According to a source, 51% of law firms are using cloud technology. Similarly, the software can be upgraded by upgrading a single instance of an application. Cloud computing has helped several persons to collaborate and work in real time on projects simultaneously.
AR and VR
You have definitely played or heard of Pokemon Go gone viral in just a few days of its release. More than 100 million people downloaded the game, and that explained how people went crazy for that.
Now Augmented and Virtual Reality is no longer limited to the gaming industry only. There is much more potential for AR and VR technology in other business sectors other than the gaming app development.

Thanks to the affordable HUD(Heads Up Displays), a gear similar to visors or windshields that fighter pilots use to monitor, it will transform how we work, shop, and play.
One study says that Virtual Reality will be used in shopping store and increase the in-store experiences to compete with online sites. The mannequins will be displayed but tailored according to every consumer or say, viewers. Also, the sellers will also use Augmented Reality to display videos when you view a particular product on the shelf.
Visible Light Communication
Light Fidelity (LiFi) uses Visible Light Communication Technology and is expected to replace the existing Wi-fi connection completely shortly. This technology receives light signals using a photo-detector and a signal processing to convert data into stream-able content.
With the help of signal processing technology, data is fed into an LED light bulb, and it then sends data integrated into its beam at a rapid speed to the photo-detector. Unlike wifi, LiFi employs LEDs which operate under high-frequency voltage and uses light rays instead of radio waves.
