Emerging trends in information technology
- 1. EMERGING TRENDS IN INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY PRESENTED TO YOU BY : MR. SHIV KUMAR BCA 5TH SEM. 1822562
- 2. WHAT IS INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ? ITAA (Information Technology Association of America) defined information technology as being the study, design, development, implementation, support and/or management of any computer based information system.
- 3. TOP INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY TRENDS FOR 2020 Artificial Intelligence (AI) Machine Learning Robotic Process Automation or RPA Edge Computing Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality Cybersecurity Blockchain Internet of Things (IoT)
- 4. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) AI refers to computer systems built to mimic human intelligence and perform tasks such as • recognition of images, • speech or patterns, • decision making, • and many more… AI can do these tasks faster and more accurate than humans.
- 5. AI is used in • Navigation apps • Streaming services • Smartphone personal assistants • Ride-sharing apps • Home personal assistants • Smart home devices • Schedule trains • Assess business risks • Predict maintenance • Improve energy efficiency, among many other money- saving tasks • and lots of more.
- 6. MACHINE LEARNING : A SUBSET OF AI • With Machine Learning, computers are programmed to learn to do something they are not programmed to do: they learn by discovering patterns and insights from data. • It is achieved by historic data, statistics and sophisticated algorithms. • In general, we have two types of learning, supervised and unsupervised.
- 7. Subsets of Machine Learning are: • Neural networks • Natural language processing (NLP) • Deep learning Each of these subsets offers an opportunity for specializing in a career field that will only grow. Machine Learning powers: • Web search results • Real-time ads • Network Intrusion Detection • And lots of more…
- 8. ROBOTIC PROCESS AUTOMATION OR RPA RPA is the use of software to automate business processes such as: • Interpreting applications • Processing transactions • Dealing with data • and even Replying to emails. Primary focus of RPA is to automate repetitive tasks that people used to do.
- 9. RPA career opportunities in RPA: • Developer • Project Manager • Business Analyst • Solution Architect • Consultant.
- 10. EDGE COMPUTING • Edge computing is a distributed, open IT architecture that features decentralised processing power, enabling mobile computing and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies. • In edge computing, data is processed by the device itself or by a local computer or server, rather than being transmitted to a data centre.
- 11. Edge computing allows • Efficient data processing near the source • Reducing Internet bandwidth usage. It eliminates costs and ensures that applications can be used effectively in remote locations. The ability to process data without ever putting it into a public cloud adds a useful layer of security for sensitive data.
- 12. VIRTUAL REALITY AND AUGMENTED REALITY • Virtual Reality (VR) immerses the user in an environment while Augment Reality (AR) enhances their environment. • VR has primarily been used for gaming thus far, it has also been used for training, as with VirtualShip, a simulation software used to train U.S. Navy, Army, and Coast Guard ship captains. • The popular Pokemon Go is an example of AR.
- 13. Uses of VR and AR : • Training • Entertainment • Education • Marketing • Offers museum-goers a deeper experience • Enhance theme parks
- 14. CYBERSECURITY • Cybersecurity is evolving just as other technologies are. That’s in part because threats are constantly new. • The mean hackers who are trying to illegally access data are not going to give up any time soon, and they will continue to find ways to get through even the toughest security measures. • It’s also in part because new technology is being adapted to enhance security. • As long as we have hackers, we will have cyber security as an emerging technology because it will constantly evolve to defend against those hackers.
- 15. There is strong need for cybersecurity professionals, So the number of cybersecurity jobs is growing three times faster than other tech jobs. Roles in Cybersecurity: • Ethical Hacker • Security Engineer • Chief Security Officer
- 16. BLOCKCHAIN • Blockchain can be described as data you can only add to, not take away from or change. Hence the term “chain” because we’re making a chain of data. • Blockchains are consensus-driven, so no one entity can take control of the data. • With blockchain, we don’t need a trusted third-party to oversee or validate transactions.
- 17. • Most people think of blockchain technology in relation to cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin are blockchain, but it is a part of blockchain. • A blockchain developer specializes in developing and implementing architecture and solutions using blockchain technology
- 18. INTERNET OF THINGS (IOT) • IOT is an Intelligent interactivity between human and smart devices to exchange information and knowledge for new value creation. • Many “smart devices” are now being built with WiFi or bluetooth connectivity, meaning they can be connected to the Internet or other source and to each other. • The IoT enable better safety, efficiency, and decision making for businesses as data is collected and analysed. • It enable predictive maintenance, speed up medical care, improve customer service, and offer benefits we haven’t even imagined yet.
- 19. The Internet of Things is used in • Connected appliances • Smart home security systems • Smart Vehicles • Autonomous farming equipment • Wearable health monitors • Smart factory equipments • Wireless inventory trackers • Ultra-high speed wireless internet • Biometric cybersecurity scanners We’re only in the beginning stages of IOT.
