2020 is the year the world is likely to experience transformational changes in the way technology affects our lives. Technology will influence every sphere of our lives; from how punters wager on online casinos, to health and farming. Below, we discuss the top 10 technology trends that will impact our lives this year.

Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become part of our day to day life. The technology is powered by the emergence of a device network, including Alexa, Siri, and Google Assistant. AI will likely have a breakout moment in manufacturing, scaled by emotion recognition and computer vision. With increased investments in the AI field, there will be enhanced solutions generated by both startups and multinationals.

Internet of Things (Iot)

2020 will also experience a practical deployment of the Internet of Things. With the continued spread of the 5G network, the number of connected devices and typical IoT applications will scale up. In the recent past, Amazon launched Amazon Go, a system that integrates IoT and machine vision that enables customers to shop without manual check out. More sensors and vision technologies will be used hence triggering the emergence of more scalable IoT solutions.

Edge Computing Processing Power

In 2020, there will be an increased demand for edge computing processing power. The emergence of better sensors and larger AI models that power several new applications will push the need for higher performance from edge computing hardware. The need to surmise more data and make decisions without sending it to the cloud will grow. Chip manufacturers are developing architectures that can handle this increased demand. They have come up with powerful AI chips, also known as neuromorphic chips that mimic the structure of the brain and process top AI algorithms.

Commercialization of Quantum Computing Usage In Mass Scale

2020 is expected to initiate the quantum computing era. Quantum computing will be interested in the biggest problems in the industry, like health care and energy, as the number of data increases. There will be a need for the capability to handle big data for cancer treatment, nuclear energy control, as well as DNA analysis. Some renowned corporations in the world have already moved into quantum computing. They include IBM, Google, Intel, Microsoft, and Alibaba. It is predicted that the technology will grow as it becomes easier to use with platforms like Amazon Web Services as the year progresses.

Evolution of Aerospace Technologies

The private sector will drive humanity to space in 2020. Technological advances in the aerospace industry had slowed, but some private companies are making advances in the industry. Companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin are making advancements. Deployment of the internet and Starlink broadband Internet technology. The competition between China and the US on the implementation of the 5G network will drive its spread quickly in 2020. SpaceX will also take the world by storm with the Starlink Broadband business. It will be able to provide higher speed internet from 2020.

Evolution of Health Care

Digital healthcare has experienced more innovations under the theme of prevention. Companies will increasingly use genomic analysis to learn diseases and come up with prevention methods. Advancement in AI will also improve the quality of treatment. Medical images will be diagnosed using AI.

Evolution in Agriculture

In 2020 computer vision will be used to monitor crops. The industry will be driven by computer vision, big data, and AI. Robots working in the farms harvesting plants and fruits will be more prevalent.

Autonomous Driving Technology

Autonomous driving technology is evolving towards level 5. Technology advancements are being made to understand the specific road conditions fully. The US and China put blockchain to practical use. In 2020, big institutions will introduce blockchain technology to curb large-scale leakage of information and internet fraud.
