7 Technology Trends That Will Dominate 2020

Information Technology Blog - - 7 Technology Trends That Will Dominate 2020 - Information Technology Blog

Technology has been developing at a much faster rate than ever before. What is new today may become old news tomorrow. The digital age has ushered many advancements in information technology, medicine, education, and even how people communicate.

The 21st century has brought in the birth of smartphones, smart laptops, and other “smart” devices. Artificial intelligence has become more intelligent, with supercomputers on the verge of replacing human workers to automate tasks. These changes have been more efficient, reliable, and even cost-effective for small and large scale businesses alike.

The expansion of blockchain technology

Starting in 2020, more companies will start to use the application program interfaces with blockchain technology. This involves the integration of many databases and computer applications. With the use of this technology, it will be easier to track information in manufactured goods, or accessing information from a remote source through the use of a mobile device. When this is implemented, many businesses and even private individuals will benefit from the real-time insights provided by this interconnection of databases. The blockchain will also ensure that these valuable data cannot be hacked and can therefore secure transaction between providers and consumers.

Increased efficiency of mobile payments

With actual cash gradually decreasing as more businesses take their matters online, there is an increased interest in improving the efficiency of mobile payments. These include payment through credit cards, voice ID, fingerprint scanning, or use of facial features to assist in the speed of online checkout. Additionally, this feature can help in identity theft since unique features such as voice, fingerprint or facial features cannot be replicated. Mobile payments can be done in as easy as one scan, one tap, or one click.

Proliferation of cryptocurrency

With the continuous rise of Bitcoin, the most popular form of cryptocurrency, more investors have somehow seen a goldmine in this form of digital ‘cash’. Cryptocurrency will continue to rise as more people become aware of its potential, and it is predicted that many major retailers will create digital currencies of their own in 2018, 2019. The benefits are endless: a decentralized system, secure payments, and elimination of double-spending. Cryptocurrencies are only about to get bigger this year.

Virtual Reality in other industries aside from gaming

With the invention of Virtual Reality (VR) Gears like a discounted Oculus Quest, it has become possible for people to step into worlds that they have never stepped on before, through the help of technology.  While 2017 brought the VR’s use through gaming, it is fascinating that augmented reality can be also be used to simulate actual situations. This technology can help in training people in the medical field, as first responders, or even help architects to design and build infrastructures through the help of virtual reality. The possibilities of this technology are endless.

Automation of tasks through bots

Another industry that will be affected by technology is Customer Support. Some customer service representatives in major business outlets are now automated using bots. Through the help of voice recognition, recording, and speech-to-text commands, it is possible to have a survey, make a short interview, place an order, or get information through a system of automated options and messages. This is very helpful for business as automated responses are cost-efficient and reliable.

5G Connectivity for mobile devices

With Samsung and Verizon exploring the possibility of greater bandwidth for wireless connections, 4G will likely phase out eventually. More nodes and improved sensors will be installed to help users find connection even in the remotest of areas. With communication getting easier and connecting with people through technology as the norm, 2018, 2019 will provide more conveniences through the assimilation of 5G.

Digital assistants for the home and office

Voice-activated digital assistants such as Siri and Google has helped make tasks easier for us. In finding directions, searching recipes, typing a message and even searching for mundane information, people have witnessed the benefits of these digital assistants. Recently, Amazon also released their own digital assistants through Alexa, and Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook made his own smart home assistant called Jarvis. These digital assistants will continue to do more for us in 2018, 2019 such as turn off furniture, play music, and set timers on ovens.

Whether we notice it or not, the technology advances continuously shape our society and how we go about in our daily lives. 2018, 2019 is another year for technology trends to thrive.

9 VCs in Madrid and Barcelona discuss the COVID-19 era and look to the future

Spain’s startup ecosystem has two main hubs: Madrid and Barcelona. Most observers place Barcelona first and Madrid second, but the gap appears to close every year. Barcelona has benefitted from attracting expats in search of sun, beach and lifestyle who tend to produce more internationally minded startups. Madrid’s startups have predominantly been Spain or Latin America-focused, but have become increasingly international in nature. Although not part of this survey, we expect Valencia to join next year, as city authorities have been going all-out to attract entrepreneurs and investors. The overall Spanish ecosystem is generally less mature than those in the U.K., France, Sweden and Germany, but it has been improving at a fast clip. More recently, entrepreneurs in Spain have moved away from emulating success in pursuit of innovative technologies. Following the financial crisis, the Spanish government supported the creation of startups with the launch of FOND-ICO GLOBAL, a €1.5 billi...
