40 Computers
Computer Care Looking forward by Alan Stainer I was recently asked what I thought were going to be the big tech things in the year ahead. I could have mentioned any number of hardware devices and improvements, but mostly those are not groundbreaking. The latest iPhone for example screams the word iteration into your brain and Android fans will be quick to point out that Android ‘did it years ago anyway’. The trouble with hardware is that even the cheapest devices are actually quite good these days and at the upper end, improvements always seem to be incremental. The real difference is going to come from the software and by that I mean specifically AI (Artificial Intelligence). You have probably all heard of Siri, Cortana, Alexa and the Google Assistant. They each seek to bridge the gap between human and computer. Google are by far the leaders in the market at the moment. They have a vast store of ever increasing data via their many products and with the acquisition of Deep Mind have been doing some amazing things. Regardless of which assistant you use, the future will see integration and interconnectivity. You can already say goodnight to your Google Assistant powered Google Home device and it will lower the heating, turn on your alarm for the morning and wish you goodnight. www.alansitsolutions.com
