Compared with our ancestors, we stand far away from them in using > different technologies for our day-to-day works. > So many technologies are developed in the past couple of years that have > revolutionized our lives, and it's impossible to list each of them. Though > technology changes fast with time, we can observe the trends in which it > changes. Last year, 2016 had bought so many fresh innovative ideas and > creations towards automation and integration etc., and this year 2017 is > expected to continue the similar kind of trend. > In this article, we are going to discuss some of the notable trends for this > year, which will make us look beyond the horizon. > Gartner's 2016 Hype Cycle for emerging technologies have identified different > technologies that will be trending this year. The cycle illustrates the fact > how technology innovations are redefining the relations between the customer > and marketer. > This year, Gartner has identified Blockchains, Connected Homes, Cognitive > Expert Advisors, Machine Learning, Software-defined Security etc. as the > overarching technology trends, which have the potential of reshaping the > business models and offering enterprises the definite route to emerging > markets and ecosystems. > #1. Blockchain > Popularly known as 'Distributed Ledger Technology' for both financial and > non-financial transactions, is one of the mystifying concepts that > technologists could only understand to the fullest. Various advancements in > blockchain have helped many people and more businesses in 2016, to experience > its potential in banking and finance industry. This year, it is anticipated > that blockchain technology would go beyond just banking sector, helping the > start-ups and established businesses to address the market needs with > different application offerings. > #2. Internet of Things & Smart Home Tech > With the advent of IoT, we are already eyeing the world of inter-connected > things, aren't we? Our dreams of living in smart homes are met to a certain > extent in 2016. So, what is stopping us from fulfilling our dreams of living > in smart connected homes? > Well, the fact is that the market is full of abundant individual appliances > and apps, but only a little amount of solutions integrate them into a single, > inclusive user experience. It is anticipated that 2017 will notice this trend > to undergo a big step towards fulfilling our dreams. > #3. Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning > In the recent times, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning have taken > the entire world by storm with its amazing inventions and innovative > technologies. By observing the on-going advancements in this field, it will > be no longer an imagination to experience the world where robots and machine > will dominate the society. > Last year, we have witnessed the rise of ML algorithms on almost all major > e-commerce portals and its associated mobile apps, which is further expected > to spread across on all social networking platforms, dating websites, and > matrimonial websites in 2017. > #4. Software-defined Security > In 2016, we have observed a significant growth for increased server security. > Many organizations have started recognizing the significance of cybersecurity > to enable their move of emerging as digital businesses. The growth of > cloud-based infrastructure is causing a great demand for managing > unstructured data, and moreover, the lack of technical expertise and threat > to data security, are the key factors hindering the substantial growth of > software-defined security market this year. > #5. Automation > Automation will be the mainstay throughout 2017, the coming years will be > transformative for IT industry, enabling the automation of human performed > tasks. When Machine Learning is combined with automation, > [*f9zone*|https://complextime.com/f95zone-what-is-it-and-why-use-it/] the > marketers are likely to witness wide business opportunities with enriched > market results. > #6. Augmented Reality (AR) & Virtual Reality (VR) > AR and VR transform the way users interact with each other and software > systems. The year 2016 has experienced path-breaking steps in AR and VR > technology. > With the launch of Oculus Rift, the market had received an overwhelming > response from the users, making way to a plethora of VR-based apps and games. > Further, when Pokémon Go was released, it has completely re-defined the > definition of gaming experience. It was one of the most profitable and > downloaded the mobile application of 2016. > The response AR and VR technology has received last year was farfetched, and > it forecasts that the world is ready to adopt this trend to the next levels > in 2017. > #7.
