3. Virtual reality & Augmented reality -AR & VR

Virtual reality is an artificial environment that's created with software and presented to the user in such a way that user suspends belief and accepts it as a real environment. Few examples of VR are jogging with a VR TV, Flight simulation, Immersive VR gaming. Augmented Reality is a technology which combines virtual reality with the real world in the form of live video imaginary! Both of AR & VR have numerous real-life apps. For example, the medical student uses AR technology to practice surgery in a controlled environment, AR is used extensively in mobile gaming which works on video and the real world, for example, Pokemon GO which contributed $600 Million in AR revenue in its first 3 months!

2. Blockchain

1. Artificial intelligence

Artificial Intelligence is not something new, it was first used In the year 1952 by John MaCarthy but due to lack of data and computing power it wasn't feasible at that time but now with enormous data and huge computing power, it's possible and especially with technologies like Deep Learning and Machine Learning. Artificial intelligence is basically creating intelligent software making a machine smarter making it think, analyze and make decisions basis on the huge amount of data we have. Data is the big thing of the 21st century and the race to dominate the market of AI between IT giants has just begun. Industries like retail, aerospace, finance, education are extensively using AI to enhance customer service.

Summary:

The war of It has just begun, whether we think of currency in our pockets or about the Apps in our mobiles. Technology is touching new milestones with each passing day. The Robotic Process of Automation is million dollars
