5 Technologies That Made Our Life Better Both in Workplace and Home

If you look at the way lifestyle and our surroundings are evolving in the hands of gadgets and hi-tech applications, at first your handheld device comes into mind. But the smartphone revolution has already seen its optimum and it is time to look towards new technologies that are constantly making lives better, whether at home or at the workplace. 

Here are 5 technologies that are transforming our lives in a never before way. 

1. Internet of Things

Internet of Things refers to all the connected gadgets we use for a variety of purposes at home, transport or at the workplace. A smart coffee maker that understands the user’s morning schedule and accordingly prepares coffee or a vigilance camera at the workplace that can capture all the activities within the premises for better security analysis and efficiency-boosting, are nice examples of the effective Internet of Things. These connected gadgets will continue to get more inputs from the Internet of Things development company with sophisticated apps. 

2. Intelligent chatbots

Artificial intelligence is already here and they are making machines more proactive, responsive and interactive by adapting to the specific user needs, preferences and behavioural patterns. But, the best application of artificial intelligence as of now has been the chatbots. Chatbots that used to work by algorithms set for answering specific queries or delivering certain information can now communicate to the user based on individual user history and behaviour. 

3. Blockchain and Cryptocurrency

The blockchain is an open and distributed database that stores data in data blocks and protect them cryptographically. By using powerful cryptographic protection and also by following strict “Write Once” protocol it never allows any data tampering and deletion. Blockchain powered cryptocurrency makes all transaction highly secure by making verification of cryptographic code mandatory. Blockchain already penetrated across other industries where there are serious security vulnerabilities concerning the transaction. 

4. VR and AR

Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) were both conceived as gaming technologies by the larger audience. Every mobile game development company was after these two technologies to deliver a unique gaming experience. Augmented Reality made a phenomenal entry with the feverishly successful Pokemon Go. But soon, other industry niches adopted VR and AR to deliver unique user experience by simulating the reality. An online store can now utilise VR for more real-store like shopping ambience and similarly, with augmented reality, the in-store shopping experience can be transformed. 

5. Smart wearable

Wearables are already here for some time but still, we refer them in relation to mostly smartwatches and fitness bands. As of now, other smart wearables like smart shoes and smart fabric have not become very mainstream. But, all the wrist wearables evolved and continues to become more sophisticated and feature-rich with every passing day. The best thing is, they are increasingly being taken seriously as medical and fitness devices by medical experts and healthcare facilities. Some smart fitness bands also made a partnership with major cloud API platforms to help to utilise user data more meaningfully for healthcare.
