1. Remote work is here to stay
The coronavirus pandemic forced thousands of people to work from home and if business leaders needed testing to make sure this model works or not, the test was carried out: many companies saw that it is possible to reduce costs and provide higher quality of service. life to workers following this format.
Thus, in 2021, in addition to maintaining this model until we have the largest portion of the vaccinated population, new technologies designed to facilitate this process should emerge. Among the main concerns are security aspects and tools that make remote work more collaborative.
2. Telemedicine: a new step in healthcare
Although medicine has evolved significantly in recent decades, there has always been fear on the part of professionals to adopt the distance format as one of the possibilities for consultations. However, 2020 proved that we already have enough technology to take this step, and this scenario is likely to intensify in 2021.
Medical consultations in video chats, diagnoses made with the aid of software and delivery of medicines at home are trends that are expected to grow even more. Electronic monitoring equipment, such as smartwatches, fitness bracelets, scales and blood pressure meters will become part of consumers’ daily lives.
3. Electric (and autonomous) cars
Tesla creator Elon Musk became the richest man in the world in 2020. Much of his success is due to the growing market for electric vehicles, which are increasingly significant with consumers. There are those who say that cars are the next stage in the dispute between large industries for consumer preference.
Autonomous vehicles are also on the agenda. In the city of Phoenix, in the United States, more than 300 cars are already driving on the streets without a driver.

The entry into force of the General Data Protection Law (LGPD) should be effectively consolidated in 2021. In addition, governments from different parts of the world are concerned with the way in which large technology companies – Google, Facebook, Microsoft, among others. others – control the market.
In the European Union and the United Kingdom, proposals for laws that regulate digital services and a kind of code of conduct will become effective in 2021. In the United States, the new president-elect, Joe Biden, should also address this issue in his term. The fact is that it is certain that measures will be taken by governments to reduce the feeling of impunity in relation to cyber crimes.
5. 5G and the Internet of Things
Brazil is still a little behind when it comes to the implementation of 5G, but the arrival of the new generation of mobile connection should represent a significant technological leap in several aspects. More smart appliances, fully connected homes and automation of routines is what we will see from now on.
The use of artificial intelligence resources should allow the exchange of larger volumes of data in real time, making automation not only an alternative, but the best solution in most cases. Technologies that encourage contact reduction will still be on the rise for a long time.
