Technological Trends to Expect This Year
Technology is one of the strangest things that humans continue to interact with on a daily basis. The best thing is that most of us may not have an idea of what is yet to come in the technological arena, but we can only anticipate. Here are some of the trends you can expect to shape the world this year.
Growth of on-demand capabilities
Uber, which is essentially an app, is probably one word that most, if not all individuals can relate to in one way or another. That is why today, there are connotations of this word in various aspects, as people talk about ‘the Uber' of this and the other. As such, you should expect more developments this year that seek to make various products or services available to consumers instantly, even as demand grows.
AR and VR
AR and VR concepts continue to apply in our daily lives. Some of the latest development of that year include Pokémon Go that has more than 100 million downloads today, in addition to the release of Oculus Rift. Going forward, you can expect advances in AR and VR to continue, which will precede more creations in the following year.
Physical-digital integrations
Smartphones offer a platform for customers to access various products and services throughout the world. For example, site-to-store purchases, allow one to buy online and pick up of products after that, happens at a physical location. In a bid to foster physical-digital interactions, you can expect such brands as Walmart to have such digital features as product trials and store maps, while Amazon will avail such physical products as Dash Buttons.
