1. data analysis
According to IDC market researchers' estimation, by 2020, the annual data generated by the ball will reach 35ZB, or 3500 trillion GB. (Note:1zb =1.048.576pb; 1PB = 1.048 . 576 GB; This data is very abstract. JohnGantz, a researcher at IDC, said, "With ordinary DVDs, you can stack two from the earth to the moon."
2. Risk management
Futurist DavidPearceSnyder said: "The high demand for risk management skills will continue until 2020, especially when there is a close relationship between (various) businesses and the growing IT. For example, the IT technology involved in BP's oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico some time ago, as well as Toyota's handling of the' throttle door' incident. " (Editor's Note: Toyota admits that there are software defects in the car black box reader. )
3. Robotics
According to JosephCoates, a future consultant in DC Washington, by 2020, robots will "take over" more jobs. Therefore, IT practitioners with robot technology will have no worries about eating.
Coates said: "We can regard robots as humanoid devices, but we need to extend them to all automation devices." Robots include research and development, maintenance and repair. The use of related technologies will be explored in vertical markets. For example, some robots may focus on the research and development of facilities in health care and rehabilitation centers, while others may invent equipment for the disabled or learning tools for children.
4. Information security
According to the report of PricewaterhouseCoopers, since we will spend more time online, face-to-face interaction will be less and less, more personal information will be exposed online, and there are many new technologies that can easily impersonate others, it will be a big challenge to authenticate users' identities and protect privacy before 2020. Teleworkers will also become the main force of the labor force, bringing more information security risks.
5. Network technology
Snyder responded to the Bureau of Labor Statistics' prediction that "network system and data communication management will remain the top priority in 2020, but because many companies will try their best to avoid increasing employees, they ask consultants how to improve productivity and efficiency."
