IoT offer many benefits we haven’t even imagined yet. Environments will use more sensors and vision technologies, enabling more scalable IoT solutions.

7. Edge Computing

As the quantity of data we are dealing with continues to grow, we have realized the limitations of cloud computing in some situation, which has clearly result to the increased demand for edge computing processing power. Edge computing is designed in such a way that it can bypass the latency cause by cloud computing and getting data to a data center for processing.

Edge computing can be used to process time sensitive data in a remote location with limited or no connectivity to a centralized location, in those situation it can act like a mini datacenter. Edge computer will increase as the use of Internet of things (IoT) devices increases. There is a growing need to infer more data and then make decisions without sending data to the cloud.
Year 2020 – 2022 will witness the advantage for high performance from edge computing hardware since better sensors and larger Artificial Intelligence (AI) models now enable a host of new applications.

8. The Growth of the Internet; Deployment of 5G and Starlink Broadband Internet Technology

The craving and desire for speedy and faster internet connection is truly driving the innovation of internet. Hence, the deployment of 5G and Starlink Broadband Internet Technology.

Due to the extremely quick internet speeds, it ought to be transformative for some parts of our lives. The need for faster internet will build productivity of workers and will produce reliable communication tools to organizations that mostly depend on remote workers. This is the place 5G and starlink broadband may most likely change the world.

The 5G competition mostly between the U.S.A and China is entering the main phase in 2020. The competition about who can boost 5G faster into mass consumer use.

As many as 2,500 satellites will be launched before 2020 elapses. By the end of 2023 SpaceX Starlink’s broadband Internet system will grow with 12,000 satellites, followed by the addition of 30,000 satellites.

Excellent write up

They should put hold on some of the technologies.

Why do you think so

No. 5 . There are fewer jobs out there, with rapid automation there will surely be a huge loss in job opportunities which are already battling.

joshjc:
why

What then are we supposed to do? Stop innovation and remain static because some people will loose their jobs
New technologies have always proven to create more jobs, directly or indirectly,than was lost with their introduction.

Nice writeup but...

This thread should not be in politics session of this nairaland platform

It should be in Education/Career or Tech wing.

Gradual introduction and when the economy is favourable because as it stands now there are massive job lost so introducing such innovations will only worsen the issue,thats why i said they should be on hold and not outright cancelling of the innovation.

lastempero:

Well i don't really think so, introducing these technologies will require engineers, AI experts and maintenance crew.

Truthfully it will take many job away so will it bring massive opportunities to others

joshjc:

Lol me too, i was waiting to hear 666 or its equivalent

And what happens when the technology is been deployed? Thousands will loose their job in quick succession. If it must be introduced, it should be gradual and also the impending economic meltdown should also be considered too.

tatatar:

Very correct, there are already thousands of engineer working on quantum computing and when its complete there will be more need for experts and engineers... There's already a shortage of professional workers in some of the field hence the slow evolution of some of the technology

lastempero:

It's already gradual since some of these tech started emerging about 10 - 15years ago, so it's left fot those that don't want to lose their job to join the train.

That's part of what killed Nokia and Blackberry, Android was taking the market in full speed, the people love the OS, but nokia was bent on microsoft os, eventually their ship sank...

Either we like it or not, at some point we need to re-strategize our product or services to our rapid changing environment

My bad, i think i was on Technology forum, am. Just noticing it now.
It's there a way i can move it to Tech forum

My point is that, it's not best of time to implement such. The employment figure is in distress already, so automating production lines now fully will not be welcomed in any part of the world. Such programmes should be put on hold for now.
