We are now experiencing the beginning of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (News - Alert), and advances in various technologies have already helped many industries to evolve.
Technology is influencing industries which are going through a massive innovation process in the past years. It has become hard to find a big and important industry that hasn’t yet been improved thanks to technology.
While in the past years the progress is accelerating, the main technological advancements have been recorded since decades. Groundbreaking inventions are used now on a worldwide scale, and they will continue to spread and evolve year after year.
At the core of everything is the Internet. Basically, every important development is founded on this invention which has changed the way things look and work in the world in the past 30 years.
Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), the future 5G network with much better speed and a greater availably with extended coverage, Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR), the Internet of Things (IoT), the blockchain technology, big data analysis, drones, image recognition – they are all a part of the means used with the help of the Internet connection to improve many industries.
Alright, we are not yet travelling through space on great distances, or living outside our planet, or teleporting, but the things humanity has achieved with the help of technology are already incredible.
And the best part is that we can use and enjoy a lot of these innovations in our day by day activities. Some of them are in healthcare, automotive and autonomous driving, transport, manufacturing, live online casino games, food processing, in-store shopping, or other forms of retail and ecommerce.
For example, in retail, there are things like smartphone shopping, behavioral analytics, dynamic pricing strategies, or cross-channel purchases.
Here is a few ways the industries are changing thanks to technology:
Healthcare and medicine
Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence will improve the quality of treatments, and we are expecting to see important advancements regarding digital healthcare and telemedicine.
But experts are taking it to the next level. The most precise diagnosis and the prediction at the genome level are the next best things in medicine. Then there will be the healthcare and health checks and diagnosis at home, and also live monitorization around the world with the help with wearable medical devices. VR and AR will also improve the interaction between the doctors and their patients.
All these features will not only spread, but their cost will be smaller as years pass, making them accessible to more and more vulnerable people. This way, the patients can discover a health issue more quickly, which can save lives, and also important money.
Live casino games
When it comes to the Live Casino games, the technology is used at its best. Live dealer casinos, customer care and support, the payment methods, the cybersecurity, the multiplayer experiences, the possibility to play online games from anywhere are just some of the benefits brought by the tech innovations.
For example, the 5G technology will improve the speed in such a way, that the players will be able to enjoy great connection time, and also more online interactions with other players at the same time.
Autonomous driving and transport
Autonomous driving is already here, as we can see so many vehicles without a human driver on the roads. Their number will only increase exponentially.
And this will apply to land vehicles, including taxis, and to sea and air transport as well. Having unmanned control over the ships and airplanes will mean remote control and a better (and safer) monitorization of their paths.
Last, but not least, just think of the number of lives to be saved with the implementation of this kind of technology on the vehicles used for search and rescue missions.
And not to mention the switch to electrical vehicles, which in the next decades are said to replace the biggest part of today’s fuel-propulsion cars.
