After looking at the JWT trends summary I had a look at the internet of things which was quite interesting to look at.
It was useful to see how technology has changed; from the start of computers moving on to the use of mobiles and now looking to how we can interact with our devices even more with things such as ‘smart’ technology being introduced.
The interactive presentation highlight four key areas which are Technology, Innovation, Domains and Application. In short it started with domains which required no human input, then the middle stage is where technology and innovation comes in as this is where mobile technology is introduced; allowing people to communicate and stay on top of all things social. Finally comes the application which is looking at ways we can control our technology and so that it is tailored to the user.
The interactive also lists items which have been developed/ created due to the advancement in technology which shows that many things have benefited from the always improving technology. Also shown was the areas in which its being used and the challenges that come with the technology market.
There were some statistics in the presentation which showed that in the future we will rely on technology even more than we currently do. For example the market value is currently $2.3 trillion and by 2020 its expected to rise to $14.6 trillion which shows that the demanding for technology is increasing and the other statistics you can see to the right back this up.
