  Cyber security might not seem like an emerging technology, given that it has been around for a while, but it is evolving just as other technologies are. That’s in part because threats are constantly new. The malevolent hackers who are trying to illegally access data are not going to give up any time soon, and they will continue to find ways to get through even the toughest security measures. It’s also in part because new technology is being adapted to enhance security. As long as we have hackers,  Cyber Security   will remain a trending technology because it will constantly evolve to defend against those hackers.  As proof of the strong need for cybersecurity professionals, the number of cybersecurity jobs is growing three times faster than other tech jobs.

  Next remarkable technology trend is quantum computing , which is a form of computing that takes advantage of quantum phenomena like superposition and quantum entanglement. This amazing technology trend is also involved in preventing the spread of the coronavirus, and to develop potential vaccines, thanks to its ability to easily query, monitor, analyze and act on data, regardless of the source. Another field where quantum computing is finding applications is banking and finance, to manage credit risk, for high-frequency trading and fraud detection. Quantum computers are now a multitude times faster than regular computers and huge brands like Splunk, Honeywell, Microsoft, AWS, Google and many others are now involved in making innovations in the field of Quantum Computing. The revenues for the global quantum computing market are projected to surpass $2.5 billion by 2029 .  And to make a mark in this new trending technology, you need to have experience with quantum mechanics, l...

  The next technology trend that follows the IoT is 5G. Where 3G and 4G technologies have enabled us to browse the internet, use data driven services, increased bandwidths for streaming on Spotify or YouTube and so much more, 5G services are expected to revolutionize our lives. by enabling services that rely on advanced technologies like AR and VR, alongside cloud based gaming services like Google Stadia, NVidia GeForce Now and much more. It is expected to be used in factories, HD cameras that help improve safety and traffic management, smart grid control and smart retail too. Just about every telecom company like Verizon, Tmobile, Apple, Nokia Corp, QualComm, are now working on creating 5G applications. 5G Networks will cover 40% of the world by 2024. handling 25% of all mobile traffic data making it an emerging technology trend you must watch out for, and also save a spot in.

  Like AI and Machine Learning,   Robotic Process Automation, or RPA , is another technology that is automating jobs. RPA is the use of software to automate business processes such as interpreting applications, processing transactions, dealing with data, and even replying to emails. RPA automates repetitive tasks that people used to do.  Although Forrester Research estimates RPA automation will threaten the livelihood of  230 million or more  knowledge workers or approximately 9 percent of the global workforce, RPA is also creating new jobs while altering existing jobs. McKinsey finds that  less than 5 percent of occupations can be totally automated , but about 60 percent can be partially automated. For you as an IT professional looking to the future and trying to understand latest technology trends, RPA offers plenty of  career opportunities , including developer, project manager, business analyst, solution architect and consultant. And these jobs pay...

  Artificial Intelligence , or AI, has already received a lot of buzz in the past decade, but it continues to be one of the new  technology trends  because of its notable effects on how we live, work and play are only in the early stages. AI is already known for its superiority in image and speech recognition, navigation apps, smartphone personal assistants, ride-sharing apps and so much more. Other than that AI will be used further to analyze interactions to determine underlying connections and insights, to help predict demand for services like  hospitals  enabling authorities to make better decisions about resource utilization, and to detect the changing patterns of  customer behaviour  by analyzing data in near real-time, driving revenues and enhancing personalized experiences. The AI market will grow to a  $190 billion industry by 2025  with global spending on cognitive and AI systems reaching over  $57 billion in 2022.   W...
