The 5 Biggest Technology Trends In 2021 

what are the five biggest technology trends for 2021 

I'm a Software Engineer and Business advisor and I help companies understand the major technology trends and I've captured this in my book tech trends in practice in which I look at the 25 biggest technology trends. that will transform the next decade this was published just before the pandemic hit and what surprised me is that many of the tech trends. I am talking about here have now been fast-tracked and accelerated by companies so what I want to do with this video is to look at the five megatrends that are helping businesses of all sizes and all shapes and all industries cope with this new pandemic situation and a post colonized world the first trend that has been accelerated for 2021 is artificial intelligence and big data we now live in a world we need to make more real-time decisions companies realize that even if they had lots of data the data they had pre-pandemic is no longer relevant things are changing so fast so companies are now looking at streaming analytics analyzing real-time data predicting only based on the last 90 days instead of the last 10 years, this is this has changed our world and it is bringing in capabilities from artificial intelligence as well so we can now automate lots of our data analysis companies are offering automated data warehouses that can look for trends themselves they can highlight things that are happening so I'm seeing this in retail where big retailers are learning from their systems by themselves saying where the systems will tell them these trends and cookies are going up alcohol sales are going up things are going down here and you can react to this in real-time ai also helps companies to now address the economic reality of recessions where they want to streamline business processes artificial intelligence is the most powerful technology humankind has ever had access to and what ai can nowadays do is can it can read for us it can speak it can write it can um see analyze things in terms of videos and photographs it can hear and all of this is completely transforming organizations and is helping them to re-imagine and streamline their business processes the second technology trend for 2021 is robotics vehicle automation and drones what many companies now realizing is that there has been a vast economic cost to the pandemic and the world economies are shrinking so we're now facing a recession and organizations need to really think about how they can automate and streamline and improve their business operations and robots and automated vehicles and drones can help with all of this also what we've learned during the pandemic is that companies wanted to take people out of unnecessary necessary steps in their business processes or along their supply chains so companies like Amazon are doing this very effectively where they're trying to automate as much of their warehouses as possible but they're also taking this across and along their supply chain where they're saying oh how can we potentially use drones to deliver parcels where i live in Milton Keynes we have already got robots that are delivering my grocery shopping to my door ford has developed a robotic postman that can actually, deliver parcels even upstairs to people's houses there are lots of ways companies are reimagining the entire supply chain so companies like ups are using self-driving trucks um companies like Daimler are already running self-driving trucks um companies like Royce Royce together with google are building self floating ships that can autonomously steer the oceans so all our business processes are currently being automated and also they're helping us with this pandemic so in Singapore the Boston dynamics robotic dock called spot is now used to look at how people adhere to social distancing in their parks and the dog will use machine vision to detect.

The Biggest Technology Trends In 2021 

How far people are passed apart if they find a cluster of large people it will walk up to them and tell them that they are not allowed to do this or organizations like Heathrow airport is now using sanitizing robots that operate all night long to sanitize the entire terminal for the next day of operations so this is a major trend I talk about all of these trends in my book but this is one that has definitely been accelerated for 2021.
