If all the 21st century predictions were correct, we should be driving flying cars by now and we should have robots to do our housework. Predicting which technological gadgets and devices will change our lives is a task fraught with difficulties. Future predictions are not 100% accurate, but they guide us and help us figure out what new devices will become a part of our daily lives in the future.
Based on current trends including instant everywhere communications and mobile email access, the future can be predicted to be even faster networks, increased computing performance and storage of computers. Lighter, more portable, and cheaper HD displays will be available, and the smartphone will compete with today’s desktop PCs for power and storage. The trends for the devices of the future are:
• Miniaturization
• Futuristic, innovative and bold design
• Touchscreens
• Use of high-tech, high-speed microchips
• More ecological devices
miniaturization
The trend towards miniaturization is related to the creation of ever smaller mechanical, optical and electronic products and devices. There is an inclination towards building and manufacturing ever smaller devices due to the desire for mobility and size efficiency. Devices that take up less space are more desirable than those that are bigger, bulkier and take up more space. Miniature devices are being created because they are convenient to use, easier to transport, and easier to store.
Futuristic and innovative design.
The future trend of gadgets is to adopt innovative design or adopt a combination between traditional and futuristic design. There are bound to be plenty of simple gadgets adopting the classic design for those of you who consider simplicity the new complexity and just don’t like using high-tech gadgets.
Touchscreens
The most exciting items to be found today are touch screens used in gadgets such as mobile phones, mp4 players, GPS, monitors, mo3 car radios, LCD TVs, and PDAs. Touch screens are very popular and easy to use, so future devices will need to continue to use them. In addition, the use of touch screens allows the manufacture of cheaper but attractive devices.
Using high technology and high speed microchips
Today’s electronic devices would have been impossible to create without this small but mighty chip that packs a far-reaching impact. The integrated circuit has transformed yesterday’s room-filling machines into today’s mainframes, minicomputers, and desktop PCs.
Microchip technology plays an important role in the process of miniaturization and manufacturing of smaller and faster devices. Devices of the future will take these tiny, powerful ICs and make them super fast and super powerful. All these devices are known as high-tech and high-speed devices.
greener gadgets
The future trend will be to create greener devices and green products. People are leaning towards environmental and nature protection and using environment friendly gadgets. The use of devices that consume less energy is the trend of new devices. Solar energy is the most widely used energy source, since it is free to consume and is not dangerous for the environment.
