The Biggest Predictions for the IT Industry

By Team TechJury


The IT industry is continuously evolving. Thanks to its dynamic nature, we are getting access to improved products and services. Moving forward, the industry is poised for even more growth as developers and IT experts work around the clock to upend what IT is today.

Here are some predictions on what comes next within the industry.

AR For Businesses


The world met augmented reality (AR) in its true form when Pokemon GO was launched in 2016. Aside from video games, AR will be making its way into businesses as well. Firms such as realty companies can use AR to provide virtual and in-depth tours of rooms and homes. Others can use it to create more engaging marketing strategies.

More Jobs In IT


With automation making its way in various industries, there’s no doubting that the growth of AI will penetrate the workplace too. For this reason, we can expect more and more IT-related jobs in the future.

According to recent data, the total number of IT jobs will increase by 13% between 2016 and 2026. Considering the current rate, there might even be more jobs to look out for.

Smarter AI


According to Forbes, the next step for AI is the processing of emotions. By making AI capable of the feat, we can make it even smarter, thus allowing it to do more jobs that only humans are capable of at the moment.

Blockchain Acceptance


Blockchain is one of the emerging trends in the IT industry. Even though some experts believe that it’s a promising technology, it still has a long way to prove their trust. We are yet to see what can blockchain change in this sector.

Meanwhile, blockchain disruptions are already a reality. A good example is the telecom industry. If everything goes according to plan, we should see huge improvements in telecommunication services soon.

These are just some of the current trends and predictions for IT in the coming years. Obviously, exciting things are up ahead for the industry.
