We live in an age where everything revolves around data. Modern technology has made it possible to monitor, record and analyze everything around us in a quantifiable form. It also opens up a whole new world of possibilities that businesses can use to their advantage. Datafication is the latest in a series of data-driven, customer-centric business intelligence practices that are now changing the entire business landscape.
While world governments have their hands full dealing with pandemics, financial issues and a host of other problems, technology keeps evolving at a rapid pace, and so do cyber crooks. Apart from newer forms of cyber threats, even the oldest tricks in the book are not completely outdated for these cyber criminals. In order to bypass security measures specifically designed for them, they modify and update these tricks by thinking outside of the box. From data breaches and phishing to cyber activism and IT security software tools, cybercrime has rapidly taken on new methods that affect private bank cards, personal accounts and online shopping sites, just to name a few.
We live in an era in which the world has become more modern and advanced. Managing the increasing traffic is a big problem globally. A Smart Transportation System (STS) provides solutions to such problems with the help of new technologies; it is an attempt to integrate modern innovations into transportation systems, technologies that include cloud computing, wireless communication, location-based services, computer vision and other tools to improve mobility.
What does “energy efficiency” mean exactly? Energy efficiency stands for applying less energy while providing the same service. Humans nowadays are using much more energy than they need, and it’s impacting our world without us necessarily realizing it. For many operators, energy consumption has always been a significant consideration, as it is one of the highest operating costs. Today, though, it’s becoming even more significant due to climate change and sustainability considerations. The potential increase in data traffic (up to 1,000 times more) and the need for the infrastructure to handle it could make 5G consume up to 2-3 times more energy.
Businesses, universities and a wide range of other organizations have been introduced to a new element called the information system, which combines hardware and software with telecommunication networks that people can build to collect, create and distribute useful data. An information system is described as having five components:
As all digital things continue to accelerate, some technology trends matter more than others for companies and executives. While not always the coolest or most cutting-edge of the technologies, these high-value drivers draw the most venture capital and produce the most patent filings. They also have the biggest impact on how and where to compete as well as the capabilities needed to maximize performance and thus move into the future.
As we live in a digital world, things come at us at the speed of light, which is among the biggest benefits of the digital age. In the scope of human history, digitization has been a relatively recent development, but the continued need for trust has remained constant. The very concept of “trust,” however, can mean very different things in this new digital world as compared to its physical forebearer.
Mobile development has become a priority and the new normal for many businesses. Without embracing mobile-optimized solutions, companies undoubtedly risk losing a significant number of clients and lagging behind the competition. Since the security of sensitive data remains a primary focus with regard to mobile devices, more advanced technologies are being implemented to ensure their protection. To this end, the system of biometrics is gaining popularity.
There are billions of physical devices connected to the Internet around the world, all collecting and sharing data, and together forming the Internet of Things (IoT). Connecting a variety of objects and further adding sensors to introduce a new level of digital intelligence to devices enables real-time data communication without human involvement. The Internet of Things is making the world around us smarter and more responsive, merging the digital and physical universes.
The advent of the internet is a boon to human beings because it’s through the internet that we are able to get every piece of information in a matter of seconds. Imagine what would happen if you could see the things in 3D that you, until now, could only find on a 2D monitor; wouldn’t that feel like a miracle? Well, it’s happening right now, and the name of this miracle technology that takes us so deeply into virtual reality is the Metaverse. This technology has everything that today’s outside world has and much more, and is thus the burning topic at present.
