IT Career Trends to keep an eye out for; Geeks4learning
What is certain is that the future is uncertain. It is, therefore, difficult (if not counter-productive) to try and plan in detail for the potential changes that might affect the ICT industry in the years to come. What is important, however, is to stay up to date with what is new and how to adapt to it.
Gordon (2008) defines a trend as a sequential pattern of change in recorded data change evidenced by a rise or fall of variables when measured between at least two points over time. Trends are likely to affect the quantity and quality of jobs that are available, as well as how and by whom they will be carried out. Driven by these trends, the future of work will no doubt offer unparalleled opportunities. New technologies and new markets will generate new and more productive jobs.
