Major Tech Advancements in 2023

2023 has brought a lot of changes in many aspects of our lives. For one, the internet has solidified its position as a central aspect of our day-to-day lives. Most people rely on their smartphones to remain connected to the web all the time. The introduction of 5G networks even further propelled the rise of internet-enabled devices since it increased the opportunities for both businesses and individuals to stay online on the move. Plus, there are many new innovations that have been developed in this time period, including high-tech wearables and cryptocurrencies. 

Actually, cryptocurrencies have also become popular and are used for everything from buying groceries, and investing in other currencies, to buying coffee.

In the future, it is predicted that we will be living in a world where there are more technological advancements than we can even imagine. It’s not just about smartphones anymore or new cryptocurrencies; everything has become’ smarter and digitized. But what are the main tech innovations that stand out in 2023? Let’s take a look at the most important tech innovations below.

Smart Watch

Smartwatches as digital devices have increasingly become popular due to the advanced 5G networks and technological innovations, which allowed them to become integrated with our personal lives and healthcare goals.

 They have become the foundation for anyone that wants to become fitter or reach their lifestyle objectives. Beyond that they are also on the way to becoming the new portable computers which will evtaully  replace smartphones altogether. You can use your smartwatch to listen to music, make a payment, make phone calls, chat with your friends on social media platforms, send text messages and even draft emails. Moreover, you can also use smartwatches as a way to get entertained on the go.

For example, you will be able to play simple mobile games like Candy Crush or even slot games. Online casinos that are open to tech advancements are also looking to adapt their titles for smartwatches. Otherwise, you can play most casino games on the go, as almost every casino site is mobile-friendly.

Not only that, but many reputable mobile casinos have separate mobile casino applications that allow you to access the same online casino but from a mobile app. It isn’t still a saturated aspect of the iGaming market, and we expect in the future for more iGaming apps to enter the mobile casino market. Right now, you can register on legal Ontario apps and then try your luck with high-quality mobile casino games from every category – slot games, poker, baccarat, live casino games and much more.

So, it is safe to say that smartwatches have more functionalities than just telling the time. Today they are integrated with Alexa or Siri and used for surfing the web, making phone calls and tracking bodily functions. 

For example, it is expected for any decent smartwatch to be able to track your body movement, heart rate, and breathing pattern and alert you if it notices any abnormalities. 

Blockchain Technology

Blockchain technology is not really a new way to store data. It is a fully decentralized blockchain network and peer-to-peer based, which means – there is no single point of failure, and no external entity can ever take control of it. In other words, it cannot be hacked, and the data cannot be lost. IBM has been working on blockchain-based solutions for many years now, and they have collaborated with big brands like Walmart and Carrefour with their supply-chain management technology.

Actually, they are known for their blockchain-based solutions in these sectors, specifically TradeLens, which has been used by Maersk to track products in the international supply chain and offer enhanced transparency to the supply chain processes and stakeholders. In our opinion, in 2023, different blockchain-based solutions will be applied in various industries.

Next, cryptocurrencies have also become popular in the sense that many businesses which are reputable online and offline have decided to accept crypto payments. Some examples include PayPal. Microsoft, Burger King, PayPal, AT&T, and other popular brands.

Bitcoin was the first cryptocurrency that was ever created, and its increasing popularity created more space for the development of the crypto markets and other virtual currencies. As we can see, it has slowly made its way to the mainstream, and actually, there are many governments around the world that further support the implementation of cryptocurrencies.

It can also be used for other purposes as well. Thanks to Ethereum’s blockchain, there has been a rise in NFTs as well as decentralized financial applications and other solutions which will be implemented in the financial industry.

Smart Houses

Smart houses are the foundation for smart cities, and they are no longer the objects of the future or Sci-fi films anymore. They are already being built thanks to the IoT communication between gadgets, smart speakers, smart TVs, and voice recognition technology which allows you to communicate with your smart devices from the comfort of your own home without even lifting a finger.

For example, smart assistants are able to complete many commands, from finding your remote to checking the weather forecast and making online purchases. Smart thermometers will be able to adjust the settings based on your commands, and obviously, there are many other devices that will ultimately ‘make’ the smart house the reality for households across the globe. 

In terms of smart cities, there are governmental plans for governments around the world which are set to make cities greener or to reduce pollution. They are also based on the Internet of Things technology with different gadgets and applications that communicate with each other in order to make the life of the citizens easier.

However, these are very big and costly projects that are still in the making, and there are many stakeholders as well as other non-technological aspects that should be considered before the deployment of smart cities, for example, big data and artificial intelligence technology and how they will process the collected data of the citizens.

Summary

The year 2023 is certainly a milestone in the history of technology that paves the way for a different world. Thanks to various tech innovations such as the internet of things, 5G network and voice recognition technology, and AI technology, we expect to see a rapidly changing digital society that will change the way we live in the future.
