Carolyn and Seth give a preview of CompTIA's 2019 IT Industry Outlook, looking at three of the trends that will be featured. Cloud computing, edge computing, and 5G will form the new economic infrastructure. IoT and AI will drive advances in ambient computing. Companies enabling the business of technology will grow their skills and change their models to sell and support emerging technology. The IT landscape continues to change, and there are growing opportunities and growing responsibilities for IT professionals.
Carolyn and Seth take a look back at the year in technology. As tech has become more ingrained in business and society, the big story is that there is no single event or innovation that stands on its own. From social media to emerging technology, the discussions happening in the IT industry are becoming broader and more concerned with wide-reaching consequences, and the industry will have to adjust its approach and its skills in order to deal with the implications of a digital revolution.
