Here are just a few of the most significant tech developments to watch for over the coming years.

1. Artificial Intelligence: AI has already made significant strides, and has recently been popping up everywhere. From AI chatbots to driver-less cars, AI is set to take center stage. This can include better machine learning, more sophisticated algorithms, and general and specialized AI that can automate tasks.

1. Quantum Computing: This very advanced type of computing has the potential to revolutionize the way we approach complex problems — from weather forecasting to medical developments. While quantum computing is still in its early developmental phase, we can expect this field of technology to make strides over the coming decade and beyond.

1. Blockchain: Many are already familiar with blockchain, especially through its first major application: cryptocurrency. From crypto to supply chain management, blockchain is expected to grow and become more ubiquitous.

1. Internet of Things (IoT): The IoT is an interesting phenomenon that connects every day “things” like appliances, cars, etc. to the internet — and to each other. Over the coming decade, we can expect the IoT to make significant changes to sectors such as healthcare, agriculture and even personal lifestyle.

1. Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality: VR and AR are currently most prominent in gaming and entertainment, but can be expected to migrate to other sectors such as healthcare and education.

1. Nanotechnology: Nanotechnology is expected to lead to new materials, devices, and systems that are more efficient and effective than those currently available. Expect nano bots to become more prevalent in computing as well as potentially even healthcare.

1. Robotics: Robotics, especially when combined with AI, is expected to continue to advance, leading to the development of new applications and technologies.

These are just a few of the many exciting developments we can expect in the tech industry over the next decade. As these technologies continue to evolve and mature, they will open up new opportunities for innovation, growth, and positive change in our world.
