Know more about the New Tech Facts

The Internet is growing exponentially and computers transmit an average of 2.9 devices with them at all times. According to statistics, AI can predict heart attacks, and computer sales are set to hit $469.4 billion by 2021. Read on to learn more fascinating New Tech Facts. Here's a sampling of some of the most interesting ones:

INTERNET USAGE IS GROWING EXPONENTIALLY

It's no secret that Internet usage is cumulative exponentially, and this trend is set to continue. Last year, more than half of all internet traffic was generated by machine-to-machine communication. The number of connections facilitated by the internet is far outpacing the resources dedicated to its maintenance. Today's sophisticated devices - from pacemakers to smart TVs - are constantly transferring data. If you want to know how much data you generate and use, it's important to keep up with the growth of the Internet.

AI PREDICTS HEART ATTACKS

AI can now predict heart attacks by analyzing CTA images. The algorithm has shown a remarkable 74% accuracy compared to a physician's best guesses. Researchers hope this new tool will assistance doctors tailor their treatments to their patients' unique needs. Similarly, other efforts to discover signals in heart disease have focused on studying electrocardiogram data and ultrasound scans. AI is now poised to help us identify these signals even before the heart attack occurs.

SEMICONDUCTOR SALES WILL REACH $469.4 BILLION IN 2021

The semiconductor industry is experiencing a strong growth, and analysts predict that the market for semiconductors will continue to grow. According to the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics Organization, semiconductor sales will total $469.4 billion in 2021, up 8.4% from the year prior. However, a shortage in global chip production capacity is expected to continue. China is the largest market for integrated circuits, and as a result a shortage will impact domestic electronics companies.

VR USERS WILL REACH 51.8% BY 2021

According to a study conducted by eMarketer, there will be 42.9 million VR users in the US in 2019. While this represents a modest increase from last year's 42.5 million users, the combined number is expected to rise to a staggering 51.8% by 2021. According to Tech blog Trends, 62% of parents are excited about the potential of VR for their children's education. The report also predicts that VR will generate $1.8 billion in retail revenue by 2022.

INTERNET CONNECTIVITY IS FOUNDATION OF OUR COLLECTIVE FUTURE

Many articles refer to the Internet as an "information superhighway" and suggest a variety of possibilities from 500-channel cable television to global electronic libraries. Yet these "infobahn" metaphors obscure the true use and benefits of the Internet. Internet connectivity is the foundation of our collective future, and today, it connects a considerable portion of the world.
