4 technology trends that will make a difference in 2021

During the 2020s, a huge step towards digital adoption was taken, thanks to the mobility difficulties triggered by the pandemic. The internet undoubtedly facilitated many of the processes that were normally executed face-to-face. Therefore, in the coming year, it is expected that the presence of technology will be more important because its use will be much more familiar to users.

These will be some of the trends that will lead the way for technology in 2021:

Data Security or Cybersecurity

Security reinforcements should be a priority for the coming year. With the increased use of digital tools, the protection of data and products must be constantly evolving. One of the alternatives that is on the rise is Blockchain technology, which can become an everyday tool for technology platforms. 

In Colombia, companies such as Nuvu have remained at the forefront by offering security options such as SingApp, a platform for digital authentication and engagement based on facial biometrics that focuses on reinforcing the security of applications. 

Voice assistants

One of the projections of this technology is that by 2021 work will be done on the creation of new tools, so that services and software equipment can converge in a modern environment and organize processes with more pleasant communication with the client. For example, banking services using only voice, according to TryCore. 

5G technology

By next year, fifth-generation technology is expected to continue its expansion around the world. In the case of Colombia, this evolution has an estimated arrival date of 2022. However, it was established that the 5G spectrum auction is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2021, according to Forbes. 

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Digital tools are advancing in their construction every day. To continue with this transformation, it is estimated that AI will be applied to a broad sector of information in the next year. TryCore estimates that at least 25 billion things will be connected by 2021 through this technology, and by the year it is estimated that it will be included in almost all technological services.

It is expected that by 2021 the technology will take advantage of the momentum provided by the current situation and will be able to reach many more people globally.
