These are the 10 mainly essential technology developments for 2016

Anyone who thinks our world is already largely been digitally networked should be prepared for further developments. The market research firm Gartner has identified the 10 most important technology trends that will determine our future:

1.       Internet apps and devices

The amount of apps, gears, and the community who exercise them, continues to grow. Also, the relations amid public, the societal networks, corporations and authorities are becoming more and more important. This also includes the so-called Internet of Things, in which sensors counter wisely to their atmosphere.

2.       Unlimited consumer understanding

The system of devices and applications will enlarge the user knowledge always. This means that virtual reality will not tear, irrespective of where you are or what devices you are traveling. The development of mobile apps is important but it is even more important that those can be used on diverse devices and as in the automobile or even on the industrial unit floor.

3.       Major 3D printing

3D printing is developing rapidly and with it the growing possibilities of different materials that are suitable for printing. Today there are as print materials nickel compounds, carbon fibers, glass, conductive ink or pharmaceutical and biological materials and the application areas of 3D printing are greater. Gartner sees annual growth rates of around 64% to of 2019.

4.       Information in the context

The information that was previously isolated or inaccessible is networked together today. Besides conventional simple text, audio or video data, for example, a sensor or environmental data can be fed into a network. New analysis techniques will evaluate the data chaos and establish connections.

5.       Find out systems autonomously

DNN is the keyword for upcoming systems. Hardware with deep neural networks (neural nets deep) can develop learning processes autonomously and therefore act intelligently. Only they will be able to cope with the explosion of data, while the man in this context becomes increasingly uneconomical.

6.       Assistants work autonomously

Autonomous or semi-autonomous machines such as robots, self-propelled cars or virtual personal assistants are increasingly in our lives. In particular, the personal assistant, their precursors are language assistants such as Microsoft's Cortana or Apple's Siri, is currently developing rapidly.

7.       Flexible response to security vulnerabilities

Simultaneously with the complexity of the digital world, the "hacker industry" is growing and their potential threat to a company, especially as more and more organizations to access cloud-based services. IT managers should focus on the detection and threat mitigation, but also traditional defense methods and others.

8.       Architecture of security

The growing demands in the IT architecture of a company require new powerful and highly efficient defense systems. This "neuromorphic" architectures that combine biological and digital systems to each other, based on human learning and intelligence.

9.       Stretchy, centralizing approach

Linear application designs are more and more giving a comprehensive approach and thus make far better suppleness possible. Here IoT with the mobile application will be brought together so that an individualized service can arise, which operates from the cloud-based application.

1.   Platform for the Internet of Things

Every company that needs to function in the IOT desires a platform approach. This platform is necessary for the overall management, security, and integration with other technologies.
