TMT Predictions 2020
Discovering the future
In 2020 and beyond, technologies will continue to offer transformation and growth opportunities to enterprises worldwide, fundamentally changing the way we live and work.
TMT Predictions 2020 focuses on three overarching themes. First, individual technologies are no longer siloed, but are becoming ever more connected and interdependent—and their impact and value are increasing as a result. Second, significant income is being generated from five technology sources: smartphones, computers, TVs, enterprise data centers and software, and IoT. And third, many services and products that have been “just around the corner” for years are finally turning that corner in 2020.
This trio of trends may make predicting more predictable! An interconnected ecosystem with a limited number of significant players should allow us to foresee trends with greater accuracy and more confidence. Indeed, it may be time to retire the old joke: “It's tough to make predictions, especially about the future.”
In the near future, maybe it won’t be as tough.
