Augmented reality will move your couch
“One of the most exciting trends in tech today is Augmented Reality, also known as AR. Imagine shopping online for a couch; with AR you can ‘place’ the couch in your space and interact with it. Move it, arrange other pieces around it, or test fabric options in real time. AR will transform the way we learn, work and play.”—Dan Monaghan, vice president of marketing at Vectorworks, Inc.

Planning is a thing of the past
“In case anyone has missed it, the new tech trend is ‘I-need-it-now.’ Can you imagine going back to calling for a taxi an hour in advance now that you have experienced the convenience of Uber and Lyft? That ‘I-need-it-now’ trend is going to hit other industries—even getting a manicure. Today, if you want a manicure, pedicure, haircut or massage, you usually have to book in advance, or take your chances and show up at a salon. Like Uber, the GoSpa app arranges massage, nail, hair appointments right when you want them. Apps like GoSpa play to this ‘I-need-it-now’ trend that fits the needs of people who want what they want when they want it. They don’t want to wait or to make plans in advance.”— Audrey Kingshott, VP Customer Service at Hugomatica.com.

Machines will learn what you like
“Artificial Intelligence and machine learning will be the biggest trends in 2018, meaning systems that can understand, learn, predict, and potentially function autonomously. The implementation of AI will be universal, for it produces more intelligent products and services. Consumers will be able to appreciate more intelligent mobile devices, cars, and other peripherals that offer personalized experiences based on each user’s preferences.”—Tarif Sayed, former head of VR and Creative Technologies for Nokia
