Technology Industry Trends in 2022

Technology; Industry Trends 2022

All

​Technology trends can change faster than almost any other. When the pandemic started, it forced companies to swiftly change their technology to better support teleworking. The technology industry, likewise, has had too swiftly change to support these developments. So what is on the horizon for 2022?

Smart Technology and AI
The tech industry has to prepare for a continued shift toward smart connectivity. This includes smart appliances, televisions, phones, light and thermostats in office buildings, even smart cities.
 
For example: Tech companies are relying on AI algorithms to scan the faces of drivers to determine when they are falling asleep at the wheel.
 
But at the backbone of this smart technology is artificial intelligence. It's artificial intelligence algorithms that make smart devices and smart connectivity feasible. Throughout the coming year AI will continue to permeate the tools that the technology industry uses on a daily basis.

IoT and 5G
Similarly, AI powered solutions are projected to facilitate better connectivity across the Internet of Things. This connection will be powered by the backbone of 5G networks.
 
For example: Companies with 5G can process large scale company information faster, in order to determine productivity among departments.
 
Growing data volume among the tech industry, a demand for faster processing speeds and the democratization of data will rely heavily on the augmentation of all of these broad trends coming together.

Hybrid Solutions
The continual democratization of data within the technology industry will push cloud solutions for what were previously expensive infrastructure costs, facilitating better storage and processing. Hybrid solutions will help handle valuable or private data where public cloud solutions are ineffective.
 
For example: Companies can use cloud solutions to house company files and corporate directories so that workers at home or in the office can access shared files and company data for better communication.
 
Similarly, a skills crisis has forced the tech industry to search for readily built AI Solutions whether it's for production, planning, project management, marketing, or HR. Companies will continue to deploy The Internet of Things infrastructure in tandem with AI infrastructure to better address the demand for no code interfaces.

​Virtualization
The technology industry should also brace for a persistent move toward virtualization.
 
For example: Companies can now use virtualization for company meetings, so that employees are not staring at a blank power point screen in an online meeting.
 
Virtualization of workplaces and offices were made possible during the pandemic and while this possibility was driven by the crisis, it is projected that over the coming years people will continue to carry out functions in a virtual capacity that they were previously doing in the real world.
