Tech Trends in Practice

Renowned futurist Bernard Marr has written an unmissable guide to the 25 technologies that constitute the "Fourth Industrial Revolution." This unique book provides business leaders with short, digestible entries on the emerging tools poised to disrupt - perhaps even to reinvent - business as we know it. Marr covers everything from the high profile (AI, blockchain, big data) to lesser known but still unavoidable technologies (quantum computing, digital twins, natural language processing). Perfect for the busy professional, Tech Trends in Practice provides a one-sentence definition of each technology before presenting the in-depth description, a look at current uses within industry and an incisive summary of the key challenges pertinent to the near- and medium-term future. With this book in hand, readers will discover how they can use existing and upcoming technology trends to address and solve specific problems within their companies.
