Internet of things

This basically refers to internet and tech capacity being embedded in everyday objects allowing us to control and use them with smart devices and voice controls.


You can already see the internet of things in devices like Alexa, Google Home and other smart home bots. You’ll also see a growing number of smart devices which can be controlled by your device or voice.


This might be light globes, home heating, curtains; practically anything that you might use as a convenience device could be part of the internet of things.


Automation everywhere

Remember a time when you had to go to the grocery store and a physical person would scan your groceries and charge for your them? Us neither. Just kidding – we totally do recall, but the point is that things are changing fast and automation is happening all across the world in various forms.


We can expect to see stores becoming fully automated, in addition to payment methods. Where once you might have had to pull out a card or even your phone, now you will have a chip or a wearable device which registers you as being the person to pay. You can expect to see more automation rolling out over 2020 and beyond.


Cryptocurrencies

We are going to see a whole lot more cryptocurrency being used as companies see the value of this digital exchange. As these coins work out their own issues and get bugs sorted, you can expect to see more cryptocurrencies becoming mainstream as we move into 2020.


You might have seen cryptocurrencies being used to make payment for all sorts of items, from pizza through to property.


Blockchain

Cryptocurrency is a form of technological money exchange, while blockchain is the ledger that holds it all together. This decentralised ledger allows for technological transactions to take place safely in a way where tracking and accessing information is paramount.


Things like property conveyancing can take place using blockchain, for example.


AI (Artificial Intelligence)

You can expect to see more and more AI being used to solve a variety of problems around the world, from making changes in how we access information through to providing services.


AI is a huge market with a lot of potential, and we are excited to see the way in which this technology shapes our future in 2020 and beyond. We can expect to see AI being used in transport, ordering, shopping, social media, services, and more.
