The 10 technology trends for 2016 – Fastweb.it (Blog)

From the evolution of neural networks to health just a wearable, here’s what to expect in the next 12 months

If 2015 gave a lot of satisfaction to those who love technology, 2016 should not be outdone. Among the new products on the launching pad and experimental technologies now sufficiently “mature” to arrive on the market, the 12 months that lie ahead should bring with them interesting news on several fronts. Here are some of the technology trends that should mark the entire 2016.



Virtual reality finally becomes reality

Among the the fastest-expanding already in 2015, virtual reality promises great things for the 2016. From tech “niche”, virtual reality should become an economic and trade increasingly important. About, in large part, to viewers VR becomes cheaper and affordable for all, that will be the driving force for the entire industry. More and more developers will be interested to release apps for virtual reality, thereby multiplying the virtual worlds in which you will be immersed.

The appearance of ultra app

The evolution of technology is so fast that what appears today as being certain and immutable is set to change in a profound and, in some cases, disappear altogether. The mobile apps are an example: until not long ago operated only if used by users, today able to take action in an independent way by coating a vital role in the lives of users. It is not ruled out that in 2016 the app, more and more autonomous and “free to move”, break the boundaries of mobile devices to go to “contaminate” other sectors. It is not impossible, in fact, that in a few months the cars, thanks to apps developed for the automotive ecosystem, pay the account of the distributor or the takeaway that there is no need for cash or cards Credit various. The first experiments in this sense, have given encouraging results.



User experience “environmental”

The combination of these two elements leads to the creation a new operating environment within which users can “move” and interact with apps, programs and devices. The user experience become environmental boundaries between different devices and different technologies thins more and more and, thanks to the development of technology related to ‘ Internet of everything , the’ interaction will not be limited only to the display of the smartphone or the computer screen but it will end with the “invading” the reality.



Health at wearable

Thanks to the app and wearable devices more reliable and economical, all (or almost) have the ability to control their health state. But we are only at the beginning of a Copernican revolution of technology related to the world of health: by 2019 the care industry hi-tech should grow by 600% thanks to the landing of new market tracker and wearable invisible (or almost) and able to control every aspect of our body. A significant step forward both for the technology, but also for the national health system: the wearable , in fact, allow us to monitor the health of patients in real time, allowing it to intervene only in case of actual need.

The year of bots

This will be possible thanks to the expected development in the field of bots. In 2016, in fact, it is expected that the technology related to automation software make strides, allowing us to dramatically increase the levels of productivity at work, but not only. The bots will play an increasingly key role in our daily lives: analyzing our choices, our tastes and our preferences will help in the selection process in any sector, from daily news to the dinner menu.



Quantum computing to the rescue

How Google teaches us, the future of computing moves from quantum. And if in 2015 it was down the wall of 1,000 qubits, it is likely that 2016 reserves surprises even more interesting in this area. Moreover, all the big names in the tech world are investing heavily in information Quantum: not only Google, but also IBM works hard to create quantum computers more powerful and reliable.



machine learning 2.0

Neural Networks more and more advanced and developed allow us to go beyond the limits of artificial intelligence today. Thanks to the support of computer systems increasingly powerful and refined, we will be faced with machines able to independently analyze the world around them and learn as new information and concepts. With deep neural nets you will be faced with a new type of machine learning , capable of analyzing increasingly large datasets and databases ( bigger date ) and seem, in their own way, intelligent.

The era of autonomous objects

The automation software will inevitably large consequences also at a level of automation of the objects and means. In the near future autonomous vehicles and smart and personal digital assistants will be on the agenda are an example of the car that drives itself and Google voice assistants like Siri, Google Now, Cortana and Amazon Echo. Relying on increasingly powerful hardware infrastructure and a greater amount of data on which to base decisions and answers, these agents will become more autonomous, getting to interact naturally (or almost) with their owners.

virtual reality

Knowledge increased

Even if we do not make it fully account , we live now in the age of telepathy digital . Thanks to our activities on the web – whatever it is – you are able to influence the thinking and choices of people thousands of kilometers away from our computer station. We are therefore able to send information from the brain to the brain without physical contact, direct or indirect, that is. And thanks to the developments that will be recorded in areas such as virtual reality and augmented reality you can soon “increase” their skills thanks to neural microcomputer implanted under the skin. Scientists at the University of Southern California, just as an example, have developed mnemonic prosthesis that would allow anyone to recover full memory also suffering severe brain damage. In the case of stroke, for example, simply reload memories and ability to return to live in a “normal”.



The Internet platform

In the evolution proposed technology will play a key role new platforms of the Internet of things in development. These platforms will be to ensure a heterogeneous objects can interact freely and without boundaries whatsoever. There will be no more distinctions between apps, devices and interfaces, but all taking place in a connected and interactive world.
