Over the past few decades, the time has been incredible to be alive. Science, innovation and technology are moving in parallel to accelerate human progress in a great way. Undoubtedly, the era was a turning point for many technological advancements. But still, we are constantly heading towards a more exciting digital future.
Many vague digital trends and technological transformations that once were dreamt of, appear to turn into a reality soon. Some trends might be fugitive while some are here to stay for long and become mainstream technologies for the future such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Big Data, Advanced Data Analytics, Automation and rest. We anticipate them to revolutionize the world we live in.
Without further ado, let’s discover the 5 emerging technology trends to watch out for in 2020.

It is yet not enough to say that IoT has done something as we believe that it has just started and the “Internet of Things” is moving forward to the “Internet of Everything (IoE)”. IoE is said to be the superset of IoT.
As per a technology report by Gartner Inc, it forecasts that the number of IoT devices that were 8.4 billion in use worldwide in 2017 is expected to reach 20.4 billion by 2020. So, without a doubt, we can say that IoE will be everywhere and society will become increasingly technology-driven.
2. Blockchain & Cryptocurrencies are Here to Stay
