Entering a new year can be a little like walking into the office on Monday morning: You think you might know what lies ahead, but it never quite plays out like that. An exciting prospect for some, including me, but I understand why and how others find it a nightmare. If you want to alleviate the latter, the key is to be prepared. Even a small dose of education and reflecting on what you’ve learned can go a long way.

 

The number 7 is, they say, a lucky number. Whether you believe it or not, we’ve selected seven points from our research to highlight where we could be heading and things to watch out for. Print and workplace trends? Check. Artificial intelligence (AI)? Also check. Outside factors that will possibly affect our industry? Again, check. In a way, this 2025 Industry Forecast infographic can be considered a series talk tracks with subjects to stoke conversation.

 

What would your list look like? Here’s ours.

HP Security Summit 2024 Puts Cyberhealth in the Spotlight

HP Inc. gathered industry analysts in New York City before the holidays for its annual HP Security Summit. Boris Balacheff, Chief Technologist for Security Research and Innovation at HP, kicked off the event with an overview of endpoint security and HP’s role in it. He also noted that the Trusted Platform Module (TPM)—a security chipset found in PCs, enterprise printers and MFPs, as well as other connected devices—was celebrating its 25th anniversary. (HP was a co-founder of the Trusted Computing Group that envisioned that improvement.)

INFOGRAPHIC: Focusing on Sustainability in Print

Sustainability in print isn’t just some phrase or topic to worry about around Earth Day. It’s something we should all aspire to pursue and explore fully to make sure that humanity’s effects on the planet can be lessened. There are a hundred different things we can try to improve the ecosystem while maintaining healthy print schedules. Eco-friendly inks and renewable resources can be used to lessen our environmental impact. We could also strive to reduce carbon emissions, to print only when necessary, or to be mindful of ecolabels and awards when purchasing future printers.

Tightening Regulation on Tech Use in the Classroom

Last year was big for technology in education. As with many other sectors, artificial intelligence (AI) came to the fore with students and teachers using applications such as ChatGPT in their work and planning to do so in ever greater numbers. Whilst the benefits of AI to a sector like education cannot be understated, the threats the new technology poses are also great—prompting calls from education professionals, parents, and governments to regulate its usage on a global level. Alongside this discourse surrounding AI in education has been the call to regulate cell phone usage in K-12 settings. In the US and UK, steps have been taken at a local and national level to severely restrict or ban the use of cell phones in the classroom—a move welcomed by teachers and some parents. But will these efforts work in the long term? And what effect will regulation have on other areas of technology use, such as “bring your own device” (BYOD) settings?
