A perfect example of which is the internet. From <a href=\"https:\/\/www.livescience.com\/20727-internet-history.html\" rel=\"nofollow\">ARPANET to the World Wide Web<\/a>, it has come a very long way. It became the foundation of so many other technological advancements and until now, improvements upon it is being made.<\/p>\n<p>Just like the internet, there are other technological developments that have persisted for some time now; though not as old. But most of the time, they are quick to change. In order to help you keep up with the 2019 IT trends, we\u2019ve listed some of them.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"ai\" class=\"bg-title\">1. Artificial Intelligence<\/h3>\n<p>Artificial Intelligence, hyped as it may be years ago, is still a growing trend. It has already shown lots of functionalities that people 10 years ago would think are only possible in sci-fi movies. It\u2019s not, however, showing any sign of momentum halt at all. New applications for personal, professional, and business purposes are being discovered for AI every day. If it\u2019s the future of AI we\u2019re talking about, the perfect description for that would be \u201climitless potential.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not a surprising turn of events, however. That\u2019s because the very notion of machines thinking and behaving like human beings are revolutionary. From the first AI program in the 1950s, this field has come a long way. People of today are exposed to artificial intelligence on a daily basis; a testament to its wide range of applications.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s present in home appliances, on phones, in hospitals, agriculture, military, government, and the list goes on. AI has also become the basis for tons of technological innovations such as face recognition, data processing, speech recognition, etc. Furthermore, the technology can also be used for business front such as an <a href=\"\/guide-to-ai-powered-customer-service\/\">AI-powered customer service<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>However, as many benefits as it brings, there\u2019s still a lot of controversies revolving around the field. Robots uprising is perhaps the most popular concern regarding the advancement of AI technologies. But there are more pressing issues than that such as the dissolution of many jobs. Some experts claim that by 2030, over 73 million jobs would become obsolete.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not all bad news, however, since automation will create new jobs and welcome various existing professions into its space. This includes developers, testers, programmers, tech specialists, etc. A degree of retraining might be required for some people but it\u2019s better than completely displacing them.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-186575 lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/financesonline.com\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IT-Trends-stats-1.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s.financesonline.com\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IT-Trends-stats-1.jpg 776w, https:\/\/s.financesonline.com\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IT-Trends-stats-1-300x178.jpg 300w, https:\/\/s.financesonline.com\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IT-Trends-stats-1-768x455.jpg 768w, https:\/\/s.financesonline.com\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IT-Trends-stats-1-81x48.jpg 81w, https:\/\/s.financesonline.com\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IT-Trends-stats-1-245x145.jpg 245w\" alt=\"consumers already using AI technologies\" width=\"600\" height=\"356\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/s.financesonline.com\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IT-Trends-stats-1.jpg 776w, https:\/\/s.financesonline.com\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IT-Trends-stats-1-300x178.jpg 300w, https:\/\/s.financesonline.com\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IT-Trends-stats-1-768x455.jpg 768w, https:\/\/s.financesonline.com\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IT-Trends-stats-1-81x48.jpg 81w, https:\/\/s.financesonline.com\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IT-Trends-stats-1-245x145.jpg 245w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/financesonline.com\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IT-Trends-stats-1.jpg\" data-expand=\"1000\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"fot-toc fot-toc--light\">\n<div class=\"fot-toc__header icon\">\n<h4>What are the advantages of AI?<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fot-toc__list\">\n<ul class=\"fot-toc__ul\">\n<li><strong>Efficient<\/strong>. AI-powered machines and applications are capable of processing data at an amazing speed and accuracy. Thus, a task that would require an expert to do in a few hours can be done within seconds. And the result would be just as accurate, if not more.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Less prone to errors. <\/strong>Human error is one of the most commonplace types of errors and AI solutions don\u2019t suffer from that. They don\u2019t experience lapses in focus, fatigue, stress, and other issues that would lead to simple mistakes. They don\u2019t have emotions too so everything they do is based on logic.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Able to work 24\/7. <\/strong>Machines don\u2019t get exhausted and thus, require no rest. Perhaps one of the biggest advantages of AI over humans when doing a job. As long as they\u2019re given proper maintenance, they\u2019re good to go for hours straight.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Can be deployed in risky situations.<\/strong> The human body is fragile, compared to a machine at least. There is a lot of work that is both dangerous and complex. A simple machine won\u2019t know what to do and a person\u2019s survival would be at risk when deployed. The solution: an AI-powered machine made of hardy materials capable of a complex operation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"clearfix\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fot-toc fot-toc--light\">\n<div class=\"fot-toc__header icon\">\n<h4>What are AI\u2019s challenges?<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fot-toc__list\">\n<ul class=\"fot-toc__ul\">\n<li><strong>Expensive<\/strong>. Between the cost of installation, operation, repair, and maintenance, AI technology isn\u2019t exactly the cheapest solution to implement. Those well-funded industries will do fine. The smaller businesses, however, will have to wait for the prices to go significantly down.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Machine dependency. <\/strong>AI is making our lives easier and thus, our dependency on machine assistance is ever-growing. This will have repercussions over time. Whether it\u2019s our intelligence, our physical fitness, or mental capacity, AI is sure to whittle some of them away.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Restricted<\/strong>. Sure AI applications are intelligent but they are still bound by the parameters within their codes. They don\u2019t have the imagination or creativity of a person and they don\u2019t grow with experience. They\u2019re capable of storing loads of data and can process at light speed. However, in the face of something new, they\u2019re most likely to commit error or breakdown.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Job loss. <\/strong>There is no shortage of repetitive and monotonous jobs out there which could be automated. This means displacement for millions of people. If not for the high implementation cost, perhaps a lot of workers today are out of job.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"clearfix\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Most Popular Artificial Intelligence Software<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Apache PredictionIO.<\/strong> An open-source machine learning software that supports data unification, data infrastructure management, engine variants evaluation and tuning, and real-time queries response.

Internet of Things<\/h3>\n<p>Internet of Things is growing at a ridiculous rate, as evident in this <a href=\"\/iot-statistics\/\">IoT Statistics<\/a> compilation. As of 2019, there are about 26 billion IoT devices installed around the world. According to experts, that number will grow to a staggering 75.44 billion. This is the very definition of trend and there\u2019s no stopping it.<\/p>\n<p>IoT is found practically anywhere in the modern world. By 2020 each person has an average of 4 connected devices and 2030, we\u2019d have 15 devices each. Thus, there\u2019s no surprise that IoT is the rage among huge businesses. In fact, according to some studies, it has a market value of about $150 billion.<\/p>\n<p>So far, the IoT devices are mostly seen in smart homes in the form of connected lights, smart fridge, etc. Wearable technologies such as smart glass and activity trackers are also very popular applications of IoT technology. Furthermore, traffic and waste management, urban safety monitoring, and water distribution are some of IoT technologies present in smart cities.<\/p>\n<p>Security is the primary concern regarding this field. IoT users are will have to face the threat of hacks, data breach, information leakage, and so on. The problem is that most IoT devices aren\u2019t equipped with security features right out of the box. So to make this technology continually enjoyable, extra steps toward security must be taken.<\/p>\n<style><\/style> <script id=\"chartist73988868\" type=\"application\/json\">\n  {\"title\":\"Top 5 Application of IoT Devices\",\"subtitle\":\"\",\"source\":\"Source: IoT Analytics 2018\",\"type\":\"bar\",\"display\":[],\"y_units\":\"percent\",\"gxl\":\"\",\"gyl\":\"\",\"lyl\":\"\",\"data\":[{\"x\":\"100\",\"xl\":\"Smart Home\",\"y\":\"100\",\"yl\":\"100%\",\"color\":\"auto\"},{\"x\":\"100\",\"xl\":\"Wearables\",\"y\":\"63\",\"yl\":\"63%\",\"color\":\"auto\"},{\"x\":\"100\",\"xl\":\"Smart City\",\"y\":\"34\",\"yl\":\"34%\",\"color\":\"auto\"},{\"x\":\"100\",\"xl\":\"Smart Grid\",\"y\":\"28\",\"yl\":\"28%\",\"color\":\"auto\"},{\"x\":\"100\",\"xl\":\"Industrial Internet\",\"y\":\"25\",\"yl\":\"25%\",\"color\":\"auto\"}]}<\/script>\n<div class=\"custom-chart\">\n<h3 class=\"chartist-header\">Top 5 Application of IoT Devices<\/h3>\n<h4 class=\"chartist-subtitle\">\u00a0<\/h4>\n<div class=\"bar-chart \">\n<div class=\"bar-chart__inner\">\n<div class=\"bar-chart__line\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div class=\"chartist-chart\" data-bar=\"true\" data-id=\"chartist73988868\" data-type=\"bar\" data-anim=\"false\"><span class=\"ct-label ct-vertical ct-start\">0<\/span><span class=\"ct-label ct-vertical ct-start\">12.5<\/span><span class=\"ct-label ct-vertical ct-start\">25<\/span><span class=\"ct-label ct-vertical ct-start\">37.5<\/span><span class=\"ct-label ct-vertical ct-start\">50<\/span><span class=\"ct-label ct-vertical ct-start\">62.5<\/span><span class=\"ct-label ct-vertical ct-start\">75<\/span><span class=\"ct-label ct-vertical ct-start\">87.5<\/span><span class=\"ct-label ct-vertical ct-start\">100<\/span><span class=\"ct-label ct-vertical ct-start\">112.5<\/span><span class=\"ct-label ct-vertical ct-start\">125<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"bar-chart__legend\">\n<div class=\"col\">\n<p>Smart Home<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col\">\n<p>Wearables<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col\">\n<p>Smart City<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col\">\n<p>Smart Grid<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col\">\n<p>Industrial Internet<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"clearfix\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"chartist-source\">Source: IoT Analytics 2018<\/p>\n<div class=\"clearfix\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<span class=\"designed\">Designed by<\/span><span class=\"bar-chart__info\" data-letter=\"a\">100%<\/span><span class=\"bar-chart__info\" data-letter=\"b\">63%<\/span><span class=\"bar-chart__info\" data-letter=\"c\">34%<\/span><span class=\"bar-chart__info\" data-letter=\"d\">28%<\/span><span class=\"bar-chart__info\" data-letter=\"e\">25%<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fot-toc fot-toc--light\">\n<div class=\"fot-toc__header icon\">\n<h4>Who are the top IoT companies?<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fot-toc__list\">\n<ul class=\"fot-toc__ul col50\">\n<li>VironIT<\/li>\n<li>R-Style Lab<\/li>\n<li>ScienceSoft<\/li>\n<li>HQSoftware<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"fot-toc__ul col50\">\n<li>Magneto IT Solutions<\/li>\n<li>TP-Link<\/li>\n<li>Eastern?Peak<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"clearfix\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3 id=\"cybersecurity\" class=\"bg-title\">3. Cybersecurity<\/h3>\n<p>Cybersecurity is old news that never went out of trend, nor will it do. New types of cyber threats are being discovered every day. The only things standing between our data and malicious activities are <a href=\"\/top-10-it-security-software-solutions\/\">IT security software<\/a>, antivirus, and other cybersecurity defenses. So long as the internet is used, threats are imminent and thus the cybersecurity industry will always continue to thrive.<\/p>\n<p>Big businesses might be the one bracing the most for cyber-attacks but in reality, smaller businesses are at greater risk. That\u2019s because according to Verizon, 61% of data breaches are targeted towards companies with less than a thousand employees. However, the threat doesn\u2019t stop with businesses since practically anyone is exposed to them. Cyber threats come in so many forms and the most common among them is email phishing. So to summarize, everyone who connects to a network is at risk.<\/p>\n<p>While cybersecurity has been a work in progress for decades now, it can still improve a lot. For instance, the average time it takes for a data breach to be detected is half a year. That\u2019s a really long window and it could certainly benefit people and businesses if it gets considerably shorter.<\/p>\n<p>Today new technological advancements for cybersecurity are emerging. For instance, technologies to fight deepfakes and open source vulnerabilities are being developed. There are also advancements in blockchain security, homomorphic encryption, and zero-knowledge proofs.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-186576 lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/financesonline.com\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IT-Trends-stats-2.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s.financesonline.com\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IT-Trends-stats-2.jpg 776w, https:\/\/s.financesonline.com\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IT-Trends-stats-2-300x182.jpg 300w, https:\/\/s.financesonline.com\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IT-Trends-stats-2-768x467.jpg 768w, https:\/\/s.financesonline.com\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IT-Trends-stats-2-79x48.jpg 79w, https:\/\/s.financesonline.com\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IT-Trends-stats-2-238x145.jpg 238w\" alt=\"annual cost of cyber damage \" width=\"600\" height=\"365\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/s.financesonline.com\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IT-Trends-stats-2.jpg 776w, https:\/\/s.financesonline.com\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IT-Trends-stats-2-300x182.jpg 300w, https:\/\/s.financesonline.com\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IT-Trends-stats-2-768x467.jpg 768w, https:\/\/s.financesonline.com\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IT-Trends-stats-2-79x48.jpg 79w, https:\/\/s.financesonline.com\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IT-Trends-stats-2-238x145.jpg 238w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/financesonline.com\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IT-Trends-stats-2.jpg\" data-expand=\"1000\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"fot-toc fot-toc--light\">\n<div class=\"fot-toc__header icon\">\n<h4>What are the latest cybersecurity threats?<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fot-toc__list\">\n<ul class=\"fot-toc__ul col50\">\n<li>Phishing<\/li>\n<li>Ransomware<\/li>\n<li>Cryptojacking<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"fot-toc__ul col50\">\n<li>Cyber-Physical Attacks<\/li>\n<li>State-Sponsored Attacks<\/li>\n<li>IoT Attacks<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"clearfix\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3 id=\"cloud\" class=\"bg-title\">4. Alternatives to Cloud Computing<\/h3>\n<p>Cloud computing was first perceived as a major breakthrough and became the trend. Until it was implemented and it became the norm. While the cloud still means someone else\u2019s computer, it does entail a plethora of benefits. This includes reliability, enhanced disaster recovery, cost reduction, and collaboration to name a few. In fact, <a href=\"\/10-reasons-cloud-adoption-mandatory-small-businesses\/\">cloud adoption is a must for small businesses<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>However, there are new technologies today in development that might just overthrow the reign of cloud computing. Some address the drawbacks of cloud computing like ongoing cost, security issues, and reliance on the internet. While some simply provide a better way of doing things.<\/p>\n<p>The first in our list of alternatives is edge computing. It\u2019s the practice of bringing data and computation closer to the location where it\u2019s needed. This helps save data bandwidth, increase the response time and is most useful for IoT devices. Instead of sending data all the way to clouds or data centers, it is processed closer. This helps analyze data in almost real-time.<\/p>\n<p>The next one is fog computing. It\u2019s built to bypass the issue with cloud computing not able to process huge amount of data in time. With fog computing, every function \u2013 storage, analysis, processing \u2013 are moved to the edge of the network. This is great for managing data flood in a networked environment.<\/p>\n<p>Another one is named Project Solid which is an initiative brought by the inventor of the web itself, Tim Berners-Lee.

After almost a decade of development, it has finally become a reality in some areas. It offers an unprecedented transmission speed that far surpasses its predecessor, 4G. And since we\u2019re talking gigabytes per second transfer rate, 5G is actually faster than virtually any home broadband available.<\/p>\n<p>Although it\u2019s not just a simple, though tremendous, upgrade in speed that 5G brings. It\u2019s also going to make leaps and bounds to the technology of the smart devices. What were once only done through computers can now be done in smart devices as well. Furthermore, IoT gadgets will be able to interconnect more smoothly. Also, things that require complex operation are now achievable. This includes drones, autonomous cars, and smart cities.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest drawback of 5G network is it\u2019s still far from complete. It\u2019s also available only in certain countries and areas as of now. Moreover, the increase in bandwidth translates into less coverage. That\u2019s because a lot of cells must be built in order to support the network\u2019s ridiculous speed. More signal droppings are to be expected as of now too. There are issues about its capability to penetrate walls and other materials as well.<\/p>\n<p>But the most concerning of them all is that some claim that the network produces radiofrequency radiation. It\u2019s a big health hazard since it can damage cause cancer, premature aging, DNA damages, disruption of cell metabolism, etc. This is due to the power of the cellular towers that will empower 5G networks. The more powerful the cell phone towers are, the more chance it will emit radiation to the environment.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-186815 lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/financesonline.com\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IT-Trends-3.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s.financesonline.com\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IT-Trends-3.jpg 776w, https:\/\/s.financesonline.com\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IT-Trends-3-300x182.jpg 300w, https:\/\/s.financesonline.com\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IT-Trends-3-768x467.jpg 768w, https:\/\/s.financesonline.com\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IT-Trends-3-79x48.jpg 79w, https:\/\/s.financesonline.com\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IT-Trends-3-238x145.jpg 238w\" alt=\"5g networks\" width=\"600\" height=\"365\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/s.financesonline.com\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IT-Trends-3.jpg 776w, https:\/\/s.financesonline.com\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IT-Trends-3-300x182.jpg 300w, https:\/\/s.financesonline.com\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IT-Trends-3-768x467.jpg 768w, https:\/\/s.financesonline.com\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IT-Trends-3-79x48.jpg 79w, https:\/\/s.financesonline.com\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IT-Trends-3-238x145.jpg 238w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/financesonline.com\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IT-Trends-3.jpg\" data-expand=\"1000\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"fot-toc fot-toc--light\">\n<div class=\"fot-toc__header icon\">\n<h4>What does 5g mean for the future?<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fot-toc__list\">\n<ul class=\"fot-toc__ul\">\n<li>By 2024, 5G networks will cover 40% of the globe.

Virtual Reality<\/h3>\n<p>Virtual Reality (VR) immerses the user into an environment. By stimulating their hearing and vision, it makes them feel as if they are experiencing the simulated environment firsthand. The most popular application of Virtual Reality is on gaming, with PlayStation VR and Facebook\u2019s Oculus leading the market.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from games, VR is also used in other forms of entertainment. For instance, some theme parks provide more immersed experience to their patrons through the VR. Some applications aren\u2019t for entertainment alone; it can also be used for education \u2013 edutainment. Examples of this include virtual museums, galleries, discovery centers, and theaters.<\/p>\n<p>Another widespread application of Virtual Reality is training and simulation. This is done in various fields such as in medicine for surgery and in aviation for flight simulation. There are VR software, such as VirtualShip, that are used to train the US Army, Coast Guard, and Navy.<\/p>\n<p>While there are already good equipment and software for VR, the field hasn\u2019t taken off just yet. While it\u2019s true that it has gained a lot of traction, there are still some issues limiting the immersion experience. For one, most of the good hardware is expensive. Also, at this point, you\u2019re either tethered into a big clunky device or are using lite stand-alone headsets. The former is expensive and limits movement while the latter has lower graphical performance.<\/p>\n<style><\/style> <script id=\"chartist55908207\" type=\"application\/json\">\n  {\"title\":\"Predicted market size of VR software by 2025\",\"subtitle\":\"\",\"source\":\"Source: Statista 2016\",\"type\":\"bar\",\"display\":[],\"y_units\":\"float\",\"gxl\":\"\",\"gyl\":\"\",\"lyl\":\"\",\"data\":[{\"x\":\"15\",\"xl\":\"Video games\",\"y\":\"11.6\",\"yl\":\"$11.6 billion\",\"color\":\"auto\"},{\"x\":\"15\",\"xl\":\"Live events\",\"y\":\"4.1\",\"yl\":\"$4.1 billion\",\"color\":\"auto\"},{\"x\":\"15\",\"xl\":\"Video entertainment\",\"y\":\"3.2\",\"yl\":\"$3.2 billion\",\"color\":\"auto\"}]}<\/script>\n<div class=\"custom-chart\">\n<h3 class=\"chartist-header\">Predicted market size of VR software by 2025<\/h3>\n<h4 class=\"chartist-subtitle\">\u00a0<\/h4>\n<div class=\"bar-chart \">\n<div class=\"bar-chart__inner\">\n<div class=\"bar-chart__line\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<div class=\"chartist-chart\" data-bar=\"true\" data-id=\"chartist55908207\" data-type=\"bar\" data-anim=\"false\"><span class=\"ct-label ct-vertical ct-start\">0<\/span><span class=\"ct-label ct-vertical ct-start\">5<\/span><span class=\"ct-label ct-vertical ct-start\">10<\/span><span class=\"ct-label ct-vertical ct-start\">15<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"bar-chart__legend\">\n<div class=\"col\">\n<p>Video games<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col\">\n<p>Live events<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col\">\n<p>Video entertainment<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"clearfix\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"chartist-source\">Source: Statista 2016<\/p>\n<div class=\"clearfix\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<span class=\"designed\">Designed by<\/span><span class=\"bar-chart__info\" data-letter=\"a\">$11.6 billion<\/span><span class=\"bar-chart__info\" data-letter=\"b\">$4.1 billion<\/span><span class=\"bar-chart__info\" data-letter=\"c\">$3.2 billion<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fot-toc fot-toc--light\">\n<div class=\"fot-toc__header icon\">\n<h4>What are some practical applications of virtual reality?<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fot-toc__list\">\n<ul class=\"fot-toc__ul col50\">\n<li>PTSD treatment<\/li>\n<li>Pain management<\/li>\n<li>Recruitment and training<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"fot-toc__ul col50\">\n<li>Paraplegics therapy<\/li>\n<li>Workplace collaboration<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"clearfix\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3 id=\"ar\" class=\"bg-title\">7. Augmented Reality<\/h3>\n<p>Many confuse Augmented Reality (AR) with Virtual Reality. They do have similarities but they are, at their core, different. Augmented Reality enhances a real-life view with digital images. This is commonly an app that works with camera lenses. Usually, the overlay images blend into reality in a way that users can easily tell them apart. Some of the most popular AR software are Snapchat and the game Pok\u00e9mon Go.<\/p>\n<p>Many consumers welcome AR because of its numerous real-world applications. For example, IKEA has an app that will let you see how furniture would look like in your room. You can do this by first scanning or taking a picture of your place and then add the furniture\u2019s image. This way, without having to actually buy and assemble the furniture, you\u2019d see if it fits perfectly with the room.<\/p>\n<p>The AR technology has also been of great help to different sectors. In enhanced navigation systems, AR is used to show route over a real-time view of the road. Some neurosurgeons use Augmented Reality to project a 3D image of a brain to aid them in surgery. In the military, pilots wear AR helmets to see vital statuses such as their speed and altitude.<\/p>\n<p>As with every technology, AR has some drawbacks associated with it. Perhaps the most popular among them is the blurring of the line between the real and digital world. This became controversial when accidents happened to many people playing Pok\u00e9mon Go. There are certain privacy concerns as well since AR is based on data collection and redistribution. This means that there\u2019s potential for information leakage and legal issues.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-186578 lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/financesonline.com\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IT-Trends-stats-4.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/s.financesonline.com\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IT-Trends-stats-4.jpg 776w, https:\/\/s.financesonline.com\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IT-Trends-stats-4-300x182.jpg 300w, https:\/\/s.financesonline.com\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IT-Trends-stats-4-768x467.jpg 768w, https:\/\/s.financesonline.com\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IT-Trends-stats-4-79x48.jpg 79w, https:\/\/s.financesonline.com\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IT-Trends-stats-4-238x145.jpg 238w\" alt=\"AR users by 2020\" width=\"600\" height=\"365\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/s.financesonline.com\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IT-Trends-stats-4.jpg 776w, https:\/\/s.financesonline.com\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IT-Trends-stats-4-300x182.jpg 300w, https:\/\/s.financesonline.com\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IT-Trends-stats-4-768x467.jpg 768w, https:\/\/s.financesonline.com\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IT-Trends-stats-4-79x48.jpg 79w, https:\/\/s.financesonline.com\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IT-Trends-stats-4-238x145.jpg 238w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/financesonline.com\/uploads\/2019\/10\/IT-Trends-stats-4.jpg\" data-expand=\"1000\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"fot-toc fot-toc--light\">\n<div class=\"fot-toc__header icon\">\n<h4>Expected revenue of Augmented Reality by 2025 (Lumus Vision)<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"fot-toc__list\">\n<ul class=\"fot-toc__ul col50\">\n<li>Video games \u2013 $11.6 billion<\/li>\n<li>Healthcare \u2013 $5.1 billion<\/li>\n<li>Engineering \u2013 $4.7 billion<\/li>\n<li>Live Events \u2013 $4.1 billion<\/li>\n<li>Video Entertainment \u2013 $3.2 billion<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul class=\"fot-toc__ul col50\">\n<li>Real Estate \u2013 $2.6 billion<\/li>\n<li>Retail \u2013 $1.6 billion<\/li>\n<li>Military \u2013 $1.4 billion<\/li>\n<li>Education \u2013 $7 million<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"clearfix\">\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3 id=\"chatbot\" class=\"bg-title\">8. Chatbot<\/h3>\n<p>Due to the growth of machine learning, chatbots have become extremely popular for small businesses and huge enterprises alike. Combine that with natural language processing (NLP) and we got ourselves a more responsive, more intelligent, and more human conversational agent. Typically, <a href=\"\/chatbots-in-customer-service\/\">chatbots are used in customer service<\/a>. It\u2019s also one of the most popular SMB technological trends of today.<\/p>\n<p>A chatbot is a program whose main function is to simulate conversation with humans. By that definition alone, we could infer that this technology has a certain degree of application. It\u2019s no longer just a novelty and hyped technology but instead, it has reached the stage of maturity. That, however, does not mean that it has no room for growth because it does, a big one even.<\/p>\n<p>Chatbots today are more AI-driven and are becoming human-like. They\u2019re now more suited to chat with customers as a representative of the company. Smart speakers, which delivers voice experience, are also becoming a norm.\u00a0 Chatbots are being steadily adopted by more businesses too. According to IBM, there are 265 billion customer requests recorded that businesses spent $1.3 trillion to deal with. A chatbot is a big help in cutting some of those expenditures.<\/p>\n<p>One of the biggest challenges in chatbot development is that it can only be as advanced as NLP is. This conversational software will always be dependent on their part which parses human language. Also, when used as <a href=\"https:\/\/customer-support.financesonline.com\/top-10-customer-support-software-for-your-company\/\">customer service tool<\/a>, clients might become frustrated when the answers get repetitive or limiting.

Blockchain<\/h3>\n<p>Blockchain, in its most bare form, is a data which you can only add to. It\u2019s like creating a link of blocks to form a chain, hence the name. The fact that the previous blocks cannot be altered is the central point of its security. Another main feature of blockchain is that no single entity governs it. The technology is usually related to cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin but it\u2019s more than that.<\/p>\n<p>When it was first introduced, blockchain has attracted a lot of snake-oil salesmen. They\u2019re making use of get-rich-quick schemes to rake money out of less informed crowd. It got so bad that regulators had to enter the scene. Scammers aside, however, many businesses legitimately believe in the potential of blockchain as the next big breakthrough.<\/p>\n<p>Blockchain is also becoming big in the field of Internet of Things. It turns out that the technology is a good solution for providing security to IoT devices. It\u2019s also making noises in the financial sector, especially the big ones since it\u2019s a potential disruptor to their business. In this light, it\u2019s more likely that the upstarts will be the ones to offer services built around blockchain.<\/p>\n<p>The emergence of this technology, however, does not signal the end of cryptocurrencies. In fact, Bitcoin is still a big thing and there are other cryptocurrencies to watch out for.
