There are many tech innovations that will take the world by storm in the next few years, and in this article, I will briefly discuss 5G and Blockchain, Cloud services, and Cryptocurrency. These are all hot topics for the next few years, so make sure to stay tuned for future articles! Listed below are some of the most important tech innovations for 2022. Check out our full list of predictions for these emerging technologies to help you get ready for the coming year.
Cloud services
While cloud computing has become a key component of partner business over the last decade, the scope of cloud services will grow in 2022. No longer will cloud just mean IaaS and public clouds. Accenture’s cloud arm, Cloud First, is building a vision of cloud based on automatically managed, configurable infrastructure that extends public clouds to the edge. In 2022, the scope of cloud services will grow to include mobile applications, data centers, and smart cities.
5G
With 5G, the mobile network will undergo a massive evolution. It will be deployed gradually, in a step-by-step manner, and touch the consumer in secondary applications. Although 5G has been over-hyped and met with public resistance, the technology will begin to make its presence felt in 2022. By 2022, the 5G infrastructure will be widely available and support a number of use cases.
Cryptocurrency
In the year 2022, we can expect cryptocurrency to go from a buzzword to an actual form of investment. Since the Covid-19 scandal, the price of bitcoin has been on a roller coaster ride. Meanwhile, a new generation of cryptocurrencies has entered the market. In 2022, Ethereum could replace Bitcoin as the top cryptocurrency. It will also become more widely accepted as a legal method of payment.
Blockchain
Blockchain technology has caught the attention of large tech companies, and is expected to continue to grow and evolve. By 2022, governments are expected to adopt diverse Blockchain facilities to help improve supply chains and inventory capabilities. Already, IBM and Walmart have partnered to develop Blockchain-based solutions that will help them track food products. With the growing popularity of cryptocurrency, governments will want to use Blockchain technology to improve their systems. In the meantime, other applications are expected to follow.
AI
In 2018, AI and tech innovations were on the forefront of headlines. The most discussed topics included low-code/no-code platforms, architectural approaches to analytics, supply chain disruption, labor shortages, personalization, and data protection. This year, AI will be even more important as CIOs assess its applicability to their business. But what will the future hold for these technologies? What will make them so powerful?
3D printing
While the global economy is suffering from the economic crisis, 3D printing will continue to grow. The rise of the Green movement and demand for environmentally-friendly products is making supply chains more complex. 3D printing will help businesses find new ways to produce goods without producing excess waste or weight. This will encourage local production and reduce a company’s carbon footprint. This technology will have a variety of applications, including medical devices, consumer goods, industrial parts, and more.
Robotics
There are several reasons why robots are the most anticipated tech innovations of 2022. A significant number of businesses already have automated processes, and others have begun using robotic exosuits to help warehouse workers with lifting and stabilizing tasks. Automation of the supply chain is helping to fill the gaps that existed in the last few decades. Furthermore, automated solutions will support assembly lines. In the future, robots will interact smarter with each other, and their autonomy will increase, with minimal human involvement.
Cybersecurity mesh
As technology becomes more advanced, so does the need for a more robust security system. This new approach to cyber defense, cybersecurity mesh, is a distributed framework that secretly secures devices. This method of security addresses many of the shortcomings of traditional security systems. For this reason, it is a more promising technology to look for in 2022. It has the potential to revolutionize the way we secure our digital assets.
