Technology, media and communications: Global trends

Updated: Aug 25, 2023



Technology today is advancing quite rapidly, empowering quicker change, and progress, causing a speedy increase in the pace of progress, in the digital world as well. Notwithstanding, it isn't just new technology world trends and innovative advancements that are emerging, much more has changed for the current year because of the episode of COVID-19, causing IT experts to understand that their job won't remain something very similar now knowing that virtual is a new reality. What makes the fourth industrial revolution stand out from its predecessors is the merging and interaction between multiple world technology trends, all at once. Greater network accessibility and capability will motivate broad shifts in the business landscape, from the digitization of manufacturing (through wireless control of mobile technology, machines and robots) to decentralizing energy delivery and remote patient monitoring. Here are a few trends that we foresee in the next few decades:

1. Connectivity and economic boost Quicker computerized associations, fueled by 5G and the IoT, hold the potential to kickstart economic activity, to such an extent that executing faster connections in "portability, medical care, manufacturing, and retail could increase worldwide GDP by $1.2 trillion to $2 trillion by 2030." 5G and IoT will be one of the most-watched tech patterns for the next 10 years. (Per Mckinsey) As connectivity expands its reach and improves, global communication will become increasingly instantaneous for more and more people. Wearable technology and biosensors will improve health and fitness. Autonomous vehicles will significantly improve travel safety. Manufacturers will integrate with top research and development teams to leverage evolving technologies and create the most efficient processes for producing longer-lasting, cost-efficient products.

2. Increasing automation and virtualization

More than half of all existing work activities could be automated in the next few decades, as next-level process automation and virtualization become more commonplace. Automation is important because some of the greatest costs in enterprise IT come from operational expenditures. A good virtualization strategy lays the foundation for greater task automation, giving you the privilege to do more with the computing resources available. How does virtualization make this possible? The answer could be hardware abstraction, as virtualization makes it possible to standardize platforms. This homogenization of the computational environment simplifies task automation. It also helps in the continuous struggle for budget allocations because it’s much easier to make a business case for developing tools that apply to the full portfolio of applications than it is to fund the automation of each service individually “By 2025, more than 50 billion devices will be connected to the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT),” McKinsey predicts. Robots, automation, 3D printing, and more will generate around 79.4 zettabytes of data per year. 3. Applied Artificial Intelligence (AI) We can readily be content with 2021 being a breakthrough year in the field of artificial intelligence; and 2022 as a year dedicated to shaping up to be the same. The Covid-19 pandemic has affected numerous parts of how we deal with business in the post-pandemic era, yet it hasn't reduced the effect AI is having on our lives. Truth be told, it's become obvious that self-teaching algorithms and smart machines will have a major impact in the continuous battle against this episode of Covid-19 as well as others we might look at from here on out. The growth in the facets of scientific discoveries and medical literature alone is enormous, with nearly 28,000 papers published by April 2020 relating to Covid-19. A dedicated search engine powered by natural language processing (NLP) algorithms has already been made available, so anyone can get AI assistance when investigating this massive dataset. (Forbes publishes) By 2024, AI-created discourse will be behind over half of the individuals' connections with PCs. Organizations are looking for ways of utilizing AI successfully. However, any organization can get great worth from AI if it's applied really and in a repeatable manner, despite one-fourth of respondents reporting a huge primary concern influence. Soon, we will encounter more unstructured information organized with normal language handling and AI processes. Organizations will use these technological advances and make information that RPA (robotic process automation) or mechanical cycle mechanization innovation can involve when they need to computerize value-based action in an organization. RPA is one of the fastest developing regions in the software industry. 4. Cybersecurity As per the World Economic Forum, cybercrime has recently been recognized as a major risk to global prosperity. The forum expressed the urgency of the situation by urging the world to jointly address it. The rising dependency of mankind on machines exposes us to vulnerable cybercrimes because every device connected to the internet allows the cyber-intruder to exploit its loopholes. And since connected technologies are becoming increasingly complicated, it's almost like a needle in the hay to pick out and address existing loopholes. AI can play a vital role in identifying suspicious activities. Therefore, we can expect some significant developments in the use of AI in cybersecurity in 2022.

A milestone in communications

The majority of a professional communicator’s work revolves around technology that helps companies communicate with their stakeholders, create awareness, increase conversions among consumers, and track the results of their efforts. Although every industry is bound to be affected by technology trends that continue to emerge in the new year, those working in the field of professional communications stand to sense the impact of recent technological advances, developments and use cases more than others. Making first-party data your topmost priority has been perceived as one of the significant trends for 2022. Marking a milestone towards a cookie-less world, where third-party cookies will no longer hamper business, consumer insights, and progress, organizations will have to invest in solutions that make the most out of first-party data. This will also ensure that advertising and consumer base targeting are unbiased by relying on durable individual identifiers such as emails and phone numbers. (says Priyank Shrivastava, Adobe). First-party data-driven solutions with AI (Artificial Intelligence) and machine learning will help communicators reach the right person at the right moment. Experts from various IT facets have promoted and encouraged greater use of data analytics to drive ABM campaigns. We are all inundated with emails, banner ads, and videos vying for our attention. In 2022, greater utilization of data and analytics to drive account-based marketing campaigns and platforms that increase personalization and use of interactive elements will be critical, per Forbes. In 2022, communications and marketing squads will leverage more in-product and in-app insights, giving them competitive advantage by offering transparency to their users and what drives growth and customer lifelong value. In a recent development, top-tier companies have found more marketers using product data, demonstrating that customer-facing teams can benefit from product data to drive better decisions and outcomes, which gradually pave the way for fruitful consumer insights. Consumer-centric use of technology is witnessing wide-scale recognition.

Metaverse of digital media

Screen-based entertainment has evolved, surpassing the demand for TV and movies. Streamers and studios have been constantly challenged to attract and retain younger generations who have grown up with smartphones, social media, and video games, which stand for finely tuned experiences that are social, interactive, and immersive. So, while SVOD (streaming video-on-demand) providers may have disrupted TV and movies, the medium—and its business models—still look much the same as when they were created 15 years ago. As a result, the social media space has expanded and evolved dramatically. Digital media services, majorly social media management, now deliver desirable and personalized feeds of images, videos, music, news, gaming, and shoppable media to billions of online users, all promoted by social networking and provided at zero cost. Top service providers are adding new lines of revenue by setting up retail destinations on social media and similar digital platforms, along with leveraging influencers and creator economies to reinforce engagement and purchasing. Artificial intelligence (AI) will continue to have a transitional impact throughout the digital media industry. The three most important functions in the universe of digital media will be recommendation, voice recognition, and media automation. Since the arrival of Netflix and streaming services has paved the way we discover and consume entertainment media, every provider has indulged in recommendations with audiences that will find it valuable. Netflix has said that 80% of its content delivery is achieved through recommendations, and it, as well as all other streaming providers, will be competing to improve on this score throughout 2022. Altogether, we can evidently see the impact of digital connectivity and its budding nature giving businesses around the globe an opportunity to prosper. From technology trends to communications to the metaverse of digital media, nowadays, a fruitful business and client experience relies upon seamless connectivity, and the people who put resources into the most up-to-date digital technology will start to lead the pack. An obsolete digital infrastructure makes one ward upon downstream correspondence for data that will impact your choices. Considerably more than we might understand, digital connectivity has influenced each aspect of our lives, from going to the physician to shopping at the store. For organizations to convey their items or administrations and for clients to utilize them, connectivity has become basic. As these patterns spread into the developing world, connectivity necessities will detonate, requiring new degrees of safety and fix as they develop. This may not present the rosiest of pictures, yet don't be apprehensive. Engage yourself and get a sense of responsibility for your own business- that is the future of digital connectivity.
