We have seen many things take off this past year and talked about some pretty cool tech topics, IoT (Internet of Things), Data Visualization, Scaling Cloud Platforms and the Evolution of Cyber just to name a few. This year we hope to bring you even more insight into tech trends and happenings. To kick off this year, let’s touch on something you are probably already a little familiar with, but that we believe will take off even more so over the next 1-2 years. That is embedded voice services, such as Google Assistant, Amazon’s Alexa, Microsoft’s Cortana and Apple’s SIRI. We all have some experience with each of these, but the topic here is not the use of, but rather the expansion of their use across new platforms.

Back in the early days of programming, programmers had few choices when it came to programming languages. Times have certainly changed. The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Spectrum regularly ranks the top languages, and in 2017, they ranked the top 48 languages based on popularity. The languages ranged from Python in the number one spot, to ActionScript (a version of Flash) taking the number forty-eight spot.

Many of us took some time last month to cheer on the red, white, and blue as American athletes competed on the world stage. We felt a huge sense of pride as they donned old glory in victory during the 2018 Winter Olympics, hosted in Pyeongchang, South Korea. Historically, the Olympics have been the venue for hosting countries to showcase just how advanced they are with technology. Nearly 10 years ago, China used the 2008 Summer Olympics to boast how technologically advanced the China Next Generation Internet (CNGI) network was with its use of IPv6 during the games.

Augmented Reality (AR) has rapidly come to prominence in the last few years. At its simplest, it is using a device to project something computer-generated into the real world. It’s not replacing the real world as virtual reality does. There are two primary types of AR devices. There are wearable devices which depend on the human to wear them, and by detecting what the human is sensing it creates additional graphics, sounds, etc. The second type is an AR projector. This is a device that projects light into the real world in such a way that anyone nearby can see it.
