Top 5 Technologies to look forward to in 2022
Tech has always been a sector to look forward to in the wake of recent technological advancements. Likewise, 2022 is expected to follow the same tradition in introducing new Technologies and Innovations.
Here are the top 5 technologies you should look forward to in 2022.
1. Artificial Intelligence:
?Artificial Intelligence use in modern technology has been skyrocketing these years, with ever-increasing applications. With the advent of newer and more powerful tools, even small-scale businesses and applications can easily adopt them.
GPT-3 is an open-source natural language task generation model owned by Microsoft. It is undoubtedly the best example to showcase the power of Artificial Intelligence. With its innovation every year, GPT-3 is now more powerful than ever with this year's updates, especially in tasks that involve instructions. We can use it to help code (GitHub Co-pilot), generate complex articles, etc.
2. Metaverse:
It is comprehensible that we are starting to witness the rise of new technology. Facebook now Meta investing heavily into the idea of virtual reality where we could visit with our avatar to enjoy parties, games, and whatnot. Metaverse might feel like a gimmick, but with the experience from last year's pandemic-stricken world, it is safe to say that Metaverse is indeed the future, and Meta (previously Facebook) is leading upfront with its hardware advancements with Oculus and software in development. This year might surprise you with the advancements it brings to the table.
3. Blockchain:
Decentralization is the name of the game right now, and people are starting to witness the power of decentralized data privacy structures that Blockchain brings. We are beholding the rise of Web 3, with most web and mobile applications already on board. The idea is to make the user the owner of their data as it should be by restricting it to the user only instead of centralizing it to big players in Tech.
Not only that, Blockchain offers a lot more than decentralization. It is a gateway to a whole new world of possibilities, the rise of cryptocurrency, Non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and virtual real estate are, to name a few.?
4. Quantum Computing:
Quantum Computers are the pinnacle of modern physics. The sheer computational power quantum computers possess exponentially more than any other supercomputer we have as of now. Google specifically has invested heavily into research and development for Quantum Computers, developing the world's first quantum transistors. Technology for Quantum Computers is new, and it requires major innovations. Nevertheless, it keeps on progressing each year.
5. 5G Networks:
There's been a lot of criticism for 5G lately, but it is, in fact, the future of fast Internet. In 2022, many advancements are expected to make it efficient and sustainable as a network. The main problem faced by 5G is its small wavelength, which makes it less porous, thus limiting its reach. This problem could resolve with denser networks, and better modems, these innovations in networking are expected this year.
In addition to that, this networking prowess has enabled many new technologies that rely on fast internets, such as self-driving cars Internet of Things (IoT) devices.
In a nutshell, technology is always in pursuit of innovation, and it ultimately benefits the consumers. These Top 5 technologies in 2022 are expected to bring major innovations, and we expect incredible growth in these technologies. Most of these technologies will open up the opportunity for more skilled people to step in, making it the right time to hop on board and witness the change these technologies bring.
