Discussion and Response topic future trends in information systems infrastructure

by Arun Nakirikanti 

One of the facts that cannot be overlooked is that technology keeps on advancing, and so is the world. As technology advances, people are continuing to learn new ways they can use to share information concerning various issues that affect their lives. This brings us to the issue of information systems infrastructure. Many organizations have taken advantage of their information systems infrastructure to be where they are today. However, the use of these systems is expected to continue growing because many organizations and people have known how important they are. There are many future trends in information systems infrastructure. I will select two of these, which I will discuss in this discussion.

The first future trend in information systems infrastructure is the creation of wearable devices that people can use to communicate. According to Gil Gómez, Arango Serna & Oltra Badenes (2018), people look at their phones for at least 150 times per day. They do it while making phone calls, listening to music, and chatting on social media. Wearable technologies keep on evolving, and in the future, they are expected to continue improving. We already have one of these technologies, and it is called Google Glass, and it is worn on the eyes just like a pair of eyeglasses. This is just an impression of how the future of information systems infrastructure is going to look like (Bryant, 2018).

I have already mentioned social media on the first but, I would like to discuss it as a trend of its own. We will all agree that social media has evolved over the past few years, thanks to technological advancement. Almost everyone in society today owns a smartphone, which he or she uses to interact with friends and family members on social media. Social media is going to take over the field of information systems due to its impact on people’s lives and business activities (Oltra Badenes, R. F. (2018).
