7. Conversational Systems

Currently, there are plenty of conversational systems out there, systems set in place that will give you answers to your most dire questions about the weather for the day, which take the form of personal assistants, like Google Home, Alexa, Siri or Cortana.

The largest shift we’re going to see in the years to come, however, is the fact that these systems will become a lot smarter, a lot better at keeping up a conversation like humans do. They won’t just respond to your questions, they’ll predict communicational patterns, use additional sensors and generally communicate with you in more than one way. You might even expect this out of your appliances, or your IoT systems.

In the rapidly-changing world around us, it really shouldn’t surprise us too much when we’ll be keeping conversations with our computers.
