ThoughtWorks has issued the latest Technology Radar that, among other trends, focuses on the contrast between the exciting new insights made possible by exhaustive data collection with the disturbing trend of businesses storing vast amounts of personal data unnecessarily.
The Technology Radar, now in its 4th year, is created by the Technology Advisory Board, which consists of 20 senior technologists that serve as regular advisors to Chief Technology Officer, Dr. Rebecca Parsons.
Other notable themes in the radar include:
Marriage of physical and digital – Low-cost device, open hardware platforms and new communication protocols are pushing computing away from the screen and into the world around us with the proliferation of wearable devices, as one example.
Early warning and recovery in production – We?re seeing a plethora of new tools and techniques for logging, monitoring, storing and querying operational data
The JavaScript juggernaut rolls on – The ecosystem around JavaScript continues to evolve, resulting in many interesting new tools.
