Future Of Technology: Where Is It Heading… | Bit Rebels
It’s easy to understand just why technology companies are starting to roll out their ideas about where technology is heading in the near future. They want to secure their own place on the map, and somewhat try to make people follow their developing line of ideas so they can get the most customers possible. It’s a well proven tactic that usually works. Even Apple is doing it, and they are probably the top achiever when it comes to “followers” of their future technology predictions. Of course, it is not bad to show people where technology could be heading, and we should look at it as our map of choices when looking, reading or hearing about what we can expect as far as gadgets, medicine and everything else that has a developing line throughout its business idea. Michell Zappa studied these company events and put together a brilliant infographic on just where the technologies may head in the near future.Rick Chin is the director of product innovation at SolidWorks , where he develops new products and researches how technology will make us smarter, simplify daily tasks and seamlessly fit into our everyday lives. In 20 years our technology will reach a level of personalization that will enhance every moment of our lives. We’ll be more physically comfortable with the furniture we sit on and the products we hold; only the most relevant and personalized information from friends and family will reach us; and our movement in the digital world will be near telepathic. I foresee several of today’s technologies as relevant to this particular vision of the future. They will evolve to not only be more powerful, but also more integrated with one other.

The most unbelievable part of Microsoft's eye-catching Productivity Future Vision video , released earlier this week, isn't the see-through refrigerator, the software app that discovers a product design breakthrough on its own, or the plants growing on the wall of the ethereally white office. (That last one, actually, is a real office on the Microsoft campus.) No, the most unbelievable part is how clean every surface is--in the car, in the office, and even in a kitchen where a bake sale project is underway. David Jones, acting director of the video's creator, Microsoft's Envisioning Lab, says it's a common criticism, but then again, nearly every surface can act as a crisp, contextually savvy display. Wouldn't you keep your counter more clean if you could watch Hulu on it?

Today we’ve got billboards that can ascertain our ages and genders, movie trailers that can change in real time depending on who the viewer is, and mobile apps that can detect what commercial is airing on TV and send viewers related coupons on their phones. And that’s just a start. There’s no doubt technology is ushering in some fascinating new ways of connecting brands with consumers. In fact, to say technology is rapidly evolving doesn’t even fit anymore.
