what are trends


Trends and Fads

Established (Matured on the Hype Cycle)


Diffusion of Idea (Adaptation lifecycle)
But what about…
…branching technology?
…minor (single) use cases?

#trends

Artificial Intelligence
What is AI?

Artificial intelligence is the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines,


especially computer systems.

examples?

Self driving cars


virtual assistants
spam filters
recommendation engines
medical diagnosis

Trends in AI
Generative AI
AI that can create new content, such as text, images, and music
E.g. DALL-E, GPT, MuseNet, LLMS, CV, NLP
Multimodal AI
AI that can process and understand multiple types of data, such as text, images,
and video
E.g. Self-driving cars, medical diagnosis
AI democratization
Making AI tools more accessible and affordable for everyone
E.g. Notebook LM, people making their own GPT's, No Code/Low Code

Speculative design
What is it?
What is speculative design?

Speculative design is a design practice that explores future possibilities through the
creation of prototypes and scenarios.

It is a way to think about how design can be used to address complex social and
environmental challenges.
Speculative design is not about predicting the future. It is about exploring different
possibilities and thinking about how design can be used to create a better future

Design methods
Futures thinking
Speculative designers use futures thinking techniques to explore different possible
futures. This can involve identifying trends, developing scenarios, and
brainstorming new ideas.
Design fiction
Create prototypes and scenarios that are not bound by the constraints of the
present day.
Design fiction can be used to explore new technologies, new social and economic
systems, and new ways of living.
Critical design
Speculative designers also use critical design to challenge the status quo and to
explore alternative ways of being.
Critical design can be used to raise awareness of social and environmental
issues, and to promote social change.

Sample Project
Goal: To explore the future of food and to raise awareness of the challenges facing the
global food system.

A prototype for a vertical farm that can be grown in urban areas.


A scenario for a future where food is produced using synthetic biology.
A scenario for a future where food is distributed through a decentralized network of
blockchain-based micro-farms.

Block Chain
What is Block Chain?

Blockchain is a decentralized digital ledger technology that securely records


transactions across multiple computers. Each block contains a list of transactions, and
these blocks are linked together in a chronological chain, forming a continuous ledger.”

Works on:

Consensus Mechanisms
Consensus Agreement
PoWand PoS

Internet of things (IoT)


What is IoT

The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the network of physical devices, vehicles,
buildings, and other objects embedded with sensors, software, and other technologies
to connect and exchange data with other devices and systems over the internet.

Quantum Computing
Quantum computing represents a paradigm shift in computational technology,
promising to solve complex problems that are beyond the capabilities of classical
computers.
Unlike classical computers that use bits (0s and 1s) to process information, quantum
computers use quantum bits or qubits, which can exist in multiple states simultaneously
due to the principles of quantum mechanics.

Big Data analytics


Big Data refers to large and complex datasets that are difficult to process using
traditional data processing applications.
These datasets are characterized by the volume, velocity, and variety of data they
contain, often exceeding the capabilities of conventional databases and software tools.
Big Data Analytics involves the use of advanced analytic techniques to extract
meaningful insights, patterns, and correlations from these massive datasets.

Algorithms
#algorithms

Knowing fundamental algorithms can greatly enhance problem-solving skills and


proficiency in software development.
Often used for
Problem solving
Interview Preparation
Optimization
Don’t underestimate the applicational versatility of established algorithms
Sort, search, graph, string, tree, ML, Crypto…

Edge Computing
What is edge computing?

Edge computing is an emerging computing paradigm which refers to a range of


networks and devices at or near the user.

Edge is about processing data closer to where it’s being generated, enabling processing at
greater speeds and volumes, leading to greater action-led results in real time.
