If you've ever wanted to know what the future holds, then you've come to the right place. Accenture recently released a report, Technology Trends for 2022, which describes fourteen important technology trends that will shape the future. These include: AI, blockchain, and virtual reality. We will live in a world that is increasingly interconnected, and we'll see artificial intelligence (AI) and synthetic content convincingly mimic the real world. In short, the future will be shaped by authenticity. This report identifies the technology that will continue to influence the way that companies conduct business in the coming years. Among them are: smart devices (sensors, cameras, etc.), autonomous vehicles, and edge computing platforms. These all relate to the digital transformation of infra...

New technological convergence refers to the merging of technologies that were once separate. This phenomenon, which is often referred to as convergence of technologies, will bring new ways of thinking about the world. These changes should be beneficial to individuals and the economy, but the dangers of this transformation also exist. For example, new technological convergence may threaten human values, culture, tradition, integrity, and political stability. In order to prevent such a potential disaster from happening, we need to better understand the effects of technological convergence. While the idea of converging technologies might raise fears of uncontrollable power, new studies show that these technologies are actually bringing great benefits to mankind. Some studies indicate that...

Automating complex processes with RPA Technology is a great way to free human workers to focus on role-specific tasks. RPA technology works in three easy steps. First, identify the tasks that can be automated. Examples include recruitment and contract administration processes. These processes are easy to define and replicate, which means they are great candidates for automation. Once a process has been identified as an ideal candidate, the next step is to reprogramme the robot. Automation isn't always easy, but it's possible to overcome resistance to change by identifying specific tasks that can be automated. The first step is to identify tasks that are not as critical and prioritize those that can. If an employee is hesitant to automate, they can participate in a Build-a-Bot session t...

If you're wondering how to make the best use of technology in the classroom, consider incorporating social media. Students spend a considerable amount of time online, and integrating this technology into the classroom can help students connect with the curriculum, classroom resources, and one another. Teachers can set up a Facebook group for the class, develop their own Twitter hashtags, and more. Ultimately, the best use for technology in the classroom will be a result of your team's input. The first step in selecting technology for your business is assessing your business's needs. It's easy to underestimate the amount of technology your business needs and end up wasting money and time on unnecessary technology. Before you purchase new technology, think about what departments will use...

There are some fascinating tidbits in the tech world. Firefox's logo isn't a fox - it's a red panda! And Google, the search engine, was originally supposed to be named Googol - the number one followed by one hundred zeros - but it was shortened to Google. Increasingly, we are becoming suspicious of technology. It's not uncommon for people to develop phobias, especially when it comes to computers and technology. Some people even fear being without their mobile phone. There are more than 6 billion people worldwide who own cell phones. Yet only 4.5 billion people have access to working toilets. Apple released the first computer to have a GUI and mouse. Before that, all computers were text-based. Lisa stands for Logical Integrated Software Architecture. It was also the name of Steve Job's ...

The concepts of technology and innovation have many definitions. The term is broad and has many facets in the academic and business world. Let's take a look at a few of them: The United States was a technology and innovation leader 70 years ago, but today, it's lagging behind its major competitors. Policymakers are likely to hear from their constituencies, which might prevent innovation or protect incumbents from competition. The rule of law, property rights, patent protection, free trade, and various incentives for investment are some of the policies in place. In many cases, light-touch regulations and incentives to invest have also been implemented. While few countries create frontier technologies, all countries need to prepare themselves for them. To do this, the Technology and I...
