Bombastic Technologies That Changed the World

There are a number of technological innovations that are believed to have the greatest impact and even change the world. Technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), internet of things (IoT), 5G, and others are considered to provide new growth opportunities, capabilities and solutions in the post-pandemic world.

The following is a summary, as reported by the official website of the CompTIA Emerging Technology Community.

1. Artificial Intelligence (AI)

AI or artificial intelligence refers to hard-wired algorithms that automatically break down and apply knowledge. From security to sales applications in businesses of all sizes, AI is the biggest force in today's new technology.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one of the most transformative technological evolutions. AI systems are now frequently used in economics, science, medicine, engineering and the military, to self-driving cars because they have been built into several home computer software and video game applications.

Most companies today, such as Amazon, Google, and Microsoft, which have a wide range of coverage, have started to explore how they can use AI, to improve customer experience, and streamline their business operations, custom engineering is required to apply it to specific tasks.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology benefits

AI helps in reducing errors and the chances of achieving accuracy with a higher level of precision
AI and robotics can be used in mining and exploration processes
As an application that helps every day, for example Apple has Siri or Cortana to help its users.
Digital assistant - Highly advanced companies use "avatars" which are replicas or digital assistants that users can actually interact with
Repeat jobs that are monotonous can be done with the help of AI
Medical applications - It provides them with information about the side effects of various drugs. A popular application of AI is radiosurgery.
Tireless - They are programmed for hours and can continue to work on tasks without getting bored or distracted or even tired.

2. 5G

The advancement of 5G network technology which has low latency, smart power consumption, and high-speed connections make it a breakthrough and opportunity for the entire industry. 5G makes it possible to run augmented reality (AR) programs, smart cities, and autonomous cars.

Fifth Generation Having a data transfer from one phone to another at a speed of one millisecond, it can be possible to download videos, movies or other media in just a few seconds.

Currently, not all cellphones can use the 5G network, only a few products from several brands can use it, and the networks available in a number of areas are still limited at this time.

Benefits of 5G technology

The 5G network can help urban planning with mixed reality technology which we often call Augmented Reality / Virtual Reality (AR / VR)
The 5G connection allows users to download and upload videos at high speed and maximize video calling
A 5G connection can open up opportunities for the development of the cloud gaming industry
Business people can take advantage of this connection in monitoring the mobilization of goods in warehouses or factories (industrial technology 4.0)

3. Internet of Things (IoT)

Is a computational concept that describes the idea of everyday physical objects that are connected to the internet and able to identify themselves to other devices, such as QR codes but using sensors without human intervention, an object or device can detect and collect data.

The IoT technology brings together information from a series of connected devices that gives birth to an analytics system. These platforms, devices and data sets have the potential to provide new business insights, efficiencies and opportunities.

In the future with local technology, the household appliances will work on their own, the vacuum cleaner works without owner control, the air conditioner can raise or lower the temperature according to the humidity, the thermometer can detect and say your body temperature, and most likely the house can detect and say the weather of the day this.

Internet of Things (IoT) technology benefits

Facilitate the connectivity process - The first benefit of IoT is to facilitate the connectivity process between devices or machines
Achieved efficiency - Thus, human activities and performance will be more assisted by the presence of IoT.
Increase the effectiveness of monitoring activities - By using the internet of things, the effectiveness of controlling and monitoring a job becomes easier.

4. Biometric

Biometrics will play an important role in enhancing security allowing people and devices to authenticate without restrictions.

Currently, biometric technology is increasingly being found in various electronic devices such as attendance machines, computers to smartphones. This body part scanning technology reflects the development of increasingly advanced technology.

Besides being easier, biometric technology is also more accurate as a security system. The increasing number of criminal cases that occur due to breaches of security systems using passwords, making the biometric system a better security system option.

Biometric technology is a technology that utilizes parts of the human body to gain access to a software system. To get this access, scans are carried out on body parts such as fingerprints, eyes and face of a person.

Parts of the human body that have been used in this technology include the retina of the eye, facial expressions, fingerprints, and voice. This can minimize breaches of a security system because the characteristics of the human body are unique so that they cannot be the same as others.

Benefits of biometric technology

Can identify accurately
Make it easy for users
It's hard to fake

5. Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality (AR/VR)

AR / VR, also known as mixed reality technology, is changing the way we engage with machines, data and each other. Several companies use mixed reality, AI, and sensor technology to increase execution flexibility, operational efficiency and individual productivity.

Augmented reality / Virtual Reality itself is a technology related to the real world. Now, there are a lot of social media that use augmented reality technology, for example the filter feature on Instagram.

If you use filters on Instagram, something that is pointed at the camera will change. This technology is known as augmented reality.

Apart from marketing, augmented reality technology can also be used in manufacturing.

Benefits of Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality (AR/VR) technology

Speed up work
Controlling the Quality of Work
Accessing Data Directly
Minimizing Errors
Reducing the Maintenance Time of a Machine
Ease of Assembly
Train Employees

6. Blockchain

Blockchain is a solution for securing and managing transactions across the internet, as it provides a flexible alternative to centrally managed record keeping. This distributed 'ledger' technology is proven capable of managing data and supply chain challenges.

Blockchain is currently the most hype technology. Over the past 10 years, this technology has grown very rapidly, also catalyzed by soaring cryptocurrency prices and market cap.

Since then these applications have continued to be developed, new industries and new regulations have begun to emerge, the need for engineers has also continued to grow around the world.

We have seen the digitalization of information in the first wave of the internet in the last 10-20 years, then from now to the next 5-10 years with this technology we will see the digitalization of value, which is also called the "internet of value".

The benefits of blockchain technology

Blockchain technology can make digital goods unique
Safe data
Blockchain can get rid of middleman
Blockchain technology can upgrade the "sharing economy"
The data is in the hands of the user / customer
Blockchain could revolutionize the record keeping system

7. Quantum computing

Quantum computing is a machine that will drive the human ability to process and analyze big data and will be key to harnessing machine learning and the power of AI.

Quantum computers can be used to improve and speed up calculations such as weather simulations, cracking encryption codes, and machine learning processes. However, for office jobs such as Microsoft Word, Excel, and even web applications, mobile applications will still use a normal computer.

On a small scale, quantum computers have proven to be implemented. However, for a large scale to be able to calculate with large amounts of data, there are still many problems that need to be resolved so that currently there is no quantum computer that can be used to solve problems on a large scale in the real world.

Walk into the future. With the technology that will be made, it will certainly make it easier for us and more informative.
