The 5 Biggest Technology Trends In 2023 Everyone Must Get Ready For Now
Sep 26, 2022
The Hyper-Connected, Intelligent World
This trend quite literally ties all of the others together. It’s the network of connected sensors, devices, and infrastructure that gathers the data we need to build the metaverse, create digital twins, train intelligent machines, and design new ways of enabling digital trust. This is what is known as the Internet of Things (IoT), and its impact on our lives will continue to be felt strongly in 2023.
Just one example of how intelligent data implementation will transform and improve our world...we haven't even scratched the surface of where this is going...!
Connecting data and technology to transform smart buildings
FEBRUARY 13, 2023
According to McKinsey Global Institute research, data and analytics could create value worth $9.5 trillion to $15.4 trillion per year if embedded at scale, demonstrating the true impact that silos are holding across industries. As a result, we must begin to value and comprehend our data. Only then will we be able to improve occupant safety and comfort while also saving money and meeting sustainability goals.
What is ambient computing? Everything you need to know about the rise of invisible tech
Ambient computing explained - what it is and where it is going next.
Written by Sabrina Ortiz, Associate Editor on Sept. 13, 2022
What is the future of ambient computing?
Ambient computing is an important topic today because all technology is moving in that direction. We already find ambient computing built into almost everything we use. Today, the goal of tech developers is to find ways to both create technology that facilitates everyday functions, but also works together seamlessly. With industry giants like Google and Amazon leading the space, it won't be long before everyone follows.
"Technology and connectivity will be even more pervasive in the future. That means we won't be confined to our smartphones, laptops, and the usual touch-point devices for computing needs. Platform vendors must design ecosystems with highly interoperable operating systems and services to push forward the ambient computing shift," says Low.
The key to harnessing the power of ambient computing lies in the power of the data.
"The business that is able to abstract and consolidate that data in and then add value to that data are going to create new revenue streams for them and add more value to their customers," says Seaward.
In the future, ambient computing may expand further than just the smart home.
"There'll be sectors like transport and energy that are being smarter. Whether it be a smart city, or a smarter power grid or a smarter water supply, people are more likely to see an evolution within their cities," says Seaward. "So I think you're going to see that for most places, smart cities really mean slightly better, more efficient power, slightly better, more efficient transport slightly better, more efficient, pervasive connectivity."

A significant mindset change is essential, however, if organisations are to achieve the twin goals of digitally enabled automation and sustainability. Ali McKeand, Strategic Innovation Lead, CAE Technology Services Ltd (CAE), explains how the right partners can help organisations to combine digital transformation with sustainability to both radically reduce energy consumption, and provide organisations with the foundation for continual improvement and innovation across the entire ESG strategy.
The conflict between IT investment and carbon reduction commitments has been long acknowledged. Data centres alone account for up to 1.5% of global energy consumption, projected to rise to 8% by 2030 if changes are not made.
Data tsunami heading straight for us....
Becoming truly data-driven means moving with the times
Times have changed, as have the ways organisations use data, and the value it provides to businesses. So, while traditionally the job of the CDO may have been to manage an organisation’s data ecosystem and the tech supporting it, their role will evolve. Alongside this, we’ll see new positions emerge and existing roles expand to maximise the potential and value of data. And this will mark 2023 as a turning point for many organisations as they move towards becoming truly data-driven.

Number two here. I hate to show my ignorance here, but when a data center wants to do the forklift overhaul, it doesn't make sense for them to just change out 10% of the modulators or transceivers. You have to do the whole thing. Isn't that correct? It's like a weakest link in the chain. Your first order has to be millions, not hundreds.

Fundamental Power Challenge in ICT (information and communications technology, or technologies)
ICT is projected to consume over 20% of the global energy by 2030. Interestingly, more than half the energy is not consumed in actual processing, but rather in moving data between different types of processors and memory. A large part of it is communication via copper connections where each wire must be powered to overcome resistance and capacitance for a connection to be established. Replacing these copper connections with efficient optical interconnects will drastically reduce the power consumed in ICT.

Applied Materials to invest $4 billion in Silicon Valley chip research center
Mon, May 22, 2023 at 5:01 AM EDT
SANTA CLARA, California (Reuters) - U.S. semiconductor toolmaker Applied Materials Inc on Monday said it plans to spend up to $4 billion on a research center in the heart of Silicon Valley to speed up advances in semiconductor manufacturing.
The center, which will be based in Sunnyvale, California, will come on line in 2026 and create up to 2,000 engineering jobs, said Applied, which is the world's biggest maker of the tools used in manufacturing chips.
The facility will host about $25 billion of research work over its first decade, pulling together staff from research universities and major chipmakers such as Intel Corp, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co and Samsung Electronics Co Ltd, among others.
The announcement comes as the U.S. is trying to bring back advanced semiconductor manufacturing with a $52 billion measure passed last year.
Applied Materials said the new facility, called the Equipment and Process Innovation and Commercialization (EPIC) Center, will be the size of more than three American football fields. Applied said it will invest in it over seven years and wants subsidies from the government through the CHIPS and Science Act.
"We're absolutely going to go forward. The scale of how fast we invest is going to be tied to the government incentives," Gary Dickerson, CEO of Applied Materials, told Reuters. "The economics of this are compelling in terms of accelerating the technology road maps for our customers and also for Applied."
Taking ideas from research universities and turning them into tools used in factories can take many years, said Applied executives. By putting universities and chip manufacturers under one roof with Applied, the company hopes to slash that time by nearly a third by having the three groups carry out some of their work in parallel.
U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris is expected to attend an Applied Materials' event in Silicon Valley announcing the center, along with top executives from major chip companies.
Senior administration officials briefing the media ahead of the event said the Commerce Department has received more than 300 statements of interest for the $39 billion portion of the CHIPS Act for manufacturing incentives. They said details on application requirements for $11 billion set aside for research facilities will come in the early fall.

The impact of semiconductors on the world has been profound and today there is an insatiable appetite for silicon. Over half a trillion dollars of chips were sold in 2022 and, as we enter a new age of computing powered by smart devices, big data and artificial intelligence, the industry is on a path to reach a trillion dollars by the end of the decade. Digital transformation of the economy will touch almost every aspect of our lives — from healthcare to research, retail, transportation, education, manufacturing, and agriculture.
But semiconductor leadership is not just about where chips are made. It is also critical to lead in how chips are made — the foundational technologies that will define the next generation of semiconductors. In other words, we don’t just need more chips, we need better chips that are faster, smaller, use less power and are even more affordable. But the laws of physics and economics are getting in the way; it’s a classic case of what got us here, won’t get us to where we want to go.

An interesting video on Intel ( about 1 yr ago) at the bottom of page, with new fabs currently under construction in Oregon, New Mexico, AZ, Ireland, Israel and more announcements by year's end on another US based and an EU based fab to be built, you certainly can't say they are not investing in the future, because they are dropping some serious coin!
(as of Feb 17, 2023)
Currently, Intel is building four chip production plants — two in Arizona and two in Ohio — and one advanced packaging facility in New Mexico. Intel broke ground on Fab 52 and Fab 62 in the Ocotillo campus near Phoenix, Arizona, in late September 2021, and the construction of those buildings is well underway.

Question:
Which industries are driving the development and integration of PIC technology?
Answer:
Ewit Roos, CEO of Photon Delta
"The main industry dominating the drive to develop and integrate PIC technology is optical data telecoms. If you look at the top 15 companies in optical data telecoms globally - mostly in the US, China and Japan - they're all pursuing PIC technology. This is because it's the industry with the most pressing need to reduce energy consumption, increase bandwidth and data speeds and continue Moore's Law. PICs can also be produced on the wafer scale, which is absolutely key to realizing cost efficiency - another key objective in optical data telecoms."
