Abstract
This is 2019. The year becomes significant when we start talking technological advancements and their effects as we move forward. Every year, we see something new, something that has the potential to change technology forever. But as American fiction author William Gibson puts it aptly, “The future is already here; it is just not very evenly distributed.” The year acts as a milestone, a benchmark for the immense amount of effort for the entire civilization to reach to this point, and shows where we are headed in the near future.
