tech conference, CES.

3. As a result of the bots boom, technology now runs our
households. From turning on the lights or monitoring
deliveries to keeping a grocery list, household devices
can do it all thanks to IoT. I am using about 12 such
app (screen shot from my phone). These surely make
my life easier where I can control most of my
electronics from palm of my hand.

BLOCKCHAIN
MEETS IOT

4. THE INTERNET OF
THINGS (IOT)
IoT created a lot of buzz last year as electronics and
software became engrained in our everyday devices, and
while for many the pros outweighed the cons, security
became an ever-pressing concern. If we grant devices
access to our personal and financial information - it needs to
be safely stored outside the reach of tampering or hacking,
which hasn’t been the case.

5. JAY SAMIT,
FORTUNE
"Blockchain, one of the underlying technologies for the hot
cryptocurrency bitcoin, can make IoT devices even more useful.
It creates a digital record across hundreds or thousands of
computers, vastly reducing the risk of hacking."

6. THE
ARTIFICIAL
INTELLIGENCE
IMPACT
Sophia shocked the world last year as the first
robot to gain citizenship. She also started the
conversation about where AI is heading and
what the implications are. On a personal scale,
Digital Trends predicts that this year Artificial
Intelligence will be further integrated into our
routines via phones and digital assistants.

7. SUNDAR PICHAI ON
ARTIFICIAL
INTELLIGENCE
Google CEO, Sundar Pichai, made headlines this January saying
that Artificial Intelligence is more profound than advancements
like electricity and fire. He went to say that “humans first
learned to harness fire by understanding its dangers, adding
that AI can similarly benefit us once its role and effect on
society has been established.”
