IT Trends

So today I will be talking about global trends around the world.
So what are trends?
Trend is a general direction in which something is developing or changing.(google)
So there are some trends going on around the world that are related to the technology and the IT sector.

The IT sector is the  fast developing sector in the world. IT basically stands for information technology 
It includes all the programming and other types of work in the industry. Key Trends is 
(SMAC)- which basically means 
S- Social
M- Mobility
A- Analytics 
C- Cloud
So talking about social  it includes all the social  networking Websites, like facebook, instagram, twitter, linkedIn and many others social networking websites.

So the main purpose they serve is that they provide a platform for people in the world to interact with each other and share their thought, learning and many other issues around the world that people are not aware about.

In todays era social networking websites have become a must. Taking an example-
Once I saw a news report which said that—a person while travelling found a carpet on the airport that was stinking. He immediately posted this on twitter and the next day whole carpeting of that particular airport was changed. This shows the power of the social network.

Mobility- so now talking about mobility, so you can’t always carry your PC (personal computer) because it is too huge to be used at any point of time

Just like the above example the person on the airport posted it instantly but how did he post this. He did it by using his mobile phone.

Have you ever thought why do we address our phones as mobile phones, the word mobile means portable,
We can carry our smartphone wherever we want because of its size and it also has a great significance in our life because it can do mostly all the functions that the big PC’s do and adding to that we can make voice interaction with our family, friends and whosoever we want. Thus mobile phones have become an addiction.
We always consider addictions as bad but according to me they are not always bad because many people have good addictions too. Some people are addicted to studying while some are addicted to play games.
Taking in consideration people always think that game are always harmful for everybody especially children.
This is completely wrong because many people have made their career in gaming and other fields.
So we should not only study but we should keep our passion as our first priority, by saying this I do not mean that we should not focus on our studies because studies play a very vital role in our life but the point I want to express is that we should not suppress our dreams just because of some pressure from studies and other things.

Taking an example of game PUBG which stands for player unknown battle ground. This is a very famous game which is played by more than 400 million players world-wide. I being a child also play this game and love enjoying it with my friends but my parents once read a news which said that one boy kept on playing PUBG for a long period of time and finally caused himself some harm. From that day on they keep telling not to play this game. I thank my parents a lot for thinking about me, but this is completely wrong that because of one child every child should stop playing games. I know that excess of every thing is wrong but a child should not be discouraged to do what they like.

If we are stopped today from playing game then we would experience the same thing that the kids in 90’s did.So thus it is finally our choice what we choose to do on our mobiles because nothing is good and nothing is bad and each person has a separate perspective.

Moving on to analytics-
So according to me analytics is something that is widely used by E-commerce sites. The main purpose of analytics is to analyse the consumer’s likes and dislike
Taking an example of amazon, It always shows you a list of what you searched and similar things like that and they name it as ‘You may also like’. So what is this you may also like it is just that the artificial intelligence softwares of Amazon analyses your search and then helps you buy more products. Many companies around the globe is using this for many purposes like music apps such as Spotify asks you for your choice of songs and then analyses and then makes a play list of the songs that they consider you may like.
So this was analytics.

So finally we will be talking about cloud. So what is cloud, is it the one that rains and gives water. NO!
It is the place where we store our data and all kinds of information that we don’t want to loose. So talking about storage, it has been a problem for people who want their data always safe and secure with them. But the problem was that the data was not safe as it was in portable devices that could be stolen and adding to that it can only have had a limited amount of data.
But nonetheless cloud has abundant amount of storage AKA unlimited storage which helps a lot for all the big organisations and normal people to who have a lot of data.

Ever wondered what is google photos it is the cloud platform invented by google for people to save their photos and videos on. It is very helpful for people as their stuff remains safe and they have access to it anywhere, anytime and on any device. This also helps because the storage of the devices get free and devices are speeded up as they will have more processing speed.

Finally I would like to conclude that we are the people of the 21st century and we should be utilising each and every part of technology and while doing that we should also save ourselves from addiction to anything such as games, tv, web series and many more. The list of such good/bad things will continue ever after because nothing is perfect and everything has two phases and we people who are living in such era of technology will have to deal with it.
