Next year’s technological innovations will help us do things faster, while keeping a close eye on our work and our health. From mind-bogglingly fast quantum computers to faster mobile phone services, there’s a lot to look forward to in 2021.

There are many 5G phones coming to market, but coverage of the superfast technology is limited. Next year, wireless companies will expand their networks and open up a whole new world of possibilities for mobile devices.

“As COVID restrictions ease, video will continue to account for the majority of data consumption. But Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) technology, which aims to provide a ‘fiber-like’ connection in homes via 4G/5G, will gain more popularity, especially in suburban and rural areas,” predicts Marc Serra Jaumot, CMO and head of business development at Infovista.

Artificial intelligence is getting eerily lifelike. This year, OpenAI unveiled a new system, GPT-3, that can have incredibly realistic conversations.
