7 technology trends for 2020
Good Day! This is my weekly newsletter, with a dose of insights into the future. The topic of this newsletter is the exponential times we live in, hence the title of f(x) = e^x, which is the (natural) exponential function.
Recently, I launched my new concept The Digital Speaker and you can now book me as an avatar or hologram. Also, my tech trend prediction for 2021 is out, read it here!
The Top Seven Technology Trends for 2020
My latest article:
We have reached the end of 2019 and just like in previous years, I am looking ahead to see what organisations can expect next year. I believe 2020 will be exciting as ever when it comes to technology. As I said before, we live in exponential times and the more various technologies converge, the more exciting the opportunities become. Thanks to this convergence, intelligent applications and solutions become available, and organisations can increase productivity, become smarter, more agile, automated and eventually also more humane. The convergence of technologies will kick-start the third decade, and the results of it will be felt in the years to come. Therefore, 2020 will be the Year of Convergence.
