Tech for a Better You | Technology turns into therapy this year, as newly launched apps address the mental health crisis and gadgets tackle touch deprivation. With a growing sense of Covid-caused monotony, sensory experiences are sure to be sought after in the coming year. |
Fortifying Digital Boundaries | As life shifts online under social distancing, there’s more need than ever for brands to help consumers separate work and home life, and to keep their data secure. Promising developments range from platforms cutting down meeting time to emerging modes of secure encryption. |
Algorithms Incoming | Artificial Intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) algorithms are gaining traction in the smart city space – providing urban insights and scaling up vehicle safety. However, AI is only as good as its data set, meaning the onus is on Big Tech to create a more equitable internet experience for everyone. |
Sustainability Wins | A multifaceted approach is the only way to improve the eco-credentials of technology – a notoriously wasteful industry. Innovators are improving battery power to align with ethical and sustainable values, while the internet gets a carbon-conscious overhaul. Also, end-of-life solutions for gadgets are increasingly front-of-mind. |
