I was reading an article this morning in Entrepreneur Magazine about 12 TechnologyTrends that will drive conversations over the next year.
The article was
very informative about the new technologies that were just displayed
at the Mobile World Congress event. (It was held in Barcelona this
year, I knew I should have went.) It brought together over 100,000
people and had 2,200 companies that had exhibits at the event.
Definitely something you want to check out in the future if you are
in the world of tech.
From this article
these are some of the new technologies that interested me.
Tech companies
are trying a new model to launch products. Instead of launching
products to individual end users / customers they are now trying to
launch them into ecosystems instead. So far the leaders in this new
thought process are LG, Samsung, and Sony. This will be an
interesting thing to watch and see how it evolves. I hadn’t thought
about not selling a product to a certain customer, and instead trying
to sell it to a certain group or type of customer.
Mobile Payment
Technology – According to the article Mastercard is currently
looking at ways to authorize payments via biometrics as in your
fingerprint or with a selfie. They are also looking at ways to allow
you to make payments and purchase things from the touchscreen in your
car.
e-SIM cards
– This embedded SIM card technology would allow devices to switch
between data carriers without having to physically switch devices or
SIM cards. The Samsung Gear S2 3G Smartwatch is supposed to be one
of the first devices to house one of these cards and utilize this
technology.
Low Power Wide
Area Networks - This technology is making it possible for large
geographic areas to be outfitted with enough data connectivity (ie.
Narrow Bandwidth) for Internet of Things rollouts.
So what are your
thoughts on these technologies?
Do any of these
technologies interest you or influence your work?
What other new
technologies are out there that my community is aware of?
Share it with me,
I’d love to hear more about it.
