In October, Gartner announced the top technology trends<\/a> that it saw will drive the technical events of 2012. \u00a0The trend list was presented by David Cearley<\/a>, Distinguished Analyst & Gartner Fellow at Gartner. \u00a0Cearley said that the over-arching trend is the “digitization of everything”.<\/p>\n

Human Experience<\/span><\/p>\n

1 \u00a0 Media Tablets<\/strong> and wide variety of new form factors<\/p>\n

2 \u00a0Mobile-centric applications<\/strong>. \u00a0Increasingly touch, gesture, search and voice will replace windows, icons, menus and pointers. \u00a0Use of HTML5 to build web-based applications instead applications based on native platforms will become more commonplace.<\/p>\n

3 \u00a0Context and Social-aware applications<\/strong>. \u00a0Based on your location and previous social interactions, applications will become smarter, knowing who you are and where you currently are.<\/p>\n

Business Experience<\/span><\/p>\n

4 \u00a0Internet of Things (IoT)<\/strong>. \u00a0The Internet will become more highly interconnected with devices, including sensors, mobile devices and smart buildings.<\/p>\n

5 \u00a0App Stores and Marketplaces<\/strong>. \u00a0Both consumer and enterprise on-line marketplaces will become commonplace. \u00a0Gartner predicsts that 70 billion mobile apps will be downloaded in 2014.<\/p>\n

6 \u00a0Analytics<\/strong>. \u00a0Real-time complex analytics that includes structure, unstructured and social information will become more widely used for collaboration and decision making. \u00a0Analytics will also be used for simulation, prediction and optimization.<\/p>\n

IT Department Experience<\/span><\/p>\n

7 \u00a0Big Data<\/strong>. \u00a0The amount of data continues to increase. \u00a0It will be increasingly difficult to build single data warehouses — logical data warehouses that can access data from multiple sources will become increasingly necessary.<\/p>\n

8 \u00a0In-Memory Computing<\/strong>. \u00a0 The use of flash memory will increase in both consumer devices and in IT systems. \u00a0Embedded memory provides the advantage of minimized space and heat requirements, more rugged and higher performance.<\/p>\n

9 \u00a0Low-Engergy Green Servers<\/strong>. \u00a0For some applications,low-power processors that consume very little power will take over some tasks that have non-intensive computing requirements<\/p>\n

10 Cloud Computing.<\/strong><\/p>\n
