Gartner Emerging Technology Assessment Report: Flat cloud computing will become mainstream

New technology from the birth to the realization of the mainstream application of the five cycle of Beijing time October 9 Morning news, according to foreign media reports, research institute Gartner Thursday released the 2010 Emerging Technologies Assessment Report, covering 1800 new technologies to maturity and development trends in a comprehensive study. The report divides the process of the new technology from the birth to the mainstream into five cycles: the technology-driven phase, the expectation reaches the peak stage, the real understanding stage, the smooth rise stage and the stable production stage.　　Each stage has its own different market, investment and application characteristics.　　The report says 2010 years of "peak expectations" of popular technology include private cloud technology, augmented reality technology, multimedia tablet (ipad, etc.), wireless energy technology, 3D flat panel TV and display technology and activity streams technology.　　and cloud computing and cloud self-help platform technology have crossed the expected peak phase, will soon reach the "real understanding phase", that is, enterprise users will have a comprehensive and correct understanding of cloud computing. Gartner reports that the transition technologies that will become mainstream within five years include multimedia tablets, cloud computing and cloud self-help platforms.　　In the longer term, 3D printing, scene-aware technology, mobile robots, automatic locomotives, terahertz waves, and human enhancement technologies are expected to become transitional technologies in many industries in the future, more than five years later. This year's emerging technology assessment reports mainly include the following technical areas: User experience and Interaction: New user interaction will drive new usage patterns and provide an opportunity for major companies or organizations to deliver innovative information and communication.　　This includes multimedia Tablet PCs, 3D flat screen TVs and display, gesture recognition or touch UI. Augmented reality, situational awareness and virtual Web technology: In the future, Web technology will walk out of the computer desktop and into people's daily lives. This creates opportunities for personalization and situational awareness technologies. Using platforms such as iphones and Android, position-aware applications will reach a ripe stage.　　Other technologies, such as 4G network standards, sensor network technologies and context-transfer architectures, are evolving slowly, but will ultimately play an important role in the process of changing the world of information technology. Data-based decisions: the number and type of digital information continues to grow at an explosive rate, while also providing opportunities for location information and social media development.　　Technologies such as predictive data analysis are the technologies developed from the examples, and their future value will depend on whether they can be applied to new fields, such as social data analysis and emotional data analysis. Cloud computing: The application and impact of cloud computing continues to grow. The technology has just emerged from the "peak of expectations" in the "Emerging technology development cycle". Private cloud computing has yet to reach its desired peak.　　Because of the growing interest in the technology industry for cloud self-help platforms and mobile app stores, Gartner has a big close-up of these two areas in the report.　　The value of other technologies: some other technologies, such as mobile robots and 3D printing, are not yet widely used, but they are of great value in some areas as long as they are used properly. Gartner analysts say the "New Technology Assessment Report" provides an important reference for the industry in the study of new technology cycles and trends. Gartner divides the development of emerging technologies into phases that apply not only to Gartner's research on emerging technologies, but also to the research of a particular domain or technology portfolio within an IT company.
