Every two days, we see something new in the field of technology. It is not possible to guess which new device will become the next thing for young people. Also, it is hard to guess which new website will become a new leading social media platform. The advent of smartphones, technologies such as 4G-LTE, artificial intelligence (AI), online banking, and other similar services are already making people’s lives easier than ever. Here, we will discuss five new technologies that are already making headlines in 2018:
artificial intelligence
AI is one of the few technologies that people are excited about in 2018. Google Home was launched in 2016 and now it is gaining more popularity among fans of the latest technologies. Today, people prefer to use intelligent personal assistants like Amazon’s Alexa and Apple’s Siri to perform simple tasks like checking the time, scheduling appointments, etc. Tech giants are also working to integrate these services into the devices we use in our daily routine. For example, we can now use Google Home to adjust the temperature in our room or turn off the lights. It’s just the beginning. In the coming months, AI technology will attract more and more people.
autonomous cars
Driverless cars will be common on roads by 2022, according to technology analysts. Tech companies like Google, Apple, Intel and many others are working on the development of this technology. Automakers are also working hard to make the dream of self-driving cars a reality. Human error is primarily the cause of most traffic accidents. But, with the introduction of autonomous cars, the number of traffic accidents will decrease, experts say. The reason is obvious: a computer doesn’t drink alcohol, talk to friends, or do other things like that.
foldable smartphones
Companies like LG, Samsung, OPPO and ZTE are working on foldable smartphones. It is very likely that this new type of smartphones will attract many users. Samsung has already said that its foldable phones will hit the market this year. The company has been working on this technology for the last few years. For some people, it will be inconvenient to use a flexible smartphone. But for many, these phones will offer great things like a better screen, extra screen size, and not having to worry about the screens cracking.
OLED-TV
New OLED TVs promise a better gaming experience. The user enjoys extra high definition colors while watching a movie on an OLED screen. These types of TVs are making headlines in the year 2018. In the coming years, several leading companies are expected to introduce their OLED TVs in the market. Let’s see where this technology takes us in the future.
5G
Reports suggest that 5G networks (fifth generation of mobile technologies) will be a reality this year. Reportedly, many telecommunications companies are already testing this service in many parts of the world. 5G will offer a speed of 10 Gbps, according to experts. The technology will use little power and allow many users to connect to a single device at the same time. But, the cost of using 5G service will be higher than that of 4G-LTE service. We have to wait to see how this technology will change the way we communicate.
