The Latest News on Emerging Technologies
Some of these emerging technologies are brand-new; others are older technologies that have found new applications. Others are the result of technological convergence (the bringing together of previously separate systems that are moving towards stronger inter-connection and similar goals).
For example, virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) combine to form immersive experiences that let people interact with computer-generated environments or objects. They can be used for everything from training employees to conducting business meetings with customers.
Another example is 5G, a wireless network that will be 100 times faster than 4G and enable an entire generation of devices to connect with the internet. It can allow multiple devices to be connected at the same time, decrease latency to practically zero and make it possible to have high-definition videoconferencing or even self-driving cars.
Gen Z is also reshaping the way we consume information and engage with the media. Instead of sticking to a set time for engagement with the news, like traditional newspapers or prime-time TV, Gen Zers will access the news at any time via their phones and other mobile apps. They value brevity and relevance in the content they view, but once they’ve discovered a story of interest, they’ll dive deeper by using other platforms that house longer-form content.
In addition, Gen Zers are open to exploring subjects that weren’t traditionally covered extensively during news broadcasts or in daily newspapers, such as cooking, art and culture. They’re willing to learn more about these topics as long as they can see how they might apply to their own lives or careers.
