The Tech Talk:  IOD, HIL, RDF, IKE, LVH, 4DS and XF1

Technology is the usage of scientific knowledge for practical purposes. Technology has a wide presence in almost every segment/industry. Let’s look at some of the common types of technology.

• Information Technology.
• Sensors
• IoT
• Networks
• Transport (e.g., aircraft, bullet trains etc.)
• Energy (e.g., solar panel, grid, turbines etc.)
• Entertainment and media
• Agriculture
• Art and music
• Household appliances
• Architecture (e.g., smart homes)
• Semi-conductor
• Medical technology
• Space technology
• Robotics
• Cloud-Computing
• Artificial Intelligence and many more.

As per the recent analysis by Deloitte, amongst various technologies, cloud computing and artificial intelligence would dominate the technology sector in 2020 on a global scale. The year 2020 would be a breakout year for “edge computing.”

At present, Australia is trailing behind its global peers and is lagging in capturing the opportunities of the fast-growing global digital economy. Australia is in the second last position amongst the OECD countries according to the relative size of its technology sector and its contribution to the economy.

A report from Data61 states that Digital innovation can provide $315 billion in gross economic value to the country over the next 10 years. This could make it an important component in the country’s ongoing success. However, the risk is that Australia would not completely realize the opportunity. The new analysis by Data61 shows that the country in the past, apart from a few successes, has failed to capitalize on the economic value derived from digital innovation as compared to other nations. The productivity gain from technology has remained below that of the peer countries. Thus, to ensure that Australia attains the full economic benefit of digital innovation in the upcoming period, there is a requirement of a new vision for digital achievement.

In this article, we will look at a few technology companies and know about them and their upcoming digital innovations.
