> Key: ARROW-13175
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARROW-13175
> Project: Apache Arrow
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Abigail Cole
> Priority: Major
>
> Technology has remarkably changed the way we live today, there is no denial
> to it. Compared with our ancestors, we stand far away from them in using
> different technologies for our day-to-day works.
> So many technologies are developed in the past couple of years that have
> revolutionized our lives, and it's impossible to list each of them. Though
> technology changes fast with time, we can observe the trends in which it
> changes. Last year, 2016 had bought so many fresh innovative ideas and
> creations towards automation and integration etc., and this year 2017 is
> expected to continue the similar kind of trend.
> In this article, we are going to discuss some of the notable trends for this
> year, which will make us look beyond the horizon.
> Gartner's 2016 Hype Cycle for emerging technologies have identified different
> technologies that will be trending this year. The cycle illustrates the fact
> how technology innovations are redefining the relations between the customer
> and marketer.
> This year, Gartner has identified Blockchains, Connected Homes, Cognitive
> Expert Advisors, Machine Learning, Software-defined Security etc. as the
> overarching technology trends, which have the potential of reshaping the
> business models and offering enterprises the definite route to emerging
> markets and ecosystems.
> #1. Blockchain
> Popularly known as 'Distributed Ledger Technology' for both financial and
> non-financial transactions, is one of the mystifying concepts that
> technologists could only understand to the fullest. Various advancements in
> blockchain have helped many people and more businesses in 2016, to experience
> its potential in banking and finance industry. This year, it is anticipated
> that blockchain technology would go beyond just banking sector, helping the
> start-ups and established businesses to address the market needs with
> different application offerings.
> #2. Internet of Things & Smart Home Tech
> With the advent of IoT, we are already eyeing the world of inter-connected
> things, aren't we? Our dreams of living in smart homes are met to a certain
> extent in 2016. So, what is stopping us from fulfilling our dreams of living
> in smart connected homes?
> Well, the fact is that the market is full of abundant individual appliances
> and apps, but only a little amount of solutions integrate them into a single,
> inclusive user experience. It is anticipated that 2017 will notice this trend
> to undergo a big step towards fulfilling our dreams.
> #3. Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning
> In the recent times, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning have taken
> the entire world by storm with its amazing inventions and innovative
> technologies. By observing the on-going advancements in this field, it will
> be no longer an imagination to experience the world where robots and machine
> will dominate the society.
> Last year, we have witnessed the rise of ML algorithms on almost all major
> e-commerce portals and its associated mobile apps, which is further expected
> to spread across on all social networking platforms, dating websites, and
> matrimonial websites in 2017.
> #4. Software-defined Security
> In 2016, we have observed a significant growth for increased server security.
> Many organizations have started recognizing the significance of cybersecurity
> to enable their move of emerging as digital businesses. The growth of
> cloud-based infrastructure is causing a great demand for managing
> unstructured data, and moreover, the lack of technical expertise and threat
> to data security, are the key factors hindering the substantial growth of
> software-defined security market this year.
> #5. Automation
> Automation will be the mainstay throughout 2017, the coming years will be
> transformative for IT industry, enabling the automation of human performed
> tasks. When Machine Learning is combined with automation, the marketers are
> likely to witness wide business opportunities with enriched market results.
> #6. Augmented Reality (AR) & Virtual Reality (VR)
> AR and VR transform the way users interact with each other and software
> systems. The year 2016 has experienced path-breaking steps in AR and VR
> technology.
> With the launch of Oculus Rift, the market had received an overwhelming
> response from the users, making way to a plethora of VR-based apps and games.
> Further, when Pokémon Go was released, it has completely re-defined the
> definition of gaming experience. It was one of the most profitable and
> downloaded the mobile application of 2016.
> The response AR and VR technology has received last year was farfetched, and
> it forecasts that the world is ready to adopt this trend to the next levels
> in 2017.
> #7. On-Demand Services
> From the last few years, the global market has been experiencing a great
> response for on-demand services. Thanks to the start-ups like Uber, Twiggy
> etc. that started the fleet of offering on-demand cab services and food
> delivery services on just a few clicks. This trend has triggered the
> development of various mobile apps, offering multiple on-demand services on
> the fingertips. Though these services were limited to definite regions, it is
> forecast that it will reach to maximum locations in 2017.
> #8. Intelligent Apps
> Intelligent apps include technologies using personal digital assistants
> (PDAs) that have the caliber of transforming the workplace into more
> interactive, with effective communication. Using AI technology, service
> providers will *[friv
> games|https://complextime.com/friv-everything-you-need-to-know-about-it/]*
> concentrate on the autonomous business processes that will utilize the big
> data tools to the fullest, towards enhanced customer experience levels.
> #9. Humanized Big Data (Visual, Empathetic, Qualitative)
> From the last couple of years, Big Data has been the great topic and have
> created a large buzz in the global market. The intent is that mass amounts of
> collected data - which we have access to - can assist us in every little
> thing i.e. from planning advanced medical treatments to deploying exceptional
> business promotion strategies.
> Big data's biggest strength is its quantitative and numerical foundation,
> which is also a major weakness. By experiencing the success Donald Trump had
> in USA elections, there arises a big question mark on the Big Data analysis
> and its practice in decision making. It is anticipated that big data in 2017
> will undergo major advancements, which will help the marketers to humanize
> and seek empathetic, qualitative bits of data for projecting it in a more
> visualized manner.
