Tech trends to watch out for in post pandemic world
Tech trends to watch out for in post pandemic world

The world has changed since the outbreak of the pandemic. Following are some of the technology trends we can expect in the post pandemic world.

Satellite Broadband

The race for interplanetary discovery and much more is well underway.  But the race that deserves special attention is satellite broadband, a race that’s also well underway.  This is the technology that can deliver broadband access to everyone – and help reduce the digital divide.

Game Time

No kidding.  Before, during and well after the pandemic. As display and interaction technology improves (especially AR and VR), so too with the adoption of gaming applications.

Video Services

Lots of companies benefitted from the pandemic.  Zoom wasn’t the only one.  The trick is to identify the ones that benefit from snowstorms but especially sea changes like pandemics, war, climate disasters and other major national and international events.  

The open question is just how persistent Zoom (and other video services) will remain after the pandemic has mostly passed.  The same is true about physical office space and lots of other pandemic habits and trends once things have settled down.  As always there are downsides:  screen “addiction,” fatigue, security, etc.  But these represent largely solvable problems so long as someone decides to solve them. 

Vaccines

The technology – messenger RNA (mRNA) – quickly developed by Pfizer and Moderna is literally life-changing.  The platform is the key.  Now future vaccines can be developed quickly and effectively.  This technology is easily one of the most significant medical technologies of the 21st century. Finally, some good news.

5G

There are some new markets that 5G will absolutely, positively enable.  One of them is the augmented and virtual reality market in which Apple will no doubt participate in a major way.  Autonomous vehicles and IOT will also rely heavily upon 5G.  Everyone has a stake here, so it will happen when the financial Gods decide it’s ready.

Cybersecurity

Hacking is now a way of life.  2021 has shown us just how vulnerable our systems are.  The amazing reality here is that we all know this.  But we’re unwilling to make the necessary investments to prevent hacking, ransomware, phishing, etc.  While we can never eliminate all this mischief we can absolutely reduce the number and severity of incidents.  All we need is the will. The money will follow.

Climate Change

Yes, climate change is happening – in spite of bizarre comments about climate change being “unsettled science.”  New technology represents a win/win.  It can make a lot of companies a ton of money and it can help the human race survive. 

What’s not to like?  Sure, there are higher technology development and deployment costs in the beginning as there always is.  But technology is about market share and capturing as much as possible as quickly as possible even it’s not as profitable on day one than it will be on day 300. 

Personal Video Devices

The use of personal video devices of all kinds has changed reporting for some time.  Mobile phone-based video has exploded and is now used to document all sorts of events, situations, locations – you name it – forever. Personal video devices are going to dominate in the future as well.
