Technology Trend - Ambient Computing!
Machines can now do annoyingly time consuming jobs that people have been stuck doing for years. Thats right, people will never have to place an order to refill the pretzels that ran out in the vending machine! All jokes aside, ambient computing is a very practical technology trend. The implementation of sensors, devices and artificial intelligence to our every day lives can increase people's productivity incredibly. Back to the vending machine example, businesses will no longer have to make someone call up a supplier and spend multiple minutes on the phone placing orders for snacks when they can be doing so much more important work. Now, the machine will be able to sense that it has run out of something, or running low on something for that matter, and place an order without any human interference! Ambient computing will cut out so many jobs that are so menial but need to be done!

Technology Trend - 3D printing!
3D printing has recently taken the world by storm, becoming incredibly mainstream over the past year or two. A few years ago, if someone was asked about 3D printing they would know very little about it, as it was incredibly expensive to purchase and use a 3D printer, only big time companies had them. Now, 3D printing is easily accessible for anyone that wishes to dabble in it. People can create their own models and figures on their computer and print them out, to scale, in their own homes if they do so choose!
