Technology in 2021 will be defined by one message: "We have updated our privacy policy." After GDPR's enactment in May 2018, every single organization in the world that collects any sort of data was impacted. Simultaneously, we are seeing sustained growth in Cloud Computing, Urban Mobility, VR/AR, AI/ML, and IoT, while the more established fields of smartphones and blockchain are seeing a cooldown.
Data Privacy

Opt-in
Users must explicitly allow companies to collect data, which must be encrypted, up-to-date, and accurate.
Right to be forgotten
Users must be able to access all of their data and be able to delete all of it.
Severe Penalties
The penalties for compliance failure are high and proportional to revenue. Organizations are devoting large amounts of resources towards GDPR compliance.
