Based on Hackermoon’s 2019 technology prediction, this could be the year that Facebook created a new bank, Twitter went into oblivion, and the first VR shopping technology was launched. However, such predictions often have unsatisfactory results. Let’s find out which 2019 has brought us the most prominent trends in the technology market.
In 2019, more than 26 billion smart devices connect to the internet, and 127 new devices get online every second. This includes all devices in smart home systems (refrigerators, washing machines, etc.), smart cities (traffic lights, barriers, etc) and smart agriculture (soil and soil sample analysis equipment. water, greenhouses, etc).
The two biggest applications of IoT in 2019 are health care (smart watch, etc) and manufacturing industry. The discrete manufacturing industry holds the largest share with 53% of total IoT investment of industries in 2019. More than 80% of industrial manufacturing companies are also investing in IoT through investment. upgrading machines and equipment, this brings about efficiency in production as well as bringing out higher quality products to customers.
If you believe in Steve Wozniak’s latest forecast, self-driving cars still have a long way to go. Apple cofounder did not think that this technology could be released in such a short time.
However, the number of vehicles supporting self-driving technologies is constantly increasing, including applications such as: autopilot, lane control, etc. The list of over 200 vehicles from 33 famous brands is ready for the future of this industry.
The popularity of electric vehicles is increasing every year with dominance in the Norwegian market (where up to 60% of all electric cars are marketed in March 2019), and China ( market 1.1 million units sold in 2018). In the United States, car sales in 2018 increased by 81% compared to 2017 and is expected to increase even more with the price of energy batteries is at the current profit level (the price has decreased from $ 5,000 in 1995. to $ 400 in 2016).
Technology is becoming more and more advanced, businesses are focusing more on investing in their shipping services. More recently, Amazon invested more than 100,000 electric minivans, and DHL has put into operation more than 63 units in 2019 as part of a plan to reduce logistics-related emissions to 0% by 2050.
Even the top experts in the world find it difficult to define what is the supply chain. Hacker Noon describes that “It is a data structure that stores transaction records while ensuring confidentiality, transparency and decentralization.”
Creating cryptocurrencies, such as bitcoin, is one of the most prominent applications of today’s supply chain technology. By September 2019, there were about 3571 bitcoin ATMs in the US, and the bitcoin market jumped from $ 1.48 billion in 2013 to $ 144.96 billion in Q3 2019.
Supply chain technology can be used to process claims, smart transactions, decode, store health data and own music.
