Technological advancements have been a key spot of change that have occured in the world. Every day there are new things coming up which are more complicated, more advanced and require more effort to learn them. People are working day and night on researches, experiments, brainstorming on how to solve a problem using technology. I bet technological advancement in the new revolution that will happen and happening now. With the great tremendous changes happening everyday it will cause us to change and adopt it since everything will revolve around technology. Some of the technologies causing a lot of shock waves in the local market kenya and beyond include:
MPESA- this is a product powered by Safaricom and its a people's product and everyone resonate with it among kenyans. It reached 10th year anniversary this year and was hugely celebrated for the tremendous transformation it has made. For those who are not aware what MPESA is all about its a combination of swahili and english where M stands for mobile while MPESA means money. It is a mobile money transfer service that allows one to transfer money from one person to another using an application. It allows one to deposit, withdraw, transfer money. One can also check balance and also seek for a mini statement within the application.
Bots and chat box-This is a machine learning application that has intelligence to answer you questions about a particular field. It allows one to interact with it like and look like you are talking with another person. there are various bots that have been developed e.g. weather channel bot, health bots. For example some friends of mine made a health bot called Sophie that gives awareness, educate on sexual reproductive health. one can pose a question and will instantly give an answer with accuracy. This is so great of them . Bots are the new thing in messaging apps and other that automate the tasks you perform and give you a direction on what to do.They doing most of the work the customer help desk perform and are becoming a choice for most companies. some of the companies that have implemented bots include twitter, facebook(wechat bot), google. Bots are growing in number due to they promise of a way to save you time and due to the failure of some application. They are seen to make advertising being done better and eCommerce growing.
Cryptocurrency- world wide digital asset which are become very popular even in Kenya. It is said to have been in the year 2008 and invented by Satoshi Nakamoto. who is an unknown inventor of bitcoins. In simpler terms bitcoins is a peer to peer cash system. They various forms of cryptocurrency including bitcoins, ethereum, lite coin, Zcash, Ripper, Monera. The most common and popular is bitcoins. Bitcoins has taken over and been very rampant. So what is bitcoins and how does it work and whats the difference between bitcoins and other forms of cryptocurrency. Is it coins in bits form i think so but it does not clearly show what it is exacly but bitcoins in a broader spectrum is a decentralized currency that is not controlled by any government or banks. it is not physical but public ledgers kept in the cloud. They are people who are called "miners" what a crazy word hahaha who complete a transaction through confirmation that the transfer of bitcoins is successful. let me give an example of a bitcoin transaction to make it better understandable" Steve gives y bitcoins to john." Every transaction has to be confirmed otherwise it can be forged and once confirmed it cannot be reversed. Cryptocurrency is also known as blockchain.
Virtual reality- It is a computer technology that involves use of virtual reality handsets, special gloves and omni directional trendmills and they used to simulate our senses to think of the actions being portrayed as happen at that particular time. I have had an experience and you think you are in another world since they make everything look real and most of them are support 3D effects. They mostly used in movie theaters, gaming activities, architecture fields. The experience with them mostly when watching movies is really awesome. in the future it will be implemented even in educating people about a certain thing. Some example of virtual reality handset include sony playstation VR, Google daydream,microsoft windows 10 mixed reality platform.The most surprising thing about them they are not too expensive despite they advancement and complexity in making them. They are of two types tethered and mobile. Mobile handset have lenses in which you place your phone. For tethered ones they are directly connected to the PC
