Recent Advances and Future Directions in Computer Science: A Comprehensive Review of Emerging Trends and Technologies

Abstract

This review focuses on recent discoveries and other new directions in computer science where recent technological advancements in the form of artificial intelligence, quantum computing, cloud and edge computing, block chain, and cybersecurity have proved to be a revolutionary process. It discusses the ways in which computer science is being interdisciplinary applied more and more in fields, such as healthcare, education, environmental sciences, and finance, in which it has led to innovation and the resolution of complex world problems. Other emerging limitations which are critical as discussed in the article include ethical issues, data privacy, technical barrier and digital divide. Glancing into the future, it stresses the need of responsible innovation, sustainable computing and interdisciplinary collaboration. In the course of the field development, there will be a need to strike the balance between the extensive technological development and ethical, social, and environmental concerns. This review will give an understanding to researchers, practitioners and policymakers to be familiar with the ever-changing phenomena in computer science and utilize the power of computer science to the benefit of the society.
