Top Trending Technologies of 2020

by Harry Wil Motivational Speaker

It is amazing how technology has totally changed our lives and the world that we are living in. There was a time when people could never even imagine that there would be something called a “smartphone”. They never imagined calling people sitting in their homes and connecting with them. But guess what? All of this is happening now, everyone owns a smartphone and can connect with anyone, anyplace in the world.

This is just one example of how technology has changed us. The fact is that there is a lot more that is happening around and that is what we are going to talk about today. Today we are going to talk about some of the best and the latest technology trends of this year. It’s important for you to take notes because these technologies are going to change the way you live and do your daily routine chores so do take notes and try to understand them as much as possible.

Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence or AI is currently the talk of the town for all the right reasons. This technology is not only changing our lives, in fact, it is also changing the digital world as it is being incorporated in almost every field and every industry. For those who do not know, AI is built to mimic the human intelligence in order to perform different tasks that include face recognition, decision making and other forms of human interaction. In a nutshell, AI is all about automation and automation is the new buzzword of this century. Automation helps in making our tasks easier and well, it saves us a lot of time so it would not be wrong to say that this emerging technology is no less than a blessing for us.

Machine Learning

Machine learning is more of a subset of artificial intelligence. In simpler words, you can say that machine learning is all about making the computers do those programmed tasks that they are not programmed to do. They learn from analysing the data and discovering different patterns. There are subsets in the domain of machine learning too. These subsets include neural networks, deep learning, and natural language processing too. You can specialize in any of these subsets in a career field because they will continue to grow.

RPA (Robotic Process Automation)

Just like machine learning and artificial intelligence, RPA is another technology that is all about automating jobs and our daily routine tasks. RPA uses a software to automate businesses such as interpreting applications, replying emails and dealing with data. This technology is the best till date as it can automate up-to 45% of the tasks we humans do. All of it includes the work of business managers, CEO's and even the doctors. The best part about this technology is that it is creating new jobs and even altering the existing ones, making them easier and much more efficient.

If you are someone who is interested in IT and if you want to know the technology trends, then RPA is what you should invest your time in. It is one of the best emerging technologies and there are a lot of career opportunities in it. Especially if you are looking for a well-paying job then this is what you should opt for. Because the average salary for an RPA specialist is somewhat around $73000. In a nutshell, it's safe to say that this technology will take you a long way if you master it.

Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality

Virtual reality immerses a user in an environment while augmented reality helps in improving that experience. Usually we see the VR technology being used in games etc but now it is also being used for training purposes. One of the most popular examples of VR is the game Pokémon Go. Both these technologies have quite a lot of potential in training, education, entertainment and even rehab after an injury occurs.

On top of it all, there are quite a lot of major players in VR that include Google, Oculus and other such startups. In simpler words, the demand for VR and AR will only increase with time so if you are thinking of making a career in this field, you should go for it. Only if you have some basic programming knowledge and a forward-thinking mindset, you can easily land on a well-paying job that will pay you thousands of dollars.

Blockchain

If you have been using the internet for a while now, you already know what Blockchain is and why it is the talk of the town. Most people link blockchain with Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies but what they do not know is the fact that this technology can also be used for security. In simpler words, blockchain is the data that you can add to but cannot make any changes to or from it. The term “chain” is all about the fact that it is a chain of data.

You just will not be able to make any changes in the previous blocks once you’ve made them and this is all what makes blockchain technology so secure and safe. When it comes to blockchain, you do not need any third party to validate the transactions or oversee them. It is safe and you won’t have to worry about anything. As far as the scope is concerned, well, it is quite a lot and chances are that this technology will take over the world, especially the internet soon.

Final Thoughts

These are some of the imminent trending technologies of 2020. Everyone is talking about them and most people have even started mastering them and learning the skills. The point is that yes, there’s a lot of scope but on the other hand, it’s imperative for you to learn this technology as soon as possible because this is the only way you’ll be able to cope with the changing trends. All the technologies mentioned above are useful and no matter which one you choose to learn; it is going to help you a lot in the long run.
