Distributed Ledger Technology:

Blockchain which is already growing will be fully scalable by 2023

Most people have the concept that blockchain technology is in relation to cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin. It is a distributed ledger with irrevocable transactional records, which are shared by the participants in the network. Since they are consensus driven, no one entity can control the data. And so, you don’t need a trusted third party to check and validate the transactions.

Blockchain technology is the latest trend followed by companies which allows two or more parties unknown to each other to safely interact in the digital environment.

Computer Vision:

Vision in computer terms means systems which are able to identify the items. Objects, places or people for visual images which are collected by either a camera or a sensor. This technology allows the smartphone camera to easily recognize the face in an image and it also powers technology like the Google Image Search.

As we move towards 2020, we will see computer vision equipped with technology that are rolled out for an ever increasing number of users. Production lines and ecommerce businesses will employ computer vision cameras to identify defective products or any equipment failures and send alerts to anything that is out of the ordinary without having a 24/7 monitoring system.
