Which is the best technology to learn in 2022?
Innovation in technology is happening at a rapid pace today. However, it is not only technology trends and emerging technologies that are evolving, but a lot more has also changed due to the outbreak of COVID-19 making techies realize that their role may go obsolete tomorrow in a contactless world. Hence, continuous learning is inevitable to sustain and grow in the future.
Here are the emerging technologies to learn in 2022:
1. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning
More than a decade now, AI continues to be one of the new technology trends because of its evolving attributes. AI is already known for its dominance in image and speech recognition, navigation apps, smartphone personal assistants, ride-sharing apps and many more.
AI will be very much helpful to detect the changing patterns of customer behaviour, analysing data in real-time by which authorities could draw insights for business decisions. These insightful decisions will generate revenue, and also enhance personalized customer experiences.
Machine Learning is the subdomain of AI, is also being deployed in all kinds of industries, creating a huge demand for skilled professionals.
Mastering AI and machine learning will help you securing jobs like:
- AI Research Scientist
- AI Engineer
- Machine Learning Engineer
- AI Architect
2. Robotic Process Automation (RPA)
RPA is a type of software that automates business processes such as interpreting applications, processing transactions, dealing with data, and even replying to emails. Further, RPA automates monotonous tasks too.
RPA offers plenty of career opportunities like RPA Developer, RPA Analyst, and RPA Architect.
3. Edge Computing
Edge computing is designed to help solve the problems caused by cloud computing in getting data to a data centre for processing. It brings computation closer to the network edge, optimizing IoT devices and web applications.
Edge computing is transforming how data is generated, stored, processed, analysed, and transported by billions of IoT and other devices.
Edge computing will help you grab new opportunities like:
- Cloud Reliability Engineer
- Cloud Infrastructure Engineer
- Cloud Architect and Security Architect
- DevOps Cloud Engineer
4. Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality
Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) have electrifying possibilities in the future of gaming, marketing, e-commerce, education, and many other fields. Both these technologies are known for their enhanced experience that brings together a virtual world and the real one with enhanced, 3-D visuals.
VR and AR would create new opportunities which includes the following:
- Software engineering and development
- Project management
- Software maintenance
- Graphic design
5. Blockchain
Blockchain is a digital environment that is controlled only by its users. There are no mediators or owners in blockchain network.
It is a decentralized, distributed network that includes thousands of nodes that are interconnected. Each transaction in a blockchain network is validated by all nodes and processed through the network which means the possibility of human error or failure is nil.
Blockchain technology has many applications in an array of sectors including digital security, finance, cloud computing, voting, cryptocurrency exchange and many more.
Blockchain can help you to excel your career in a various fields and industries:
- Risk Analyst
- Tech Architect
- Crypto Community Manager
- Front End Engineer
6. IoT (Internet of Things)
IoT connects numerous devices and therefore allows different devices to communicate with each other in the same network.
The best example for IoT will be smart homes where there are refrigerators, television, Air Conditioner, etc., all these devices will connect to the network and manage it by using a common interface through voice guidance and physical means.
So, IoT is the technology where they can make the process more cost-efficient and effective.
7. Fintech
Fintech is the other new technology in 2022 which would enhance the way financial transactions are managed and performed. The most common examples of it includes global payment transfer, cryptocurrency, UPI, internet banking, etc.
All these applications integrated with technologies like UPI and blockchain to make digital payments more affordable, faster, and secure.
The main factor is that there is still more to accomplish in the Fintech industry and the opportunities to build new apps and solutions inspired by it are numerous. For instance, you can develop a digital payment app but use cryptocurrencies as the default way of payment.
We believe 2022 will be another good year for digital transformation based on our industry knowledge and analyst’s market research. We will see lots of new emerging technology trends maturing and new ones rising. Regardless of what the technology is about, all of these will have an impact on everyone and transform how we live in this modern hybrid work environment.
We cannot wait to hear about what you have in mind and the goals you want to achieve to drive the future of your business!
