vehicles, drones, the Internet of Things, and supercomputers could not be possible without 5G networks.
5G technology is going to improve processing speeds by more
than 10 times in 2019. This is the technology that can make possible,
for instance, the much expected remote surgery in rural areas.
Artificial Intelligence surgery might sound too futuristic
to some. However, robot surgeons powered by AI are bringing new
innovations and accuracy to the operating room.
These technologies are worth to watch closely in 2019.
Machine Learning will advance Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Artificial Intelligence (AI) innovations will continue to bring scientific breakthroughs, in part, thanks to the vast amounts of data that new technologies have been collecting and is now available.
In 2019, Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence will
be embedded in the business platform creating and enabling smart
business operations.
In the Artificial Intelligence space, China is going to
leave the U.S. behind, emerging as a leader in AI developments and
applications.
Advances in Machine Learning technology and algorithm
training will result in new and more advanced AI. Autonomous vehicles
and robotics are the two industries that will see the most rapid
developments during 2019.
In 2019, there is going to be a convergence of Artificial
Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Deep Learning in business
applications. As AI and learning technologies get to work together in
order to reach better results, AI will have greater accuracy at all
levels.
So far, humans have only developed Narrow Artificial
Intelligence. A superior AI, though, is in the future of mankind. How
far should humans go with AI development is still a subject of
controversy. Is this really going to be mankind's last invention?
Quantum Computing (Supercomputing)
Quantum Computing, still an emerging technology, is one of
the most fascinating things researchers, organizations, and governments
have been working on in this century so far. The race toward building
the first fully-functional, fully-working quantum computer (also called
supercomputer) is on.
With its impressive computational power quantum computers
will most like be a cloud service in the near future rather than
on-premise machines. IBM is already offering cloud-based quantum
computing services.
The first quantum computer is going to have a significant
advantage over the others. In 2019, the competence to achieve
supercomputer supremacy will intensify. As a consequence, the last mile
in the race will remain mostly secretive, for obvious reasons.
Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR)
Advances in Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality
(VR), and Mixed Reality (MR), all of which can be summarized in R+,
will continue to be at the forefront of attention during 2019 with some
fascinating new practical applications for industries.
R+, which once was only found in video gaming has been
quickly advancing to become a useful tool in industries such as
engineering design, manufacturing, healthcare, space exploration, and
many others.
In 2019, Virtual Reality is going to open up to innovative
industrial applications that will change how people work and collaborate
across geographies.
Augmented Reality has been rising in the Virtual Reality's
shadow for the past year. But in 2019, AR is set to grow exponentially.
Global Internet of Things (IoT) security breach
Hackers never sleep. Everyone in the cybersecurity industry knows that. As long as you connect something to the Internet it immediately becomes vulnerable.
In the past years, we have seen how hackers have turned to
unsecure Internet of Things (IoT) devices to create an extensive botnet
which then they could use to push enough traffic to take down Dyn, the
DNS provider. As a way to refresh your memory, here is how the DDoS attack using IoT devices happened in 2016.
A quick look at the news tells us that not much has been
learned. However, the great number of security breaches occurred during
2018 should serve as an alert of what can happen at a global scale in
2019 if organizations don't take the necessary precautions.
Analyst firm Gartner forecasts
that 20.4 billion connected things will be in use worldwide by 2020.
And with the rise of autonomous things --I will call this the Internet
of Autonomous Things (IoAT)-- there is a good chance that many of these
things will show a certain level of weak security.
In 2019, it will be paramount for IoT manufacturers and all
of their supply chain to dramatically increase the security in all the
products that come out to market. It can be a connected refrigerator, a
robot, a drone, a vehicle, or a health tracker.
Manufacturers must implement a level of security that keeps
hackers at bay. Otherwise, there is a good chance we are going to
witness a global IoT security breach in 2019.
Blockchain technology
In 2019, for the delight of organizations, Blockchain is
going to bring the first enterprise applications in active use. The most
innovative corporations will start using Blockchain as a way to improve
collaboration.
Blockchain in 2019 comes out cryptocurrency transaction and
becomes an integral part of the business platform. Blockchain enables
transactional transparency across a variety of business functions. In
2019, Blockchain will be present in many industries at the core of
business innovation.
