Subject: [Informatics] 2016 Gartner Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies

This is worth sharing with your senior VCE Computing students, especially when you consider some of the interesting challenges and changes we have made to our study.

The Gartner Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies is an interesting peek into the future for the next decade. This 2016 report has an interesting angle when you consider all these emerging technologies .. its data, and lots of it.

"Organisations need to be ready for this data flood coming their way and they need to have the algorithms and technology ready to derive actions from it. Only then will they be able to benefit from these emerging technologies and create competitive advantage."
