Systems Analysis is the study of a procedure or process to define its goal and purpose and create a system to achieve it in the most efficient way. Simply put, systems analysis is basically helping the decision maker into making his/her choice which would result in the most beneficial outcome. Systems Analysis would require one to be both technically capable whilst having a good inter personal people skills as they are required to interact with clients and the system itself. A system analyst researches solutions, finds problems, and bridges different gaps in

the modern technological world. A system analyst coordinates with businesses and organizations and tells them which hardware and software to purchase and how to make them work together. A system analyst is a critical thinker, as competition is tough and fierce and the stakes high they are required to be both
adaptive and cunning for them to produce long term solutions. They may or may not be directly involved in the programming itself but they are familiar with a variety of programming languages. In a simple definition  system analysts are people who connects things and make them work together in a smoother way to make the best possible outcome. Now that we have established the definition of systems analysis we may venture further into its role in the future. In the modern age things change rapidly, as Bill Gates quotes "People always fear change. People feared electricity when it was invented, didn't they? People feared coal, they feared gas-powered engines... There will always be ignorance, and ignorance leads to fear. But with time, people will come to accept their silicon masters." we should come to accept that progress would not wait for us, it will be either come along or be left behind. This is where I believe systems analysts fit in, in the future of modern technology they have the capacity to understand and make change. As things get too complicated and technical in the future they would adapt. This is why I believe that systems analysts would play a major role in the technologically advanced future where almost everything would be probably digitized. Since they are flexible they would learn and adapt whatever new computer or universal language required. Because a system analyst is linked to the organization's or businesses' ability to deliver products not only of higher quality but also cheaper and faster. As technology continues to progress systems analysts have the skill  and capability to understand and combine these factors to achieve its goal. Systems analysts will have a major part in the futuristic grand scheme of things, if everything does become digitized they will have an advantage.
