The technological advancements are changing the world at a rapid speed. We are always connected, whether it’s through our smartphones or robotics. Communication is no longer just face-to-face or written in handwriting instead, it is instant and immediate through a variety of channels that include voice assistants, text messages, and video calls.
The new technology has improved the quality of our lives from generation to generation. There are risks, particularly when it comes to the job market. Some people are worried that the latest technology will replace jobs that are performed by humans. This might happen in some cases. We know from past experience, however that the creation of new jobs can help offset the loss of a few jobs.
We are already experiencing this in the workplace with advancements in artificial intelligence and natural language processing and robotics. We are also seeing the impact of drones and 5G networks.
These technologies will revolutionize business processes, bringing greater levels of connectivity, automation, and security. Blockchains for instance, are reshaping the supply chain by making it more secure and offering an indestructible record of transactions. And 5G will enable businesses to process data closer to where it originated (ultra low latency) and also ensure data sovereignty and increase security by reducing the transmission of data costs.
Virtual reality and augmented realities are changing the way we interact with devices and information. They offer immersive experiences that appear and feel like real life. We are also witnessing significant advancements in areas such as gene editing, which could reduce the incidence of genetic diseases such as muscular dystrophy and cystic fibrosis.
