New technology is not good or evil in and of itself. It’s all about how people choose to use it.
Technology is now on the cusp of moving beyond augmentation that replaces a human capability and into augmentation that creates superhuman capabilities. Technology will continue to grow as we enter a new decade. So make sure you stay on top of the growing technology trends for yourself and your business. We are expected to see major advances in space travel, quantum computing, and a substantial increase in technology proliferation in our daily lives which was unheard of ten years ago.
Today, there are several innovation patterns on the market and ever-increasing future trends. Business is booming in this twenty-first century as a combination of technological and social innovations come together. Here are some of the technological trends that every business needs to be ready for in 2020:
Facial Recognition Technology
Facial recognition technology uses a software application to create a template by analyzing images of human faces in order to identify or verify a person’s identity. Today it’s considered to be the most natural of all biometric measurements. And for good reason – we recognize ourselves not by looking at our fingerprints or irises, for example, but by looking at our faces. Biometrics are used to identify and authenticate a person using a set of recognizable and verifiable data unique and specific to that person. We saw the value in using facial recognition technology with our mobile app to make it more of a secure environment for our users. We know that this is a way to verify that we can keep our eco-system free of users we don’t want.
5G Technology
The introduction of 5G is one of the most fascinating future trends that businesses will need to embrace in 2020. 5G networks are already beginning to appear and are planned to be launched globally by 2020, working in conjunction with current 3G and 4G technologies to provide quicker online connections wherever you are. 5G will deliver networks that are multitudes faster than current connections, incorporating cutting-edge network technology and the latest research, with average download speeds of about 1GBps predicted to be the standard soon.
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
AI is playing into the greater trend of automation, but its achievements are sufficient to justify its own discourse. For many years now, this innovation has made it to the top of the lists of technology developments and will likely continue to take one of the top spots in the decade to come.
Many businesses have begun to explore how AI can be used to improve customer experience and streamline business operations. This will begin in 2020, and while people are becoming more and more used to working alongside AIs, developing and deploying our AI-based systems will remain an expensive proposition for most businesses. Due to this reason, many of the AI applications will continue to be made by service system providers, enabling us to simply feed into our data and pay for the algorithms as we use them.
Voice Technology
Voice commands and visual assistants will be even more effective in our daily lives in the near future, muddling the distinction between the interface of human technology. As the underlying technology of these industries advances (AI, speech recognition, machine learning), it will only be pushed into greater technical significance. Businesses need to be aligned with the latest voice technology trends in 2020.
One of the fascinating parts of voice technology is Neuro-linguistic Programming or NLP. This programming environment, called NLP, would make it possible for machines and systems to understand the true meaning of speech.
Social Media Marketing
Social media is a trend that dominates the world today. The way we purchase, sell, consume, and communicate with brands, individuals, and goods has changed. For growth and profit, social media marketing is an industry that does not slow down. As advertising in social media is always evolving; we can expect a further boom in 2020. This is why we here at TechMae are excited to be apart of this tech space. We understand the power of having your own network and that’s why we created this space for women globally.
The international survey of internet, media and smartphone adoption, study shows us that every day in 2018, 1 million people joined social networks. There are currently 2.82 billion users of social networks in the world, which is expected to increase by 14 million by next year. This implies the significance of social media marketing for businesses to grow exponentially.
There will be other great technological advances coming into the year 2020 and beyond, but one thing to make sure is that your company is staying on top of the trends.
If you are a woman and love to talk tech and other things, make sure you download our new app. The TechMae mobile app was created to give all women in all industries a community to discuss in real-time. The first ever app of its kind to use facial recognition technology to verify every user that signs onto our platform.
