IEEE Computer Society: Technology Predictions for Times of Pandemics
Predicting the future is never easy, it always entails a degree of uncertainty, if not luck. Predicting technology trends is even harder as it requires both technical and business acumen. In times of pandemics, predicting technology trends carry an even greater weight as it deals with human lives, global economies, and humanity as a whole. Listen to the experts from IEEE Computer Society share their technology predictions for this unprecedented time.

IEEE Computer Society: Predictions for 2021 & Beyond
IEEE Computer Society Technologists will cover technologies that will make a difference in 2021, either in terms of adoptions or reaching maturity. We will discuss the problems, demand, opportunities, impact, and sustainable solutions for each technology. We will then compare the predictions in terms of impact, likelihood and our confidence in the predictions.
