Top Emerging Technologies to Learn in 2021 (Part2)

Virtual Reality/ Augmented Reality:

The exceptional technology trend to be named – VR, AR, and Extended Reality. Virtual reality let the consumer immerse in the environment, and augmented reality enhances the environment. Although it was primarily used only for gaming purposes, lately, it also led to the training of the U.S. navy, army and coast guard captains by providing virtual ships.

Further, the following year, we are expected to see the VR/AR used in entertainment, education, marketing and even rehabilitation after an injury. Although it doesn’t need any specialized knowledge, basic programming skills and a futuristic mindset are all required.

BlockChain:

Many times block chain is associated with cryptocurrency security, but there is more to it. Blockchain is described as the data that can only be added and not deleted or changed. Therefore, the erm chain is used, as it makes the chain of data. No third party can look into the data or validate transactions without any authority.

Several industries are imputing blockchain technology to specialize in developing, implementing architecture and solutions using blockchains.

Internet of Things (IoT):

The new promising technology trend is IoT. As in today’s time, many things are built with WiFi connectivity, connecting to the internet. It is the future and enabled some devices such as home appliances, cars, and more like exchanging data on the internet.

As per the forecast, by 2030, around 50 billion IoT devices will be used worldwide, creating a massive web of interconnected devices ranging from smartphones to kitchen appliances. The global spending on the (IoT) is forecasted to reach 1.1 trillion U.S. dollars in 2022.

Cyber Security:

Cyber security might not seem like trending technology, given that it has been around for a while, but it is evolving just as other technologies are. That’s in part because threats are constantly new. The evil hackers trying to access data illegally will not give up any time soon, and they will continue to find ways to get through even the most challenging security measures. It’s also in part because new technology is being adapted to enhance security. Cybersecurity will remain a trending technology as long as we have hackers because it will constantly evolve to defend against those hackers.

As proof of the vital need for cybersecurity professionals, cybersecurity jobs are growing three times faster than other tech jobs. Also, the need for proper cybersecurity is so high that by 2021, $6 trillion will be spent globally on cybersecurity.
