The Top 5 Technology Trends for 2022: The Year of Decentralisation

Last year, I coined 2021 the Year of Digitalism as I foresaw the increase of corporate and governmental data surveillance. Unfortunately, it is safe to say that this has come true with Big Tech becoming more powerful than ever before and governments worldwide implementing Covid tracking apps. What also happened is that the Pandemic has been a strong catalyst for digital transformation in any sector and that the world is currently changing at lightning speed. There are economic changes such as increasing inflation rates, environmental disasters caused by climate change, social changes such as The Great Resignation, and a convergence of technologies that drives technological changes. Although the world has never changed so fast as in 2021, this year was also the most stable of all the years to come in this decade.
