Top 15 Emerging Technology Trends to watch in 2022 and beyond As employers, employees and entrepreneurs turn to the internet; the shift has sparked an unprecedented demand for fast-evolving technological solutions. Given the high stakes in 2021 and the technological trends that rose to the occasion, anyone interested in tech knows how quickly the latest tools can soon become obsolete.
Which 2021 Technology Worked Out The Most As expected, not every technology to watch in 2021 lived up to expectations since predictions are not always accurate. However, some of these technologies also changed lives in big ways during the year. Chief among them was the drug development revolution, mainly due to the messenger RNA vaccines and advanced covid-19 testing.This technology has been under development for over 20 years. However, the outbreak of the pandemic marked a race to create viable vaccines. The breakthrough for messenger RNA vaccines came in late December 2020. At this point, the pandemic claimed over 1.5 million lives worldwide. But the approval of the vaccines in the US marked the eventual end of the pandemic.
1. Sustainable Energy Solutions The only energy source to record increased usage during the pandemic was renewable energy. To be more precise, the use of renewable energy in the US rose by 40% ten-week after the lockdown started. Globally, the narrative was more of the same, with non-renewable energy consumption reducing as companies closed and workers remained indoors, resulting in an 8% decrease in emissions.
2. Customer Data Platforms (CDP) The Customer Data Platform Industry Update reports show that the industry has bounced back after a dip in 2020. CDP company enjoyed expansion in the first two quarters of 2021. The sector increased from 131 to 151 vendors, added over 1200 workers, and secured about $550 million in investor funds. This growth comes as a fresh breath in an industry that went through a brief slump during the onset of the covid-19 pandemic over a year ago, per the CDP Institute.
