Before starting the new year and after reviewing the most successful technological advances of 2016, we want to share what awaits us about the technological future for 2017.
Each year innovation increases and new products and services are created to meet the needs that arise in society. This year we have been able to see how the virtual reality or artificial intelligence market has grown.
First of all, it is necessary to highlight that the digital environment is the main space in which companies have to move. Your objectives have to focus on this sector. Computers, websites and apps are already part of our day to day. The world has gone digital.
What technological future does next year hold for us?
First of all, it is necessary to highlight that the digital environment is the main space in which companies have to move. Your objectives have to focus on this sector. Computers, websites and apps are already part of our day to day. The world has gone digital.
Cloud Computing
The arrival and consolidation of Cloud Computing is undeniable. In 2017 we expect more companies to join the cloud. Both public and private companies will use the cloud to improve their work and gain flexibility at work. This will increase efficiency, data management and business avoiding storage problems.The evolution of digital screens
The latest LG TV has a screen less than 3mm thick, is it possible? This screen is as thin as a sheet of paper. Many technology companies are developing more flexible screens to save space and gain comfort without diminishing their properties. In addition to televisions, computers and mobile phones are also developing technology to achieve increasingly thinner screens but with the same quality. An example of how these devices will be can be seen in the Samsung Flex: a flexible phone with curved designs that can be folded practically in half.The Internet of Things
We already live permanently connected to our computers or our smartphones. Thanks to the development of the Internet of Things (IoT) we will be able to have our homes or city infrastructures connected. This will generate improvements in the management of industries or transport, and will even facilitate teleworking in a more efficient way. Some companies have already started to innovate their products. For example, smart home appliances from brands like Samsung or Whirlpool are able to automatically buy the detergent or tablets they need. In the near future we will forget about having to do the shopping or do the housework. Thanks to the Internet of Things, our everyday objects will be able to do it autonomously.5G networks
Although the 5G network is scheduled to start operating from 2020, in the next year we will be able to witness a great advance that will let us see how these networks will transform the way in which we connect and in which we relate to the world. . The 5G network will increase connections and allow us to be connected to everything. Both our friends, family and co-workers as well as our car or our refrigerator.We welcome organ bioprinters
The company Organovo has developed the first bioprinter capable of creating custom organs . It works by creating cell by cell individually, to avoid rejection at the time of being transplanted. Although it still takes a few years to become fully available, this bioprinter will represent a technological breakthrough for the healthcare sector. Each individual cell is based on cells from a sample obtained from the client’s body. This avoids rejection by the patient. According to Organovo, the veins and arteries will be available in 5 years, and other more complex organs, such as the heart and liver, in 10.The app industry continues to grow
Applications are not far behind in the technological future. According to data collected by Statista , it is expected that in 2017 there will be 268 billion downloads of apps. These very positive data confirm that the use of apps is increasing. There is no doubt that the money invested in this sector will also see a considerable increase. As for the markets; iOs and Android will continue to be the main stores from which users download apps. Also, the freemium model will account for more than 90% of the app downloads . In 2017 there will also be an increase in mobile applications for the sector of fitness and well-being. Almost 42 million people will have mobile applications to improve their well-being. These applications will be intended to simplify and improve the lives of users. Greater importance will also be given to strengthening app security against computer attacks. This is a great challenge for developers, but will increase consumer confidence when downloading or entering their personal data. For our part, at King of App we will continue working to adapt to the evolution of the mobile world and to cover the needs that exist in society. Our goal is that you can create the apps you need with a lower investment of time and money. These are our predictions about the technological future for 2017, what are yours?
