Artificial chat-bots will improve customer experiences in 2022 and the combination of robots and humans will enhance cognitive performance, known as augmented intelligence.

A Greener Tomorrow

Large companies like Facebook and Microsoft have already begun paving the way for sustainable data centers. In 2022 we will see many companies follow along and focus on:
- Building sustainable data centers

Along with greener data centers, we can expect to see many advancements in electronic cars, renewable energy and changes in company climate commitments.
Keeping Our Heads in the Cloud

According to Forbes,the focus will shift away from cloud tools and platforms that improve a specific problem and more toward a more holistic approach centered around enterprise wide cloud migration. In addition, companies like Google and Amazon have already invested in cloud gaming platforms where you can play games on your smartphones or tablets.
