The 10 technologies that will make 2019
Standalone objects
Whether robots, drones or vacuum cleaners: autonomous objects practice that they do not force a person to monitor their work. The Gartner analyst talks about the possible synergy between the different autonomous devices, which can collaborate together. "For example, if a drone examines a large field and learns that it is ready to be harvested, he can call an" independent harvester, "says David Cearley.
Enhanced data analysis
Important decisions are largely based on rationality. For this reason, understanding data is a key issue for many companies. Augmented analytics is about transforming these data, to make them more accessible. Gartner believes that the human resources, finance, sales or marketing sectors will be affected by this technology.
If artificial intelligence highlights the important data for the sector in question, the use of a professional data scientist will become optional. In concrete terms, ordinary workers become able to contribute to analytics. Until 2020, David Cearley estimates a five times higher growth of these citizens, compared to the data experts that we find today.
Development by the AI
From harvesting data to testing the application: artificial intelligence can facilitate the process of creation. Application developers have access to several predefined templates in this scenario. The idea is that non-professionals are able to meet the needs of users without knowing how to code. "The tools that allow non-professionals to generate applications without coding are not new, but we expect systems using artificial intelligence to bring a new level of flexibility," says the expert.
Digital twins
Digital twins - or digital twins in English - refer to the digital representation of the real world. Sensors that collect particle data or topographic data open up infinite possibilities. For the research firm, digital twins have existed for several years, but improvements in the field of big data and data processing are increasing the potential of these representations of the world.
Immersive technologies
Between virtual, augmented and mixed realities, companies are discovering new ways to reach the customer. Used well, these technologies allow users to interact with the world. Gartner estimates that 70% of companies will have experimented with immersive technologies by 2022.
The effectiveness of virtual assistants should increase, and thus improve the answers given to users. In the end, people will be in contact with many of these entities, from their watches to their cars, through their lamps.
Blockchain
Blockchain is a technology known and used by many companies. For different sectors, the possibility of making non-centralized transactions is very interesting. Gartner's experts talk about potentially lower costs, reduced processing time and better circulation of money.

Smart spaces
Always related to artificial intelligence and sensors: intelligent spaces become achievable goals. In Geneva or Lausanne, for example, dumpsters are equipped with sensors. The driver who makes the tour with his garbage truck targets the most filled sectors first and gains in efficiency.
Digital and private ethics
How important is privacy? At a time when social networks like Facebook are accused of selling personal data, companies should pay attention to their account management. For Gartner, consumers can act. With laws like data protection, governments tend to better regulate this trade. A company with a consumer-friendly ethic is likely to build long-term trust.
Quantum computing
Behind this term lies an optimization concept. Gartner uses as metaphor the processing of a collection of books. Where a standard computer will read each book one by one, quantum computing is all about reading at the same time. Experts from Google explained the challenges of technology in a blog post. They consider that the structures
