The way that technology evolves dictates the trajectory that the world takes. As we’re getting more and more sophisticated in the field of technology, it’s just a matter of time before every aspect of our lives becomes as automated, streamlined, and straightforward as possible – that is the endgame, right?
Well, you’d be half correct in that assumption. While technology’s main role is to expand the collective human race, the past year has shown us just how powerless we can be in the grand scheme of things. 2020 is the new 2012, and it’s been far worse than it’s an up-and-coming candidate for the worst year that millennials have ever experienced.
The future falls on the young, and the young are continually trying to improve themselves and expand what we can do as a species, and the key to that is investing in the world of technology.
The Current State of Tech
While still very young, 2021 has been a rocky road for tech. Billionaire Jack Ma seems to have disappeared for a while. Elon Musk overtook Jeff Bezos as the world’s richest person, and the coronavirus has stagnated the development of many promising technologies.
Be that as it may, it’s not all doom and gloom. Cloud-native technology is spreading like wildfire, CMS solutions are getting more and more sophisticated, and things such as IoT, AI, ML, and Big Data have skyrocketed in popularity.
Following this rhetoric, it’s safe to say that technology’s future seems bright, and 2021 is the breeding ground for new ideas and refining development.
The Tech of Tomorrow
Today’s trends will dictate tomorrow’s technology, and 2021 seems to have quite a lot of them. From developments that promise to change the way we live our day-to-day lives to some simple changes that make our lives that much more comfortable, everything we can expect tomorrow is rooted in today’s developments.
What makes today’s developments stand out from the ocean of experimental tech is the trends that situate them on the list of possibilities. The better suited a technology is for implementation, financing, and development, the higher its chances of mainstream use.
Take the domain industry as an example. Domains used to be this simple, straightforward, and effortless thing. You could buy one out of the blue, and that was it; all you needed to do is fill it up with something.
Nowadays, with SEO, ranking, and a range of other things being the priority, domains are the main driving force that dictates the overall probability of success of any given website, so it’s essential to get them right. Saw.com, an industry leader, has had this to say on the topic of purchasing gTLDs (Generic top-level domains):
“People are more accustomed to a .com currently at present than a .today or a .XYZ. A. com is commonplace, so if you’re going to take that domain and not just rely on SEO, but repeat business, advertising, things like that, you want to get the .com. It’s a vital thing that you do that. “
Websites, nanotechnology, and informational technology – while they’re all very different, share the same requirements. All need to be accepted and anticipated, all need to fill a particular preset purpose, and all need funding.
Tech Trends of Twenty Twenty-One
Technology is not a philanthropic entity that serves for the betterment of the human race. It’s a business. Like any business, it has some trends that reshape it every so often.
The tech trends of 2021 are abundant in number, influence, and potential – and as time goes on, more and more of them are peaking their heads above the water.
Some of the most prominent and influential trends of 2021 are:
- Work from home innovations
- Aerospace developments
- Nanotechnology
- Smart automation
- Blockchain & Cryptocurrency
- Cloud & Big Data
- IoT developments
- ML and AI sophistication
Aside from these few that make up the pinnacle of technology in 2021, there are many, many less prominent but still up-and-coming solutions that seem to be popping up. Outside of all expectations, the pandemic has reaped progress, and we’re just edging forward to a new, automated, tech-filled age.
The Bottom Line
The year 2020 might have been turbulent, but as of 2021, we’re more accustomed to living in the pandemic conditions than we ever were. In other words, this year is the year of change. More than a few industries will change from the ground up for the better, meaning that we have a whole lot to look forward to this year.
