Deloitte named the main technological trends of 2018

The most famous audit company Deloitte transferred the past year to   IT   at   range of numbers and   from   Using these figures, I tried to predict the trends of the next year.

The level of dependence on   smartphones

So in   Deloitte are confident that in   next year we   finally get used to   smartphones that we will look at   them as   tool, and   not   continuation of oneself. Not   The fact that the concept of dependence on   smartphone will disappear, but   talk about   we are   we will be much less likely. AT   This forecast analysts rely on   polls according to which 45% of the adult population of the world and   65% of the millenniums are promised in   next year to cease constantly fumble in   pocket.

Augmented reality is embedded in the   everyday life

AT   Unlike   virtual reality, augmented reality is much simpler and   looks much more useful in   solving many everyday tasks. By   To Deloitte's forecast, tens of millions of people will daily create content for augmented reality, and   at least once in   the year   every seventh inhabitant of the planet will try. AND   not   it will be important   Whether this application is for furniture selection, the new Pokemon Go   or stickers in   the form of imperial stormtroopers.

People who do not   Adblock, they will   the red book

Custom blocking of advertising will become mass, and   the only person who does not   knows about Adblock, there will be someone's grandmother. By   given by Deloitte, ad blockers in   USA now enjoy 3 people from   4, a   the   Each tenth Internet user is at least 4 different blocker. AND   this trend will only increase.

ESports will become very rich

AT   2018 income from   e-sports will overcome the mark in   $ 1   billion! It's in   3 times more than a few years ago. Increase and   the average time for viewing the game broadcasts, but   these indicators will still be far from   level of the usual sports broadcasts on   TV. The cybersport market will continue to boil in   China, and   will develop more actively   West, if the company type EA   and   Blizzard will back up the words with deed and   will make local gaming leagues by   FIFA and   Overwatch.

AT   the rest is nothing unusual   - smartphones will buy, the TV will look less, digital money will even more strongly displace paper, and   AI   will continue to grow wiser. But about the fate of Bitcoin sly cunning.

How is this rating better than dozens of others?

Not   be sure to be an expert to make up some kind of annual rating.   It is enough to consider yourself a little smarter than others. AND   this is a great devaluation of the very idea of ​​the rating, which is now too much. But   Deloitte is included in   Four of the world's largest audit / consulting companies, and   her   employees are used to   on   opinions and   emotions, and   on   unbiased facts and   figures.
