Future Trends of Computer Science In Next Five Years [2017]

Trends in computer science in next 5 years There’s never been a brighter outlook for young computer science students than today. As these recent stats show, computer science graduates have some of the highest starting salaries out there and are in such high demand that they can afford to be picky about the type of job and industry they opt for. And it’s not hard to see why. Technology has been growing so exponentially over recent years, there has been a steadily increasing demand for bright graduates to come in and help to transform areas ranging from data infrastructure to cyber security. If you are interested in pursuing a career in computer science, it’s important to stay up to date with the latest trends in computer science research. We will discuss some latest trends and fields of computer science which will help you in future or in next 5 years. 1. Artificial intelligence and robotics With the global robotics industry forecast to be worth US$38 billion by 2018, a large portion of this growth is down to the strength of interest and investment in artificial intelligence (AI) – one of the most controversial and intriguing areas of computer science research. The technology is still in its early stages, but tech giants like Facebook, Google and IBM are investing huge amounts of money and resources into AI research. There’s certainly no shortage of opportunities to develop real-world applications of the technology, and there’s immense scope for break-through moments in this field. 2. Big data analytics Back in 2012, the Harvard Business Review branded data science the ‘sexiest job’ of the 21 century. Yes, you read that correctly. There has been a surge in demand for experts in this field and doubled efforts on the part of brands and agencies to boost salaries and attract data science talents. From banking to healthcare, big data analytics is everywhere, as companies increasingly attempt to make better use of the enormous datasets they have, in order to personalize and improve their services. 3. Computer-assisted education The use of computers and software to assist education and/or training, computer-assisted education brings many benefits and has many uses. For students with learning disabilities, for instance, it can provide personalized instruction and enable students to learn at their own pace, freeing the teacher to devote more time to each individual. The field is still growing but promising, with many educators praising its ability to allow students to engage in active, independent and play-based learning. 4. Bioinformatics A fascinating application of big data, bioinformatics, or the use of programming and software development to build enormous datasets of biological information for research purposes, carries enormous potential. Linking big pharma companies with software companies, bioinformatics is growing in demand and offers good job prospects for computer science researchers and graduates interested in biology, medical technology, pharmaceuticals and computer information science. 5. Cyber security Cyber security is one most hot field in future because if there is cybercrime then there will be cyber security. According to latest research Cybercrime damage costs to hit $6 trillion annually by 2021. Now to avoid these damages, Cyber security spending will to be exceed $1 trillion from 2017 to 2021. The rising tide of cybercrime has pushed cyber security spending on products and services to more than $80 billion in 2016, according to Gartner. It's not clear if that includes an accounting of IoT(Internet of things) device protection and total consumer spending on security. Global spending on cyber security products and services are predicted to exceed $1 trillion over the next five years, from 2017 to 2021.
