Recently, an article in Smart Company noted some of the top tech trends that are on the horizon for the next five years. Here is a summary of those tech trends and what they might mean for you:
Good-Bye Desktop, Hello Tablets and Portable Devices
They say the desktop is on life-support soon to be put out of its behemoth misery by tablets, smartphones, and other portable devices. No longer will you need a monitor and keyboard either. It will be increased functionality and portability to work on the go.
While you might not think that something so scientific would actually become social, it’s true. Social media platforms are impacting searches on search engines and vice versa. How information is delivered and shared will continue to change and will often become more influenced by peers and colleagues on your social networks. This means that businesses will also need to rethink their search strategies as well as their social media strategies to become more integrated.
High Resolution
Not only will we want a clearer picture when it comes to information, but we will also want it to appear more life-like when we view it on a display. That means technology will have to provide a way to offer high pixel density on every type of device.
Working on a Cloud
The cloud will replace the cubicle so that where and how you work will never be the same. There will be no need for a dedicated workspace when cloud computing allows you to access your files and collaborate anywhere in the world.
Tapping Your Networks
The whole notion that working and interacting online is really an anti-social activity will finally be put to rest. Instead, more people will recognize the importance of engagement and communication online as a valuable social interaction tool. It is a way to get more information and reach out to more people than face-to-face strategies could ever do. Every decision could now be based upon who or what is in your social network.
Stop Typing and Start Talking
The art of knowing the keyboard may soon become a lost art as technology allows for more voice-activated and voice-controlled functionality. Siri is just the beginning. There will be no more need for a keyboard or mouse; we’ll be doing more talking than typing.
Global Media Stream
All content will soon be streamed through your computer, tablet, smartphone or other device, including video and audio content. This could also mean the end to the television set! Time will tell if the future will leave this device behind as well.
What’s to Become of the 9-to-5 Work Schedule?
What was once the given in terms of work hours is not necessarily the common work schedule anymore. With people working on the road and with people all over the world, these hours no longer frame productivity. If anything, people are setting their own hours thanks to technology and working on the fly and as-needed. Whether it is working from home or the plane, work is getting done on a completely new schedule driven by work demands and facilitated by technology.
Custom Home Entertainment
We may no longer say, “There is nothing on.” That’s because we can leverage technology to create our own entertainment and customize what we want to watch and enjoy thanks to streaming media and access to a wider array of content that we can select when desired. This will be further possible through portable devices as well as voice and motion control capabilities.
