Quantum computers are an exciting new technology which can allow for complex problems to be solved that today’s most powerful super computers cannot solve, and probably never will. They work by harnessing the phenomena of quantum mechanics, and deliver a huge leap forward in computation to solve the complex problems, which the super computers cannot.
As we approach June, we are almost at the half way stage of 2021. So we are going to look back at the trends which were predicted for the year and determine how accurate they were. Perhaps the most significant trend for many companies in 2021 was remote working, and how to adjust to the
In the previous decade companies in every industry put a huge emphasis on using Cloud based data collection and computing. The advantage to this was that their systems were centralised and accessible, allowing increased levels of security and collaboration. Although, at the start of the 2020s, we are beginning to witness a shift from Cloud
The COVID-19 pandemic, lockdowns and various other restrictions have had a great impact on people’s mental health. At the time of writing this blog post, just over 2 million people have died worldwide of COVID-19, but even more people have suffered mentally due to the circumstances of pandemic. Whether it is over fear of vulnerable
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected UK businesses in virtually every sector of the economy, forcing many to shut, downsize, reduce staff hours and furlough millions of employees. This has meant that the recruitment market was one of the main sectors that was impacted as the mass layoffs and the furlough scheme meant that there was
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many companies have had to adjust by making their employees work from home. The Office of National Statistics stated that in April 2020 46.6% of those in employment in the UK did some work from home, with 86% of these people doing so because of the COVID-19 pandemic. With such
Over the next few years we will start to see Fifth Generation mobile internet (5G) become more mainstream in everyday life and business, from the world of retail to farming and factories. What is 5G? Through a greater use of the radio spectrum, 5G will allow more devices to access the internet at
As technology evolves and develops, more and more of our lives are being conducted online. With more company and personal data being stored online, there is an even greater threat from cyber-crime than ever before, meaning that cybersecurity will become a key issue for every company. A Study by Michel Cukier at the University of
Blockchain: Speeding up transactions, building trust and guaranteeing provenance to grease the wheels of commerce. Blockchain works when someone asserts a transaction i.e. ‘I want to pay you X for something’. This transaction is then broadcast to all connected computers that are participating in that blockchain. Participants assess the transaction and then approve or deny
Artificial Intelligence: Super-fast data crunching, pricing insurance policies and potentially curing cancer. The real question is – what problems can’t AI help with? Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the hot trend that’s on every tech evangelists’ lips right now. We see AI doing the more mundane computer-based tasks which are better off done by computer so
