Technological trends for 2022

The technological promises of 2021 saw their development accelerated by the Covid-19 pandemic, such as the metaverse, smart cars and advanced artificial intelligence.

However, some of these technologies are still in the early stages. So its full development will take some more time.

Technological trends of 2022: I'll show them here

The metaverse is the present and future

Facebook announced the name change to Meta at the end of last year in conjunction with the update that surprised the entire tech market.

This, after declaring that with enough time in social networks, now he wants to take his users to a new world, a new universe.

Before the news, different companies in the sector such as Google, Apple and Microsoft, immediately joined the innovation revealing that they will also join these virtual universes.

These companies will start the competition between software and hardware, seeking to give their users better designs in the environments and better devices to live the experience.

However, it will be several years before the metaverse becomes a reality. This is because companies must ensure that their applications and gadgets are viable with the different operating systems of their consumers. In addition to seeking a harmony between performance and security.

Smarthouses

For a few years now, we've seen companies like Google, Amazon, and Samsung planning brilliant gadgets for the home. Gadgets that are beginning to be seen more and more in small and large stores.

However, a persistent problem for customers is the little or no compatibility of these gadgets by the manufacturer. To address this problem, Google, Apple and Samsung have formed an alliance called Matter.

This company seeks to establish a meeting point between these gadgets to expand their compatibility, regardless of who made it.

Electric cars

Although electric vehicles are not something new, what will be new in 2022 will be the accessibility of these vehicles.

In this sense, some companies in the industry, for example, Ford, General Motors, Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen, will try to make their vehicles accessible at more reasonable costs for their buyers.

2022 the year of chip shortage

During the year 2021, many organizations in the technological and automotive areas were seriously affected by the shortage of chips. One of the big players in the market like Sony was forced to take one of its products off the market due to this problem.

The chip shortage will continue to set the tone for at least the first half of 2022, according to Syed Alam.

In the best of cases, it ensures that it will not be until mid-2023 that companies will see a palpable recovery from the problem.

Repairing our technologies, easier this year

Today, cell phones, computers, tablets, have become our day to day. And when they fail, or we need to maintain them, the manufacturers showed no interest in solving our problem.

Apparently this little by little will be part of the past. For example, Apple, before the first quarter of 2022, plans to announce a self-service and repair program.

In this program, the company's customers can actually fix their iPhones and Mac PCs with parts from the manufacturer.

Microsoft is another company that joins this initiative. It has declared that by the end of 2022 its users will be able to access a device repair program.

Dell joins in with a model called Luna. Among one of the highlights that it presents in its model, it is the reduction of the interior screws and an adjustable plan that facilitates its disassembly and repair or revision in comparison with different computers.

Continuous data collection

For some years now, we have seen the introduction of gadgets so brilliant that they are equipped to obtain information from users in an exceptionally easy way.

Examples of this are smartwatches, which, equipped with a lot of sensors, are able to measure the pulse, calories, quality of sleep, etc.

Meanwhile, in the medical field, people's biomedical information is beginning to be used to help prevent disease.

To do this, various devices with sensors have been used that collect data for subsequent analysis.

Therefore, one of the most innovative gadgets for 2022 will be wearables, which just by putting them on the finger or on the wrist, will really be able to capture a lot of information that will help users to identify trends or patterns about their health, and thus help them to improve your habits to avoid serious problems in the future.

In any case, one of the problems that consumers grapple with is the almost zero security of the information collected. Therefore, it is not clear how it will be used and safeguarded by companies.

In conclusion, the technological trends for 2022 indicate that large companies, especially in the technology sector, seek a great approach to their users, they will try to rethink themselves and their way of dealing with customers.

Some offering new services, others working on existing ones, and others improving their value proposition to better connect with their consumers.
