According to members of the Forbes Technology Council, an
organization for senior-level technology executives, we should be
keeping our eyes on technology trends including these between
now and 2022:
Conversational Interfaces
A conversational interface is any user interface (UI) that mimics chatting with a real human.
So instead of communicating with a computer on its own inhuman terms — by clicking on
icons and entering commands — you interact with it on your terms by just telling it what to
do. Right now, there are two basic types of conversational interfaces: voice assistants (which
you talk to) and chatbots (which you type to).
Virtual Reality
Examples of virtual reality environments include games, movies, trainings, and simulations.
Pilots can learn to fly, for example, by using a virtual reality environment representing a plane.
Equipment needed for virtual reality applications usually includes a handset or hand-held
controller. The virtual reality experience includes visual, audio, and haptic (touch) elements.
Autonomous Cars
An autonomous (or driverless) car is a vehicle that is capable of sensing its environment
and navigating without human input. The potential benefits include saving lives and reduc-
ing costs. Many such vehicles are being developed, but as of February 2017, the automated
cars now permitted on public roads are not yet fully autonomous.
Internet Of Things
Many people consider the Internet of Things (IoT) to be one of the most exciting and use-
ful tech trends. IoT refers to internet-connected devices ranging from kitchen appliances to
heart monitors that are able to collect and exchange data using embedded sensors. As this
technology grows in the next few years, more devices will join the list.
Speaking of internet-connected devices, you may need a faster inter-
net connection if you have lots of them in use at your house. Call us at
