Following are some of the technology trends that are making the rounds in 2021!

5G mobile network

The fifth-generation mobile network didn’t get much attention, and that’s because of the pandemic. Many countries, including Pakistan, haven’t got access to it as of now, but it is the fastest mobile network that provides you with the speed of WIFI.
