Making a new appearance in the cycle which Gartner says is this year defined by technology for digital humanism – the notion that people are the central focus in the manifestation – is people-literate technology (PLT). Market penetration is less than one per cent and development of the technology remains in the research labs of places such as the US military's Defense Advanced Research Laboratory (DARPA). This will have wide-ranging implications for businesses' technological, social, economic and legal practices across the globe."
"Smart dust will transform the way humans interact with their surroundings and create new ways for businesses to deliver services, while reducing costs in the process. Given the embryonic stage of this technology's development, vendors should stake their claims via patent development for commercial applications, direct funding for research projects or equity funding for companies engaged in research and development," said Gartner analyst Ganesh Ramamoorthy, of the embryonic technology which is expected to have a "transformative effect on all areas of business, and on people's lives in general." "The potential benefits of smart dust are compelling and transformational. Smart dust are tiny computers no bigger than a snowflake which could potentially be all around us monitoring temperature and movement and feeding back data on our surroundings. Smart dust sits at the earliest, and possibly most exciting point in this year's cycle, called the innovation trigger. Here are three innovation triggers which could just be the next driverless car. While some of these may have fallen out of fashion completely, others may have been removed because they have now gone mainstream – in the case of wearable interfaces, Google Glass and the Apple Watch demonstrate both at once – or particular technologies may have merged into a larger trend. Off the hype cycle completely comes the quantified self, the smart workspace and wearable user interfaces.
Investments continue only if the surviving providers improve their products to the satisfaction of early adopters." Here also lies cryptocurrency exchange technology, despite it making its first appearance in the cycle, and cloud computing.Ĭonnected homes have shifted forwards from post trigger in last year's cycle to pre-peak as a result, Gartner said, of the entirely new solutions and platforms being developed by new and existing manufacturers.
Producers of the technology shake out or fail. The trough of disillusionment is exactly what you might expect, and in Gartner's own words: "Interest wanes as experiments and implementations fail to deliver.
