Every new year brings new advancements in computing. Computers get smarter, programs get faster and the possibilities continue to grow! 2019 will be no different. In fact, this year promises some of the best innovations yet to come in computing. Is your PC up to the task of handling them?

Here’s what to keep an eye out for this year and how the future of computing in 2019 will impact your daily experience:

1. Automation

Automation used to be for people who could write their own scripts and execute complex computing tasks. Not anymore! Modern PCs and programs are using dynamic coding to give automation functions to the masses.

Take something as a simple PC cleaner program, for example. Being able to automate when it cleans, what tasks it performs and how to handles problems means putting it on autopilot and reaping the benefits, hassle-free. Automation is coming to your everyday computing experience!

2. Cybersecurity

People are sick of having their data stolen. Cyber security is now a top priority. In 2019 you’re going to see an emphasis on data protection, starting with General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). GDPR has already set the stage for responsible data handling. Now, the focus is on improving security against hackers and companies selling data.

Expect to see more 2-factor authentication from websites and more programs employing randomized pass keys. There’s also going to be a major focus on cloud cybersecurity and blockchain data encryption models.

3. Hybrid clouds

To ensure better security, hybrid clouds will become more prevalent in 2019. Hybrid clouds also give PC users more freedom with their files and are less of a drain on their operating system. Store your files in the cloud, sync them to your PC and compute seamlessly! Everything is backed up, secure and easily accessible.

Hybrid clouds are also great for keeping your PC clean and organized. No more cluttered files or fragmented data! Since everything’s managed in the cloud, your PC will continue to run lightning fast.

4. Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)

SaaS solutions have already helped many people get the most out of their PC. Paying a simple fee each month for things like PC cleaner apps, cloud storage, creative tools and more gives you access to the tools you need, any time.

These solutions are affordable month-over-month, without huge costs for quality software upfront. Plus, you get access to things like live customer service and ongoing app support. 2019 promises a boom in SaaS options.

5. Ecosystem software

Apps work better when they work together! More software providers are building out their ecosystems, with a family of apps that collaborate. For example, you might have a PC cleaner app, an app for web protection, an app that detects identity theft and more—all working together to protect you.

Because each app in an ecosystem has its own task, it offers more robust protection. Together, a family of apps can provide a complete solution to a specific part of your computing experience, like security or maintenance.
