Nowadays Information Technology has became a backbone of our society. The way of business, transportation, communication, research and many other aspects are modernized by IT and it is not stopped, IT is continued to evolve things at a fast pace. Today, the world is experiencing major technological innovations and in the future even more advancements are expected.
Current Changes in Information Technology
1. Cloud Storages:
A few years ago people used to store files and data Hard Drives, USBs or Compact Disks, today those things are being replaced by Cloud (online) Platforms like Google Drive, iCloud & Microsoft Azure. These cloud storages are convenient, secure and scalable. Nowadays it has become a backbone for multiple businesses, organizations and management systems.
2. Artificial Intelligence:
Artificial Intelligence is no longer a concept of fiction. It is being used in everyday life in the form of tools like ChatGPT, Gemini and Grok which helps us to do tasks in minutes that would take hours to do without their use. Recommendation Algorithms on Youtube, Netflix, Instagram and other social media applications are assisted by AI which makes smarter decisions and displays us the content which we wish to view.
3. Blockchain Technology:
Blockchain technology allows us to store data in blocks which are chained (linked) together. This technology allows us to transfer data and transaction records in a secure, transparent and decentralized way. This is commonly associated with Cryptocurrency and is assumed to be the safest way of managing data. This is being used in Banking and Voting Systems.
4. Internet of Things:
Not only Computers and Smartphones but now all devices are shifting towards Internet connectivity. This makes managing, monitoring and controlling devices like Inverters, Refrigerators, Air Conditioners, etc, easier and accessible from any part of the world where the internet is available.
Expected Changes in Information Technology in Future
1. Increase in Adoption of Artificial Intelligence
AI is expected to move further from simple Chatting Bots and Assistants to to highly advanced systems capable of decision making in the Health Care, Law or even Governance. AI driven vehicles are already introduced in first world countries and in future AI Robots might be doing surgeries by themselves.
2. Strong Cybersecurity
Due to advancements in AI, the Cybersecurity in the future will be also more advanced and autonomous. These strong Cybersecurity Systems will be capable of stopping Cyber Attacks and Threats in real time and hence protecting important Data and Information. It is expected that in future the protection methods will be so strong that the fastest computers will also struggle to break them.
3. Smart Cities
The combination of Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence and High Speed Internet will create smart cities in which Traffic Lights, Electricity Management, Canal Systems and even Waste Management Systems will be interconnected and could be more easier to control and hence decreasing the use of man power and enhancing efficiency.
4. Virtual and Augmented Reality
In future Educational Institutions and Training Centers may use Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) to create a better and interactive learning environments in which the students will have a real Classroom experience and two way communication which will help to study even better and easier.
