The biggest technology trends in 2022
The end of the year is already in sight. We have listed the biggest technology trends of 2022 for you.
In 2022, the Covid-19 pandemic will still affect our lives. That also affects the technologies we (therefore) use. Far-reaching digitization and virtualization of the business community are the result. This will be emphasized even more in the new year.

Technology Trends 2022
In fact, things have been going pretty well for the past few years. It turned out not to be that difficult to transform a society. For example, consider working from home. As long as the motivation – or pressure – is there. In 2022, the following trends will develop further.
Artificial intelligence
“Smart” really just meant connected. Smartphones, smart TVs and the plethora of other smart devices. All connected to the internet. Today, “smart” means increasingly powered by artificial intelligence (AI). Smart cars use facial recognition algorithms to know if we’re not falling asleep. Smartphones use AI algorithms to do everything. From monitoring call quality. Or to help us take better photos. As a result, this will only increase.
The no-code revolution
No-code interfaces will become more popular. This is due to a lack of programming knowledge. Whether a detailed understanding of statistics and data structures is no longer a barrier to realizing a world-changing idea. For example, OpenAI. This is a research group founded by Elon Musk. And funded by Microsoft, among others, recently unveiled Codex. This is a programming model. This model can generate code from natural, spoken human language.
Digitization, datafication and virtualization
In 2020 and 2021 we worked a lot from home. Remote working arrangements were quickly introduced. This was just a wave caused by the crisis. Presumably this will remain so. In 2022 we will become more and more familiar with the concept of a “metaverse”. An ongoing digital world. That parallels the physical world we live in.
Sustainable energy solutions
During the pandemic, renewable energy was the only form of energy whose use increased. In the US, the use of renewable energy increased by 40%. This took place during the first ten weeks of the lockdown. Worldwide, all non-renewable energy consumption has decreased. As a result, industries were closed. People also stayed at home. This leads to much less emissions. In 2022, work will continue on generating energy from renewable sources.
