Top Five Technologies Trends 2021

 Five Biggest Technology Trends For 2021

`I'm a futurist and business advisor and 

companies understand the major 
biggest technology trends that will
transform the next decade
this was published just before the i help technology trends and i've captured this in my book tech trends in practice in which i look at the 25
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
mega trends that are helping
businesses of all sizes and all shapes
and all industries
cope with this new pandemic situation
and a post corona vized 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 automations 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 
 and the dog will use machine vision to 
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 

detect 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 

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 

been accelerated for 2021.

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 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 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

this

the third trend is the sa service 

or the cloud computing revolution that 

we're experiencing at the moment 

what we've seen again during this 

pandemic is that our 

work process has changed people are now 

working from home 

people are now shopping completely 

differently 

and all of this is enabled by this new 

cloud infrastructure 

if you just think about zoom video 

conference calling was something that 

very few people did before the pandemic 

nowadays everyone is completely used to 

his 

and zoom saw a huge spike in their 

demand 

but because they had the cloud 

infrastructure in the background they 

could very easily 

scale their operations up to then 

deliver the demand that was required so 

my first two tech trends i talked about 

artificial intelligence and robots and automation of vehicles.

All of this is now also available as a 

service so very similar to cloud 

computing i can now 

go to companies like microsoft or google 

or honda and say can you give me a 

robot if you want a security

 robot or 

warehousing robot you can simply 

rent those as a service the company will 

come to you 

program them for you and then you simply 

a bit like an employee 

you have them as long as you need them 

and then you give them back if you don't 

need them anymore 

artificial intelligence is also 

sometimes scary for companies 

we can now rent ai 

as a service so companies like again 

microsoft 

amazon google are offering all of these 

capabilities so if you want to have a 

recommendation 

engine on your website that recommends 

products similarly to what you 

experience 

on amazon amazon now makes this 

available for you 

as a service using the same powerful 

algorithm they're using themselves. 

So this for me is a massive trend that

will carry on in 2021 

the fourth trend is faster networks and 

5g basically this is enabling all the 

previous trends i was talking about 

so we need faster networks to be able to 

work from home 

we need fast networks to access cloud 

computing we need fast networks and 

connectivity to have robots and cars 

driving around 

in the open world and 5g is a key 

enabler to all of this 

because 5g will basically mean that 

we'll have 

powerful fast connectivity faster than 

the 

than the um connectivity we have in our 

offices 

nowadays with fiber optic lines will 

have those 

on the go so it means that robots or 

devices will have 

connectivity to the cloud they can 

stream data analyze data 

and this is enabling everyone to access 

all the services i've just talked about 

not in even in their confined offices or 

homes but anywhere they go 

the last trend being fast tracked for 

2021 

and one i cover in my book is extended 

reality so how we use virtual and 

especially 

augmented reality to change our 

behaviors and how we change our business processes again in my last trend i talked about 5g, 

5g is enabling 

augmented reality and virtual reality 

anywhere 

so at the moment we are still confined 

to if we want to do virtual reality to goggles we need to have strong wi-fi connections fast 

internet speeds 

good computer processing available 5g 

and fast networks will mean we have this 

in a mobile environment 

my facebook has just launched vr glasses 

that look like 

sunglasses so the technology is 

developing very fast 

and this is helping companies to re-imagine their business processes and their 

customer service experiences 

especially what we've learned in the 

pandemic that we might not want to go into a retail shop where we try on glasses where we try on hats where we try on clothes virtual reality and augmented reality makes this possible 

that we do this completely online in a 

virtual world 

we have a virtual avatar that can try on 

our clothes 

we use augmented reality to try on 

glasses 

make up anything we want to try we can 

try before we buy 

without actually interacting with any 

human being and this is a trend that 

will see 

massive acceleration in 2021. All of these technology trends in more detail or have a look on my website where you can find thousands of articles...
