Top 5 technologies to learn in 2018.

Technologies are :
IoT (Internet of Things)
Cloud Computing
Blockchain
Artificial Intelligence
Big Data

IoT : The Internet of things (IoT) is the network of physical devices, vehicles, home appliances and other items embedded with electronics, software, sensors, actuators, and network connectivity which enables these objects to connect and exchange data.
The IoT allows objects to be sensed or controlled remotely across existing network infrastructure.

Cloud Computing : Cloud computing enables ubiquitous access to shared pools of configurable system resources and higher-level services that can be rapidly provisioned with minimal management effort, often over the Internet.
Cloud computing relies on sharing of resources to achieve coherence and economy of scale, similar to a utility.
Third-party clouds enable organizations to focus on their core businesses instead of expending resources on computer infrastructure and maintenance.
Cloud providers typically use a "pay-as-you-go" model.

Blockchain : A blockchain is a continuously growing list of records, called blocks, which are linked and secured using cryptography which are resistant to modification of the data.
Each block typically contains a hash pointer as a link to a previous block, a timestamp and transaction data.
Blockchains are secure by design and are an example of a distributed computing system
The first blockchain was conceptualized in 2008 by an anonymous person or group known as Satoshi Nakamoto and implemented in 2009 as a core component of bitcoin where it serves as the public ledger for all transactions.

Artificial intelligence : AI is intelligence displayed by machines.
In computer science AI research is defined as the study of "intelligent agents": any device that perceives its environment and takes actions that maximize its chance of success at some goal.
Colloquially, the term "artificial intelligence" is applied when a machine mimics "cognitive" functions that humans associate with other human minds, such as "learning" and "problem solving

Big Data : Big data is data sets that are so voluminous and complex that traditional data processing application software are inadequate to deal with them.
Big data challenges include capturing data, data storage, data analysis, search, sharing, transfer, visualization, querying, updating and information privacy.
There are three dimensions to big data known as Volume, Variety and Velocity.
