Excerpts:
There’s no crystal ball for the legal industry, just as there’s none for life. That said, industry trends don’t arise out of the ether — they develop over time. These trends collectively form the basis for estimations about what the future of the legal industry will look like.
These industry insiders have studied the trends, and they lent us their insights into the future of law. Take a look:

In looking through these perspectives, one can often see the topics of emerging technologies, changing client expectations, and changing business models.

What Does 2019 Hold for Legal AI? — from law.com by Emily Foges
What developments can we expect in the next year? Where and in what new ways will AI tools be deployed?
Just as accountants no longer imagine life without excel, lawyers will soon be unable to imagine their day-to-day without AI.
…
Technology should be seen to work seamlessly in tandem with the lawyers, surfacing relevant and pertinent information which the lawyer then decides to act on.
“Interesting new trends such as #AR , location-based technology, and micro-assessments have invaded the mobile learning space too. Here’s an infographic that gives you information on the latest trends in mobile learning.”https://t.co/M9FEM4PCkh

What new trends and technologies can we use to design and deliver modern training experiences? — from modernworkplacelearning.com by Jane Hart
Here are 3 meta-trends that I’m seeing which show how new thinking, trends and technologies can be used to offer modern training experiences.
But more significantly, what this means is that these platforms are becoming a hub for work and learning. It’s no longer just about taking an online courses or classroom training – disconnected from the real world of work. Learning is now being seen in a very different light – as a work activity – and one that is highly performance-focused.
From DSC:
I just ran across this recently…what do you think of it?!
From DSC:
For me, this is extremely disturbing. And if I were a betting man, I’d wager that numerous nations/governments around the world — most certainly that includes the U.S. — have been developing new weapons of warfare for years that are based on artificial intelligence, robotics, automation, etc.
The question is, now what do we do?
Some very hard questions that numerous engineers and programmers need to be asking themselves these days…
By the way, the background audio on the clip above should either be non-existent or far more ominous — this stuff is NOT a joke.

Addendum on 6/26/19:
Experts in machine learning and military technology say it would be technologically straightforward to build robots that make decisions about whom to target and kill without a “human in the loop” — that is, with no person involved at any point between identifying a target and killing them. And as facial recognition and decision-making algorithms become more powerful, it will only get easier.

As many times happens with humans use of technologies, some good and some bad here. Exciting. Troubling. Incredible. Alarming.
Companies, please make sure you’re not giving the keys to a $137,000, powerful Maserati to your “16 year olds.”
Just because we can…
And to you “16 year olds out there”…ask for / seek wisdom. Ask yourself whether you should be developing what you are developing. Is it helpful or hurtful to society? Don’t just collect the paycheck. You have a responsibility to humankind.
To whom much is given…

Microsoft is building a virtual assistant for work. Google is building one for everything else — from qz.com by Dave Gershgorn
Excerpts:
In the early days of virtual personal assistants, the goal was to create a multipurpose digital buddy—always there, ready to take on any task. Now, tech companies are realizing that doing it all is too much, and instead doubling down on what they know best.
…
Since the company has a deep understanding of how organizations work, Microsoft is focusing on managing your workday with voice, rearranging meetings and turning the dials on the behemoth of bureaucracy in concert with your phone.
Voice is the next major platform, and being first to it is an opportunity to make the category as popular as Apple made touchscreens. To dominate even one aspect of voice technology is to tap into the next iteration of how humans use computers.
From DSC:
What affordances might these developments provide for our future learning spaces?
Will faculty members’ voices be recognized to:
Will students be able to send the contents of their mobile devices to particular displays via their voices?
Will voice be mixed in with augmented reality (i.e., the students and their devices can “see” which device to send their content to)?
Hmmm…time will tell.
8 industrial IoT trends of 2019 that cannot be ignored — from datafloq.com
Excerpt:
From manufacturing to the retail sector, the infinite applications of the industrial internet of things are disrupting business processes, thereby improving operational efficiency and business competitiveness. The trend of employing IoT-powered systems for supply chain management, smart monitoring, remote diagnosis, production integration, inventory management, and predictive maintenance is catching up as companies take bold steps to address a myriad of business problems.
No wonder, the global technology spend on IoT is expected to reach USD 1.2 trillion by 2022. The growth of this segment will be driven by firms deploying IIoT solutions and giant tech organizations who are developing these innovative solutions.
To help you stay ahead of the curve, we have enlisted a few trends that will dominate the industrial IoT sphere.
5. 5G Will Drive Real-Time IIoT Applications
5G deployments are digitizing the industrial domain and changing the way enterprises manage their business operations. Industries, namely transportation, manufacturing, healthcare, energy and utilities, agriculture, retail, media, and financial services will benefit from the low latency and high data transfer speed of 5G mobile networks.
Survey: Students Choosing Online Programs Closer to Home — from campustechnology.com by Dian Schaffhauser
Mentioned in that article:

“It’s encouraging to see that a majority of students who are studying fully online are reporting great value and satisfaction with their online programs which are largely tied to ambitious career goals,” said Todd Zipper, president and CEO of Learning House, in a prepared statement. “With an increasing population of savvier consumers with high expectations, institutions need to do better at offering more quality, diverse programs that are sensitive to cost in order to keep up with the growing demands of online college students.”
From DSC:
If, in the year 2019, most students say online learning is as good or better than face-to-face, what will they say come 2025? 2035?
Many people will still prefer to have F2F-based learning experiences no matter what year it is. That said, as the innovation continues to occur mainly in the digital/online/virtual realms, F2F will likely find it harder and harder to compete. My advice to current faculty members? Get experience teaching online — and do so as soon as you possibly can.
