      1. Robotic Process Automation
                               

                    Robotic Process Automation or RPA. Just like AI and Machine Learning, Robotic Process Automation, or RPA is another technology that is automating jobs. It is the utilization or software to automate business processes such as dealing with data processing transactions and even replying to emails. RPA automates the mundane tasks that were previously done by us. Companies readily hiring RP engineers are: Blueprism, UI path, IBM, etc.

     2.  3D printing
 
                                
                   3D printing is a process through which physical objects are generated by depositing    materials in layers based on a digital model. All 3D printing operations requires software, hardware, material to work simultaneously. 3D painters can be used to create  3D printing consumer products like eyewear, footwear, design furnitures. Industrial products like manufacturing tools, prototypes,functional end-use parts, dental products, and prosthetics. Companies such as General Electrics, Ford. Hershey's, are already innovatively using 3D  printing.

   3.  Virtual Reality

                                     

                 Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality. Virtual Reality, and it's cousin Augmented Reality is the use of Computer Technology to create a simulated environment. Instead of looking at a screen in front, users are immersed and can interact with 3D world. By simulating as many senses as possible, such as vision, hearing, touch, the computer teleports the user to an artificial  world.
            The only difference between AR and VR, is AR, simulates artificial objects in the real world, while Virtual Reality creates a totally different artificial environment. This technology, though not very new, has seen a magnanimous rise in popularity in recent years. Few companies operating in this field are: Microsoft, Hawaii, Facebook, Google, etc. 

    4. The internet of things 
                               

         
                        we have IoT. The internet of things is a rapidly growing technology that targets to connect all devices to the already prevailing internet infrastructure. IoT market is rapidly evolving and progressing day by day. According to Forbes, for Business-to-Business spending on IOT technologies, apps and solutions will estimate over $267 billion by 2020. Companies readily employing IOT experts are Apple, Microsoft, Google, and Amazon.

   5. 5G Technology

                              


                         We have 5G Technology. 5G is the next generation of mobile  broadband, that will in time succeed 4G LTE connection. With 5G download and upload speed increases exponentially. The time taken by devices to communicate with wireless networks also decreases drastically. Peak data rates can hit 20 Gbps downlink and 10Gbp uplink per  mobile base station. Type of industries using it, autonomous vehicles, the healthcare sector, public welfare sector, and so on. Companies involved with this technology are Samson, Hawaii,Qualcomm, and Cisco.

   6.  blockchain

                                 

                          Blockchain can be categorized as a data structure that holds transactional records and  while warranting security, transparency, and decentralization it is similar to a chain of records stored in the form of blocks, not controlled by any single authority. Each transaction on a blockchain is encrypted with a digital signature that validates its authenticity. This makes the data stored on the blockchain tamper-proof and secure. With Bitcoin, blockchain's earliest application this revolutionary technology was first introduced in the market. Companies extensively working on this technology include IBM, mythical games, salt lending, and Gemini.

   7. Cloud Computing
 
                                         

                     Cloud Computing. In the simplest terms, Cloud Computing means storing and accessing data and programs over the internet. According to research from IDC, building  the  infrastructure to support Cloud Computing now accounts for  more than a third of all IT spending worldwide. The most prominent companies in Cloud Computing are Amazon Web Services. Microsoft Azure, Google cloud platform. IBM cloud service.

   8. DevOps

                            

          "Dev" means software application development, and "Ops" refers to IT operations. DevOps is a technology culture overtaking taking the business world. It incorporates developers and operation team in order to improve collaboration and productivity by automating infrastructure workflow and continuously measuring application performance. Companies like Amazon,  Netflix, NASA, and Facebook are the most prominent ones.

   9. Cyber Security

                                    


                    With technology being everywhere today, lack of security is a major concern. Cyber  security is securing systems, networks, and programs from digital attack. Achieving efficient cyber security measure is especially challenging because there are more devices and people also, the attackers are becoming more and more innovative day by day. Few companies that  work to make technology more secure are: IBM Delloite, Amazon and JP Morgan.

   10.  AI  Artificial Intelligence
                               
                                      
                    nowadays. Artificial Intelligence is the capability of a computer program or a machine to  think and learn. The smart computer work on their own without needing the commands to be encoded. At present we use the term AI for successfully understanding human speech, competing at a high level in strategic game system, such as, chess, and Go, self driving cars and  interpreting complex data. The paramount goal of AI research is to create computer programs that can learn, solve problems and think logically. Top Companies that are hiring in this department are Google, Facebook, Amazon, IBM, and so on.


So these were our top 10 technologies of 2020.
