Top 45 Computer Trends in December

From Hackable Miniature Computers to Metaverse Haptic Gloves

— December 11, 2021 — Tech
The top December 2021 computer trends offer a look at the future through ultra-portable remote work solutions, cryptocurrency and the Metaverse. With convertible laptops and tablet-like laptops, people are choosing hardware that supports productivity, performance and portability. Facebook recently launched a pilot run of its own next-gen digital wallet called Novi and its venture into the world of financial services gives users the power to send and receive the Paxos stablecoin, developed in partnership with Coinbase.

The third generation of the web, Web 3.0, represents the future of the Internet and it merges decentralization and artificial intelligence with edge computing. While there are some early-stage Web 3.0 apps that are already in existence, there will be a shift when their true potential can be experienced with the right infrastructure to support it.
