AS INORGANIC AS TECHNOLOGY MAY BE, it abides by the same law that governs nature: adapt or be left behind. Emerging technology has an undeniable effect on society, especially with the advent of increasingly hyper-connected and digital-savvy lifestyles. The new year brings its fair share of developments. While this list is far from exhaustive, it includes those that will without a doubt have the most impact on our lives moving forward.

In general, data-heavy services can expect to benefit immensely from 5G support. Smart-home owners can rejoice as well, as 5G’s ability to provide a low-power wide-area network optimises the usage of smart-home products that come designed for constant and reliable connectivity.
