What are your Tech, Engineering and IoT Predictions for 2019?

rscasny

EVERYBODY is predicting something these days. Some are predicting the stock market will go up, and there are others who say it will go down. There are AI predictions for 2019.image

There are of course American Superbowl predictions (visualize The Chicago Bears, please).

There are predictions about the Oscars (Best Picture, Actor, Actress, etc).

There are weather predictions. There are workplace predictions.

There are Hotel predictions.

There are even ANIMAL HOROSCOPE predictions (I guess for all the cat lovers in the world).

 

 

 

 

 

The element14 team wanted to get in on the fun of predictions for 2019. We thought you would too.

 

So, here's the question: What are your tech, engineering and/or IoT predictions for 2019?

 

Now, this covers a lot of ground.

 

So, let me help you get started.

 

You could answer this question in terms of:

 

Big Thingsimage

  • Transportation
  • Energy
  • Manufacturing
  • Telecom
  • Food
  • Housewares
  • Materials
  • Pure Science

 

 

Or, you could answer the questions in terms of:

Tech Buzz

  • Anything Smart
  • Autonomous
  • AI
  • Robots
  • Drones

 

 

 

 

Or, you could answer the question in terms of:

  • Wireless Connectivity
  • Embedded Engineering
  • Internet of Things
  • Industrial Automation
  • Anything electronic that's Smaller than your Thumbnail

So, give me all you got!

 

Show me your Tech and engineering Crystal Ball.

 

Make me believe you have an eye into the future!

  • The past few years have seen an enormous investment in localization technology (knowing where every cell phone is - with and without GPS) I expect to see an increasing number of apps trying to generate value from these technologies. At some point someone will come up with a killer app that will make it acceptable for most people to like it/use it. Then hopefully the rest of us will get to use it in non-cell phone applications.

    Another technology that has seen a lot of big companies dabbling in it is heads-up displays. The technology for good augmented reality is still a year or two away, but investment in heads-up display technology will increase until it finally takes off.

    I wrote more but realized it was too long so expect more installments...

    Wearables are still looking for useful things to do before they really take off. I think they need to not just look for new applications, but help us do things we already do but may have trouble with, like recognize people we are supposed to know, or read things we can't quite see or automatically record stuff we should remember, or automatically act as a universal translator.

    Big companies are developing programming languages to teach children. I hope they realize there is a huge market for languages for computer-illiterate people to program their own IoT devices. Trained programmers will be the bottle neck in IoT build-out.

    Medical knowledge is getting closer to a tipping point where we will start to be able to solve the tough problems. I don't know when the breakthoughs will happen, but I expect baby-boomers to start pouring their wealth into medical research as they get older and there will be a need for more and more technology in the medical field.

    LoRa is opening up some applications and there is investment happening, but Bluetooth 5 will have many more applications.

    I think next year will be great for element14 as the staff are not content with a static forum but are diligently exploring new ways to improve the forum and those efforts are bound to grow the forum. They also have an excellent staff who are steadily tuning the existing programs to make them more effective.
