Blockchain is an open, distributed ledger that records transaction between two parties accurately and in a permanent way. A blockchain is governed by a peer-to-peer system completely attaching to a procedure for internode communication and validating new blocks. Blockchains are secure and illustrate a distributed computing system.

The rise of 5G is seen in our ability to do things on wireless platforms- moving, manipulating, and analyzing data. 5G is set to fully roll out in the coming years, and it will give rise to the development of more complex apps to solve problems and increase growth in all industries. In a recent release, Michael Haines, the community chair and director of partner incentive strategy and program design for Microsoft said, “The development and deployment of 5G is going to enable business impact at a level few technologies ever have, providing wireless at the speed and latency needed for complex solutions like driverless vehicles. Once fully deployed geographically, 5G will help emerging markets realize the same ‘speed of business’ as their mature counterparts. Solution providers that develop 5G-based solutions for specific industry applications will have profitable, early-mover advantages.”

  1. Robotics

Robotics involves the process of using machines to make businesses faster, cheaper and more efficient. The world is moving to a world where robots are doing the jobs meant for humans. They can even achieve some tasks that seem difficult for humans to do. As much as it will help improve the efficiency of business, it will also put humans out of business in some industries.
