The future is no longer smartphone, what will people be like?
In the future, it is possible that smartphones will become obsolete, and be replaced by more modern devices.
Today, almost everyone can own, and it is unclear since when we have become familiar with the presence of this device.
Now, a phone can do everything: listen to music, take photos, read news, upload everything to social networks. For many people, smartphones have replaced the usual tools such as compass, flashlight or wristwatch.
Smart phones have changed our lives so much, even though they only became popular more than 10 years ago. However, a recent survey by Ericsson - a Swedish technology company - shows that 50% of smartphone users believe they will be obsolete.
This raises the question of which technology can replace smartphones in the future?
Actual virtual reality, interactive technologies will support smartphone replacement.
Many people predict that with the development of the AR (real interaction), . will help generate a new generation of devices that can change our lives like smartphones do.
Brad Berens, strategic director of the Digital Future Center at the University of Southern California, predicts that smartphones will make room for other smaller devices. They will be about the same size as necklaces or eyeglasses or contact lenses.
These devices use VR and AR technology, to provide information in the form of multidimensional images without using any screen.
Just like how we manage apps on the phone by tapping our fingers on the screen, in the future, the whole thing will be done by voice or gestures like Tony Stark did with Iron Man.
Besides, imagine a generation of Siri, Cortana . so modern that it is possible to predict what we want to know, sometimes before we realize it.
A smartphone replacement device could change lives more than we thought.
They will analyze our eye movements, if we look at something for more than 2 seconds, these smart assistants will understand that we need more information about it.
With a simple example, imagine that we go on the road and catch someone but can't remember their names, immediately these virtual assistants will show the person's name to us, and only we can see. This really helps a lot.
People have seen life change a lot since Apple launched the first iPhone. But in the future, smartphone replacement devices will probably change lives more than we can imagine.
