Top 6 Emerging Technologies For 2022

Technologies have turned out to be the future of our world. They have already pierced their way into our day-to-day life. Right from waking up until our slumber, we have multiple technologies covering us. We got integrated into these technologies so much that we don’t even realize their presence around us. They engulfed us completely.

We have tons of them already ingrained into our routine. Yet some new technologies are innovated and the existing ones are upgraded daily. We, humans, develop them and in turn, these technologies enhance humankind as a whole. Here are a few of such inventions that are being developed, which are expected to create a bang in 2022. 

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Artificial Intelligence is an already existing technology whose existence can be traced back to 1956. But the dominance of AI has happened only in the past couple of decades. AI is helping us in every aspect of our life. They have upgraded themselves in space explorations, medicine, weather forecast and many more. It is highly expected that AI would further create a huge impact in the future for the well-being of humanity. They might create a revolution in the medical and tech industry. AI’s market growth is skyrocketing in recent years. It is anticipated that the AI industry will turn a $190 billion market by 2025.

Quantum Computing

Quantum Computing is an advanced system of computations that uses various properties of an object like its earlier state, interference and many other probabilities to arrive at a solution. It is a rapidly emerging technology in recent years. Quantum Computers help in solving many complex and critical problems that modern computers cannot. They are evolving themselves in terms of performance year by year. Many tech giants like Google, Microsoft, AWS are exploring Quantum Computing. Any results or output from them can stir up the Quantum industry as a whole in 2022. Even the Indian Army has set up a Quantum Computing Lab in Madhya Pradesh to strengthen the armed forces with such transformative technologies.

Blockchain

Blockchains are revolutionizing industries worldwide. Cryptocurrencies, like Bitcoins, are some of the widely spoken topics in the past couple of years. Blockchain is a consensus-driven market, thus making your blocks highly secure. The control of your blocks will be in two hands hence no single entity can possess your blocks. In simple, blockchain creates a secure chain of data that lies safely in your control and not on any third party. As they are progressing quickly, a lot of industries and companies worldwide are implementing blockchain as a part of their business. Even many governments are considering developing their own cryptocurrencies. Though the blockchains have a decade-long history, their growth in recent years is encouraging. 2022 will have a promising effect on Cryptos and Blockchains.

5G

5G had finally started making some noise in 2021 and it is sure to find its spot in 2022. As the need for internet services is growing, an increased bandwidth becomes necessary. Most of our daily activities and work are turning out to be internet-based. The Covid lockdown has made everything online. With such a requirement, the demand for high-speed internet technologies will soar in the future. 5G comes as the first solution to this. Many companies like Apple and Qualcomm have already started developing applications for the 5G technology. It is expected that 5G will take over almost half of the world by 2024. As all the other tech and non-tech developments are based on the internet, this 5G technology would serve as a base for their growth.

Metaverse

Metaverse is the latest and popular trend of 2021. That too with Facebook’s change of name to ‘Meta’, the term Metaverse almost became a household name. Metaverse is a combination of Virtual and Augmented reality that provides an online world for users. This term was first coined in a 1992 sci-fi novel, which now has become a reality. It involves the creation of a separate virtual universe. Even before we understood what it is, the software real estate business for buying virtual properties has seen a boom. This technology is growing much faster than we think, although it is 8-10 years away from completely submerging us. With various companies stepping into the metaverse, it is evident that metaverse will bring a difference in the way we use technology from 2022.

Edge Computing

Edge Computing reduces the time taken to process data between devices in the cloud. Even though it usually takes only a few minutes, continuous processing of large data consumes a significant amount of time. Hence Edge Computing was designed to overcome this disadvantage over Cloud Computing. It is designed in such a way as to elude the delay caused by the cloud. Edge Computing can be used for processing time-sensitive data. This technology might be a primary need for the upcoming years, starting with 2022.

Conclusion

As said earlier, there are a lot of technologies that keep emerging every year. But listed here are just six of the mind-blowing technologies that proved promising and could create an impact in 2022. If you believe in any other technology that might strike and bring about a change in the current year, leave a comment below.
