AI, pre-coding dominate the 2018 technology village

 Encryption, artificial intelligence, social-networking crises as well as information security vulnerabilities will have an impact on people's lives in 2018.

In the year 2017, many technological events occur and impact on the economy, politics and society in many countries. Typically, cyber attacks on Equifax credit or Russia manipulate US elections with Facebook. Predictions this year, the following technology trends will affect the human life.

 

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is present in every device

The world is witnessing tremendous transformations in many areas of the industry thanks to the AI ​​as well as the widespread Internet connection. Many artificial intelligence products such as Siri, Google Now or Alexa help make human life more convenient and modern.

Recent human work has been tested in place of AI, such as driving, sales, machinery operation / maintenance, accounting, cashier and packaging. It is possible that AI has the potential to change its appearance and economic development, especially as the world is entering the 4.0 era of industrialization.

Facebook back to the community building

"We want the time people spend on Facebook to make meaningful social interactions," CEO Mark Zuckerberg said. In addition, his statement also implies that Facebook will take more action to manage the media functions to combat the widespread cyber-terrorism problem.

Facebook will strengthen the control of information access to users. Specifically, in mid-December, 1977, the company began deleting spam messages through the "Snooze" feature. It allows users to hide the activity of another object or page within 30 days without having to un-track or uninitialize them.

Amazon started to take over the market

With the advantage of e-commerce companies providing cloud infrastructure and cloud computing services, Amazon is taking strong strides in the entertainment world and many other investments. In 2017, Amazon has spent $ 4.5 billion to compete with Netflix in developing video content.

In addition, Amazon's plan to take over the US retail market has also begun. Currently, Amazon has begun to acquire furniture manufacturing companies, specialized equipment, stationery, food. It is estimated that next year Amazon will employ an additional 500,000 employees and become America's second-largest private company, after Walmart.

The Internet's neutrality is gone

In December 2017, the US Communications Commission (FCC) is proposing to abolish the Internet Neutrality Act. For telcos or Internet cable companies, that's good news. However, this has a direct impact on billions of users when leading technology companies such as Google, Facebook and Apple are based in the United States.

According to the law, this year, when Internet neutrality is lost, network operators have the right to squeeze bandwidth, compete for space that makes access to websites such as Google, Facebook and YouTube slow down or disrupt. paragraph. If you want to use Internet services faster, users are required to pay extra fees for network operators to increase the speed of transmission. 

 

Pre- paid coding is more than selling

There is little evidence that many current or future coders will survive the market. Meanwhile, the ease of buying and selling these virtual currencies means that their price spikes in 2017 - from $ 1,000 per dollar to nearly $ 20,000 and a 25% discount shortly thereafter - may repeat this year.

High transaction fees show that Bitcoin has lost its original mission of becoming an easy-to-exchange electronic currency. Massive excavation and the emergence of alternative virtual currencies will be a topic worthy of attention in 2018. 

 

Software oriented for the development of smart phones

Successfully upgraded hardware for smartphones in 2017. In particular, Apple and Samsung have succeeded in delivering more compact phones, large screens, better home and camera buttons. . Many big companies have invested in software development, allowing users to access new features.

With the iPhone X, Apple has completely changed the way communication between users with the new swipe and tap. In addition, the Android phone will later integrate many new features after installing software Oreo Android 8.0 and they have longer battery life.

Network security vulnerability and privacy

Security experts warn consumers can lose their privacy when using Internet-connected devices such as TVs, phones, computers, and other tools. Advertising companies or social networks will directly use all information from the site, paying with a credit card to direct ads to users.

However, this can be prevented. In May 1974, the General Data Protection Regulation (GNP) was approved by the European Union. It will be effective all over Europe from May 2018 to change the use of personal information of US companies.
