Technology in 2019 - Xtreme UG

Its 6am in the morning ….time to wake up for work,Ronah wakes up, first thing to do immediately after saying the morning prayer is to check her mobile phone for messages on WhatsApp, trending stories on Twitter, nice shots on Instagram. "This has become an addiction” she says.

this is not only happening to her, people have been addicted to the internet since everything can be accessed from there, Ronah says “my day is complete with my phone, since I can be able to do get everything from it such as travel tips, beauty tips with just a slide east west”. Technology is making everything become easier day per day, we are in the new year (2019) these are some of the trends that made 2018 but still crossed to 2019 and how they are making lives and day to day activities a simple walkover. Seamless conversation. A few years ago, voice search was decent, but unreliable. Today, voice search might as well be flawless; Microsoft’s latest test gives its voice recognition software a 5.1 percent error rate, making it better at recognizing speech than human transcribers. Similarly, robotic speech and chatbots are growing more sophisticated. In 2019 with these improvement cycles continuing. We'll be able to communicate with our devices, both ways, without any major hiccups or mistakes. White collar automation. Is your job likely to be replaced by a machine? How certain are you of that answer? AI has been advancing enough to replace at least some white collar jobs for years; even back in 2013, we had algorithms that could write basic news articles, given sufficient inputs of data. Is 2019 going to be the year all humans are finally replaced by their new robot overlords? . I think it’s naïve to think that jobs will be fully replaced, but they will be more heavily automated, and we’ll have to adapt our careers accordingly. 5G preparation. Though tech timelines rarely play out the way we think, it’s possible that we could have a 5G network in place — with 5G phones — by the end of 2019. 5G internet has the potential to be almost 10 times faster than 4G, making it even better than most home internet services. Accordingly, it has the potential to revolutionize how consumers use internet and how developers think about apps and streaming content. 2018, then, is going to be a year of massive preparation for engineers, developers, and consumers, as they gear up for a new generation of internet. Digital centralization. Over the past decade, we’ve seen the debut of many different types of devices, including smartphones, tablets, smart TVs, and dozens of other “smart” appliances. We’ve also come to rely on lots of individual apps in our daily lives, including those for navigation to even changing the temperature of our house. Consumers are craving centralization; a convenient way to manage everything from as few devices and central locations as possible. Smart speakers are a good step in the right direction, but 2019 may influence the rise of something even better. It’s hard to say how fast these trends will manifest, or what types of devices and upgrades will dictate their development, but I’m confident we’ll see increased exposure on all these fronts as 2019develops. Regardless of how you feel about technology, or your primary motivations for using it, I think we can all be excited about the new gadgets and infrastructure that await us this year.
