Gartner has released its annual Top 10 technology trends for the year ahead and has structured this year’s trends around the notion of people-centric smart spaces. According to David Cearley, vice president and Gartner Fellow, in a press release, “Putting people at the center of your technology strategy highlights one of the most important aspects of technology — how it impacts customers, employees, business partners, society or other key constituencies. Arguably all actions of the organization can be attributed to how it impacts these individuals and groups either directly or indirectly. This is a people-centric approach.”
