Where is technology going to lead us?
Where is technology going to lead us? This is an interesting question, in the last 30 years, so many things changed and people's life are converted into something no one could have predicted. When the first computer came out, people didn't desire to go much further than being able to save what's is typed; When the telephones began to appear into people's eyes, the world is already super happy to have the capability to contact someone from far away, which before wasn't that easy.
Starting is always the hardest thing. Once begun, moving further does not seem to be that challenging anymore. The new technology evolved in such a radical way, that the entire world entered into a new time period, the époque of mobility, not surprisingly, starting from mobile phones.
If you walk across the street, you will find so many people holding a special type of phone which we now call smartphone, such a smart phone will be able to take care of every single detail of daily life.
I introduced the smartphone not only because I am using it right now to take a picture of the sunset which is just fabulous, but also because, it will be the center of a lot of products of technology. Using Apple as a great example, MacBooks are more and more designed for long time outside use, for the purpose of giving customers more and more liberty to enjoy their technology anywhere on the globe. Doesn't that sound very familiar? Yes, you're right, this is mobility.
Have you ever heard of smart watches or google glass, they are perfect example of mobility, they are designed to be taken everywhere people go. There are still a lot of technical problem, but one thing we are sure is that they are mainly to collect information, not concentrated on elaborating upon them and creating an individual system, by already having a phone in your hand. That seems to be a bit repetitive.
Yes, you probably get what I mean, for smart watches and smart glasses, to maintain the best “mobility”, they will use the mobile phone everyone have to further elaborate and show data to the customer. Using a simple example: try to imagine, a guy, with his smart watch, is trying to call a friend, he's using one hand to control the watch on the other hand... isn't that very uncomfortable? If you were that guy, wouldn't you prefer just a phone to call whoever you wanted?
What might be more realistic is to use a smart watch to collect data such as the heart beats, or the running speed, believe me, athletes will be the first ones to love them.
Use your mobile phone, to modify your world full of mobility.
