<p>Now technology today is evolving at a rapid pace, enabling faster change and progress, causing great acceleration for change.
However, it is not only technology trends and emerging technologies that are evolving, a lot more has changed this year due to the outbreak of COVID-19 making IT professionals realize that their role will not stay the same in the 'contactless' world tomorrow. And an IT professional in 2021-22 will constantly be learning, unlearning, and relearning (out of necessity if not desire). So I will give you the top technology trends to look out for this 2022:</p>
<p>🚀. Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality
VR immerses the user in an environment while AR enhances their environment. Although this technology trend has primarily been used for gaming thus far, it has also been used for training, as with VirtualShip, a simulation software used to train U.S. Navy, Army, and Coast Guard ship, captains. AR and VR have enormous potential to be used in training, entertainment, education, marketing, and even rehabilitation after an injury. Either could be used to train doctors to do surgery, offer museum-goers a deeper experience, enhance theme parks, or even enhance marketing, just like the Pepsi Max bus shelter advert.
<br><br>My Two cents is that: 14million AR and VR devices were sold in 2019. The entire global market for this technology is expected to grow to $509.2 Billion by 2023, thereby creating more opportunities for more professionals ready for this game-changing field.

<p>🚀. Blockchain
Most people think of blockchain technology in relation to cryptocurrencies like bitcoin, Ethereum, and polygon. But it offers more than that, it can be used in security in many ways. In simple terms, blockchain can be described as data you can only add to, not take away from, or change. So the term "chain" because you're making a chain of data. Do you get it? Not being able to change the previous blocks is what makes it so secure #lol, Since it's consensus-driven no one entity can take control of the data. <br><br> My Two cent is: Several industries are involved and implementing blockchain, and as the use of technology increases, so too does the demand for skilled professionals. From my point of view, a blockchain developer specializes in developing and implementing architecture and solutions using blockchain technology and their average yearly salary is around $136,000 <br><br></p>
<p>🚀 Cybersecurity
This might not seem like emerging technology, given that it has been around for a while, but it evolving just as other technologies are. That's in part because threats are constantly new. The malicious hackers who are trying to illegally access data are not ever going to give up any time soon, which is why it's a cat-and-rat chase. They will keep finding ways to get through even the toughest security measures. </p><p>My Two cent is: that new technologies are adapting and enhancing security measures so as long as we have black hat hackers, cybersecurity will remain a trending technology. As proof of the strong need for cybersecurity professionals, the number of cybersecurity jobs is growing three times faster than other tech jobs this year. According to Gartner, by 2025, 60% of organizations and startups will use cybersecurity risk as a primary determinant in conducting third-party transactions and business engagements.<br><br></p>
<p>✨Other Trending technologies are :
<br>Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning, Robotic Process Automation (RPA), Edge Computing, Quantum Computing, Internet of Things(IoT), and 5G </p>
