Top five trending predictions for the next 5-10 years. These are the trending technologies will be discussed in the coming 5 to 10 years. These topics are predicted by top IT analysers .
Internet of Things
This is an old idea but it's gained a lot of traction recently, because it's a good one. Connecting & linking not just computers, phones and tablets, but all of our devices through the cloud. Fridges, remote-locking mechanisms, coffee-makers, etc. Most consumer products can be Internet-enabled for less than $20. The only thing holding it back is the fact that the management infrastructure is not in place yet. We'll need ways to manage and utilize these networks of smart devices and objects that are in our homes and lives. This is an area that is very fragmented - yet any widely utilized application or platform will need to work across many different devices, platforms and suppliers. Many companies in the cloud storage/data management space are in a good position here.

Self driving zip cars :
We're seeing how Uber is advancing every day. People love it not because of it's new technology or anything but it revamped the very old business from the ground and made it much simpler. Likewise, Ola Cabs (company) in India has done the same or even better job in reaching out to general audience. Imagine if the cars are self-driving too? I am sure companies like Google, General Electric are spending resources towards this. We should be expecting their presence more and more going forward.
Why are we desperate for them? Amount of time people are spending in driving per day could be more resourceful. Most of the accidents are drink and driving,using mobiles etc are human blunders. They're taking over the actual feel of driving a luxury car like BMW or Mercedes.

Mobile Payments :
With rapid evolution of mobile phones, there is such a big opportunity for replacing money transactions with either an existing, or a new form of electronic currency on a very wide basis. Of course there are lots of examples of both alternative currencies and mobile payment systems today - but they are all still based around credit cards, bank accounts, etc. What we need is a whole new protocol. No one seems to have hit upon a business model that is universal and popular enough to displace physical money. And whatever emerges could replace a lot of conventional advertising as well.
Very traditional approach broken by PayPal (product) a while back and then big players like Google, Apple has got a good hands on to break this process. Apple has seen a good success so far with Apple Pay. However majority of the world still uses Credit Cards, Cash as a day to day payment channel. This has got to break. We are changing this slowly and hence mobile payments, payments through watch etc came. It's gonna spread even more with stuff like thumb impressions, watch payments, Mobile payments etc.

Artificial Intelligence :
Machines are a perfect complement to humans, not a supplement. AI has been able to do incredible things such as beating the chess masters, organize the world's knowledge in the most efficient way and compute things humans would've not done in a life time. However, making them "speak" like a 13 year old or developing an algorithm to identify if a video has a cat in it with a 75% accuracy are the most recent breakthroughs. It's amazing, once you realize anyone can do it. Humans are a product of the laws of physics iterated in an ecosystem which is planet Earth, machines are an invention of the human mind. They are made for different things.
