Days after the beginning of 2021 and it’s time to update my annual technology prediction. As you’ll see some are a bit redux, while others look at possibilities that would be amazing. I’d note to my readers – thanks for taking time to read this rambling, and I look forward to your feedback and ideas for next year!.   2020 in review Four of my five 2020 predictions came abouts to some level. Either my predictions where spot on, or they where not as futuristic as I thought. 5G is now ubiquitous and most countries have rolled the capabilities out nationwide. In the USA all major providers have boasted the capability of 5G and in fact 5G made headlines as a cause for COVID-19 within some extremely paranoid. So 5G is available, and a great marketing gimmick – unfortunately for me, it’s a fizzle and fails to really make a difference in connection speeds over 3G. I’ve noted many say similar – that 5G over 3G is a cool idea – if it actually provided more connection speed. This ...

2020 is coming upon us, and it's time to reflect on my 2019 predictions I made, and look forward to this coming year with another technology prediction. So let's get started - first off - a lookback to see  progress in the areas I outlined, possibly no earth shattering results, but progress.  2019 retrospective - New UX - probably not as much evolution as I would have wanted to see in this area. For now, we use windows, android, IOS, and it's pretty much the same UX as it's been for a while. IoT the simple assistant - IoT continues to be the hot area of growth. I consider this more evolution than revolution. As we see IoT based technology being embedded into more and more devices. Cloud growth advances in   astonishing speeds - This past year all three cloud providers made strides in the cloud worth noticing.  AWS entered the quantum computing market with Bracket, introduced an in-house...

Every year I read the tech predictions of the major media outlets, and research companies and I have a different view that I share with my friends. This year I realized it's probably easier to for me to bring the ideas to all my readers as my own 2019 technology predictions. I used the work done from Forbes, and Gartner as my starting point as both have glimmers of truth that help form my list. Forbes and Gartner predictions high level Before I jump in my predictions let's look at the   Forbes 2019 tech prediction article   and  Gartner 2019 top 10  articles. The thematic of their articles are based on these eight ideas: Rise in autonomous things - the idea is that many more manual tasks will be automated in 2019. This includes the use of drones, and robotics powered by better Artificial Intelligence (AI) that will allow the machines to learn and adapt in the natural world.   Augmented reality, and Virtual Reality (VR) will grow i...
