Fascinating IT Trends to Look Out for in 2020

The development of IT technology has made people’s lives more convenient and enriched. Here, we will introduce the three latest IT trends that are drawing attention in 2020. Getting to know the trends in the IT industry promptly will lead to business success.

IT Trend #1. 5G

5G, which will replace existing 4G, is an ultra-high-speed communication system that achieves 10Gbps, which is approximately 100 times faster than 4G.

Almost all the time I’ve been reading has been eliminated, and you can enjoy SNS and videos very comfortably.

5G Benefits

• 5G has three advantages: “ultra-high-speed”, “multiple connections”, and “ultra-low latency”.
• For ultra-high-speed, the communication speed is 100 times faster than 4G
• Multiple connections mean that you can connect about 10 times more than 4G at the same time. For example, 4K video can be played simultaneously in the same space as the family.
• Ultra-low latency means that the time difference from real-time is about 1/10 of that of 4G.
• Since you can get more timely information, it is convenient to obtain traffic information and weather information.

IT Trend #2. XR

“XR,” which is a collective term for “AR,” “VR,” “MR,” “SR,” etc., is a general term for technologies that create a new reality.

Recently, the number of people who enjoy VR games at home is increasing. And it is a technology that will play an active role in the future

What is AR (Augmented Reality)?

AR, also called “augmented reality,” is a technology that reflects virtual data in the physical space. Specifically, the use of it is also in smartphone games such as “Pokemon Go.”

Besides, the use of AR technology is also in IKEA applications and civil engineering work sites.

VR (Virtual Reality)

VR also called “virtual reality,” uses goggles-type devices to enjoy images and sounds. Home video games have already been sold, and more and more people are enjoying VR games. In addition to games, it also applies to train in companies and simulations.

MR (Mixed Reality)

MR is a technology that combines AR and VR. You can attach a head-mounted display to display virtual images in the real world.

SR (Substitutional Reality)

SR, also known as “alternative reality,” is a technology that projects a “past image” onto the real world using a head-mounted display. You can experience the present and the past at the same time. Although currently in the experimental stage, it is expected to play an active role in driving simulations.

IT Trend #3: Edge Computing

This is a computing model in which IoT devices such as smartphones process information, and servers are distributed over networks in areas close to users for processing. Benefits include faster response, reduced security risk, and increased resilience due to failures.

Example using edge computing

Multiplying autonomous driving and edge computing makes it possible for computers to make quick decisions. Data processing such as acceleration, braking, and handling will become even faster, enabling safer automated driving that is no different from human driving.
