Anxiety ridden, businesses brace up for another hopeful year.
The term that is consistent with last and this year is Disruptive Technology.
While we all believe Technology is supposed to aid Business and work in
accordance to it, often the reality proves otherwise.
A disruptive technology is one that displaces an established technology and shakes up the industry or a ground-breaking product that creates a completely new industry. It’s nothing new and always been part of Tech evolution i.e. consider this PC is a disruptive technology to Typewriter, Email is disruptive to letter-writing & Cell phone enabled us to call people anywhere disrupting the telecom industry.
AI: 2017 as experts predict, would be the year AI Robots ran the world. AI would practically
make suggestions from everyday things like which route you take to work to
making major decisions in business. AI would entirely depend and boost
automation of everything it touches. Gartner recently pointed to AI and machine learning as two most disruptive
trends on 2017.
Automation: As
more people embrace devices with AI technology, an increasing amount of manual
processes will become automated. We are sure to witness automation replacing
outdated systems both in-home and in-office for practical uses.
Internet of
Everything: IoT would be Internet of Everything this year, and Hopefully
your watch might talk to your air-conditioning, informing to switch it on full
blast since you are coming home from running on a hot day.
Geared VR:
Samsung went all out this year in marketing its VR, Google and Facebook joined
in the cause by providing significant leaps in this arena. Virtual Reality is
would taking leaps and booming this year as its uses are tangible.
Print Everything: 3D printing made splashes to conventional
printing. One could download and print almost anything from athletic wears,
prosthetic legs, guns and even food. I cannot believe where we have come from squeaky
disturbing sounds of dot matrix printer.
Digital ID: We
have seen the rise of digital money and paying without card or cash in 2016.
2017 would add on to that by banking on validation using Digital
Identification, like credit cards, driver’s license, Social security Number /
Fins. I can only imagine someday everything about our identity would be online
and digital.
Conclusion : We have witnessed paradigm shift in all of these disruptive
technologies. This would be disruptive in the way we build products and also
business as the new trends would command its usability into everything that we
make today. Companies should be more open about how business and technology
should be and venture into connected-ness, automation & intelligence.
Software development is already evolving
rapidly to provide for all the needs from these disruptive technologies and
would continue to be so. I believe it’s
time we depend on each other more and It would be ideal strategy for companies
to collaborate to provide innovative services and products for mutual benefits.
