Whether you live in central London or Sydney, you are surrounded by new tech and with the Internet of Things Digital Technology is Here and is about to become reality, things will never be the same. Wireless connectivity and touch-screen tech will revolutionise the way we live and all this has happened in the space of a few decades, which is nothing short of amazing!
5G Satellite Coverage
While we’ve all been glued to the SpaceX launching ISS crew, not many of us are aware that in the past 2 years, they have put up thousands of low-orbit 5G satellites, which will give us complete planet connectivity, with 10x speed. If you look up at the sky at night, you might see a trail of white dots that are moving in a line, which are 5G satellites traversing across the sky.
The IoT
The Internet of Things is a global network specifically for digital devices, ranging from home solutions to traffic management; AI will manage your home 24/7 and you can turn on the heating 30 minutes before you arrive home using a smartphone app, or have the oven activated when the time comes to start cooking. If your car develops an issue, it would report back to the manufacturer via the IoT and that makes life so much easier.
Touch Screen Devices
We are already well into the touch-screen era and that doesn’t look like changing anytime soon; with leading UK white glove logistics providers such as Rhenus High Tech, the latest generation of touch-screen devices are installed and managed by OEM approved technicians. Restaurant menus and information boards in museums are just a couple of the places you will find touch-screen solutions and this technical equipment requires specialist handling.
Wireless Connectivity
This will soon be the norm worldwide and we are already enjoying 100% wireless in developed countries, which is largely due to Elon Musk and SpaceX, who are still launching low-orbit satellites to add to the global coverage.
Social Media
Everyone has a Facebook account it seems and with other platforms like Tik-Tok and Telegram, social media is also using AI in many ways. Society is changing in so many ways and social media is just one aspect of our way of life that has become digital; some say that social media needs to be regulated and that might happen in the near future, as many people are far from happy with censorship issues. AI can actually help the online business to retain customers.
Blockchain
This is new digital technology that uses an open-ledger system; Bitcoin is powered by blockchain, which, according to experts, is unhackable. Governments are using blockchain to record citizen data, while blockchain is also widely used in many industries as a ledger-based database. If you are IT savvy and are looking for a challenging career, getting into blockchain development would be a smart move.
The world of ones and zeros has finally arrived and artificial intelligence is a real game-changer, which will take us to a new level of digital connectivity.
