The Relevance of Computers for the Next Decade
What will the next decade bring? Answer: The simple answer is yes. The technology of computers is already a part of almost every facet and aspect in our daily lives, and this trend will only accelerate over the coming ten years. Our world is rapidly changing and technology will make it easier for machines to evolve. Artificial intelligence (AI), for example, will likely expand beyond the current application, and AI will play an increasing role in future computing. (Chaidez 2021). The size of portable computing devices is expected to decrease, making it possible to stay connected from any location, at any time (Kalia 2015). A new cloud computing technology, which will enable greater data capacities and share computing resources, is another advantage. In the coming decade, we will see a shift in how computers interact with us. Conversational interfaces, voice assistants, and speech-to-text technology allow us to speak to computers using natural language. Augmented reality may provide users with an enhanced experience using computers (Fore 2020). In the end, computers will likely become faster and smarter and be more easily accessible. This will enable our ever-growing digital universe to flourish in leaps, bounds. Cont…
