My working hypothesis is that 20 years is long enough to represent a true extrapolation into the future. Yet it is also short enough that existing trends in laboratory research can help us understand the future without indulging in rampant speculation. Since many defense systems take a couple of decades to develop, it should not be an overly daunting task to gauge how the world might look, in terms of deployable military technology, 20 years from now. This approach is not foolproof, as discussed in my forthcoming book, but if undertaken with the proper degree of acknowledged uncertainty, can still be quite useful.
This year, 2020, marks the 20th anniversary for Moneypenny, the leading outsourced-communications company. The world has spun a few times since the advent of the new millennium. Still, given the exponential rise in quotidian technology, it can be somewhat surprising to compare how things were just two decades ago. Indeed, when one considers what tech we used in our typical lives back then, 2000 looks like the dark ages.
Twenty Tech Trends for 2020
(Baltimore-Columbia-Towson, MD)Landing at no. 17 on the 2020 Tech Town Index, Baltimore jumped significantly to no. 12 in 2021. Home to the renowned Johns Hopkins University, the Baltimore area has been a longstanding leader in the health care and bioscience space. Top technology employers like Anthem Blue Cross back that up. One of the best cities for computer science jobs, Baltimore is expanding to other tech sectors as of late, and with expansion comes new opportunity.
(San Francisco-Oakland-Berkeley, CA)In 2020, amidst the pandemic, the story in San Francisco was all about workers fleeing the city. The rumored exodus of tech workers from the Bay Area was big news. But sometimes what you hate about where you live and work can also be what you love. Although the San Francisco metro area slipped to no. 8 on Tech Town Index in 2021 (from no. 5 in 2018 and 2019 and no. 7 in 2020) true San Franciscans may be making a return to one of the biggest tech cities in the United States.
Our public sector global technology trends for 2020 report was published this week. [Remind yourself of the technology trends for 2019.] Underpinned by an international survey, undertaken in collaboration with ALGIM, LOLA and MCE, it reveals that AI, IoT and cloud computing are the key areas where participating countries identified huge growth.
Team projects allow students to apply their technical skills to a real-world context and build twenty-first century competencies, including teamwork, project management and communication skills. However, the complex challenges that such experiential learning projects present for students and faculty can limit the scale of implementation. This article argues that Virtual Business Projects (VBP), a model of team-based experiential learning where teams of students complete a virtual business project for an industry sponsor, can mitigate these problems by leveraging instructional technology and learning analytics. The VBP model is deployed in multiple universities, which have provided more than 2500 Virtual Business Projects since 2015. We will discuss how innovative technology, embedded in thoughtful learning design, supports experiential learning by taking advantage of features such as customizable scaffolding, automated reflection and feedback loops, and learning analytics.
In 2015, the World Economic Forum (WEF) developed a twenty-first Century Skills framework that identified foundational literacies, competencies, and character qualities required for a successful career as we transition into the 4th industrial revolution (World Economic Forum 2015). In parallel, literature has emerged analyzing how different pedagogical practices like service-learning, work-integrated learning, and project-based learning support the development of these WEF twenty-first Century Skills (Ahuna et al. 2014; Morgan 2016; Snape 2017; Tasso et al. 2017). Team consulting projects are one such pedagogical practice employed in capstone courses in higher education (Case and Hoot 2019; Mattarocci and Ball 2018; Reidenberg and Long 2017). These capstones are referred to as capstone projects, capstone consulting teams, and various other names in the literature, but their nature is the same. Students work in teams to deliver a project for an industry client. For simplicity, we refer to them as Team Projects, and we use the term Virtual Business Project to refer to a technology-enabled Team Project.
In order to deliver Team Projects at a scale that makes them cost-effective while maintaining the quality of the learning experience, the challenges mentioned above need to be overcome, and use of emerging technologies may be a way to do it. Emerging technologies like machine learning and real-time learning analytics hold the potential to support students at different levels, monitor reflective activities in order to highlight learning challenges, and automate the operational tasks required to leverage the use of feedback in instruction and to monitor engagement. This ability to automate operational tasks and provide data and insight to faculty enables faculty to provide more tailored support to students (James et al. 2018). Crawley et al. (2009), identify that the transition from face-to-face learning to online or technology-enabled learning results in a loss of affective cues used to intuit learner needs. Research that integrates learning analytics and learning science indicates that real-time learning analytics enabled by machine learning could offer a replacement for affective cues lost in technology-enabled learning (James 2020).
(7) AI will achieve human-level intelligence: As predicted by technologist and futurist Ray Kurzweil, artificial intelligence will reach human-level performance this decade (by 2030). Through the 2020s, AI algorithms and machine learning tools will be increasingly made open source, available on the cloud, allowing any individual with an internet connection to supplement their cognitive ability, augment their problem-solving capacity, and build new ventures at a fraction of the current cost. This metatrend will be driven by the convergence of global high-bandwidth connectivity, neural networks, and cloud computing. Every industry, spanning industrial design, healthcare, education, and entertainment, will be impacted.
The 2010s were a decade of phenomenal innovation, led largely by the transition to mobile and the rise of data, which accelerated the growth of AI, e-commerce, social media, and biotechnology. In the 2020s, additional foundational changes will take place as data latency shortens and AI algorithms improve. Such progress should enable new technologies to flourish, including autonomous vehicles, conversational AI, the massive internet of things, and augmented and virtual reality. As new technologies are introduced to the market place, they will have a profound impact on our lives, workplaces, and even investments as they reshape the economy.

Consumers have a lot of tech news to keep up with in 2020, with anticipated advances in autonomous vehicles, folding touchscreen phones and new video game consoles. But what are tech professionals gearing up for this year?
These are just a few of the upcoming tech evolutions the following professionals are paying attention to. While each tech leader is harnessing different technological developments for different reasons, all paths lead to improved customer satisfaction and a continual evolution of their businesses. From robotics to 5G networks, these are the trends that will be shaping tech in 2020.
We see a few trends gaining traction in 2020. The first is the emphasis on DevOps in enterprises to connect company applications to remote resources without the need for deep networks. A good example of this is multi-cloud automation, which is driven by both innovation and demand. Hyperscale clouds will reach a state of interoperability that will unlock the ability for companies to automate across multiple clouds.
There are no limits on what the tech industry can update, including car repairs. Senior Vice President of Technology at RepairSmith Kay Lee told us which tech trends he is investigating to make car repair more convenient for customers.
After a long pause due to the pandemic, 2022 is the year of new tech trends. From the continuous discussion of Metaverse to the increasing popularity of 5G networks, this year, the internet is faster and smarter than ever.
The most striking achievement of 5G is its speed which is expected to clock at 20 GB/s. Now, how fast are we discussing? Let us take an example of these future technology trends. Suppose you download the contents of an (approx) 5 GB DVD at an average of 50 MB/s. It will take roughly about 13 minutes. Now the same will take barely 2 seconds to download on 5G at top speed.
If you keep up with current tech trends, you must be apprised of companies like Tesla, Alphabet, and Waymo, and the one thing that is common among them is their objective, which is to craft impeccable autonomous vehicles. The idea of a driverless car in itself generates a considerable amount of excitement.
There is still time for the modulation of the laws for emerging technology trends like autonomous driving by legislators, regulators, and authorities. Over that, significant tweaks will be required in the existing infrastructure, laws, and social attitudes before we can embrace autonomous vehicles in the new upcoming technology trends in information technology. Autonomous vehicles have already got the green light in a few regions to run on roads. However, the market is very limited, and to become the future of technology in the global economy, these vehicles will have to become much smarter. 2ff7e9595c
