The next decade will see the emergence of 3D integrated circuits (ICs) as a replacement for DRAM and printed circuit boards in IT products. This paradigm shift will cause tectonic changes in architectures and software. In computing, multicore will be everywhere, and silicon photonics will tackle latency, bandwidth, and energy challenges in high-end systems. And as the Internet continues to evolve, the network stack will continue to drive research and development efforts.
5G Networks Will Cover 40% Of The World By 2024
According to a recent study by Ericsson, 5G networks will be available to 40 percent of the world’s population by 2024. The report further says that by this time, there will be over 1.5 billion 5G subscribers, with an average monthly data consumption of 21GB. These new networks will offer enhanced speed, responsiveness, and greater capacity. In addition, they will make it possible for remote operation of vehicles.
Machine Learning
In 2022, machine learning will be one of the most popular technology innovations, according to a new report. The report, called “Machine Learning as a Technology Innovation in 2022,” is part of Gartner’s annual IT Symposium/Xpo Americas, taking place virtually through Thursday.
Blockchain Technology
Despite the widespread use of the Internet, most professionals haven’t heard of Blockchain technology yet, but 64% of them anticipate it will impact their industry. Among the most promising areas where Blockchain can make a difference is cybersecurity. Businesses of all sizes are facing an ongoing problem of data tampering. Blockchain technology offers the solution to this issue by enabling participants to verify the authenticity of files.
AR Technology
In a recent report, MobiDev experts predict that AR navigation will become a reality in 2022. These advancements will enable users to see AR content in large indoor locations. Apple and Android devices will both be capable of rendering realistic 3D models directly through the web. Web-based machine learning models and SDKs will continue to mature and provide a more immersive experience through the browser for niche applications. The year 2022 will also bring new technologies to the AR industry.
VR Technology
VR technology is set to become ubiquitous in a variety of industries. The most common application for VR is gaming, which tends to serve as a testing ground for the technology. However, this will change as the technology makes its way into other industries. In 2022, the development of streaming VR solutions will lower the entry barrier for a variety of businesses. Here are some of the main areas that VR will likely become prevalent in.
Gene Editing
Using CRISPR, a molecular system, scientists are working to understand the human genome and intervene in its production to prevent or treat genetic disorders. Already, CRISPR has been celebrated for its use in developing mosquitoes to prevent malaria and engineering agricultural systems to withstand climate change. Some of the most promising applications of CRISPR are in the treatment of cancer and rare protein disorders, such as transthyretin amyloidosis.
In-Game Purchases
In-game purchases will become ubiquitous in 2022, resulting in a complete digital ecosystem. These purchases allow real-world consumers to buy in-game products that are otherwise unavailable. Some games will even offer in-game currency, allowing players to make real-world purchases in-game. But these transactions may not be entirely ethical or responsible. In-game purchases can also lead to environmental damage, so advertisers need to be aware of the risks associated with them.
