Technology is evolving
at a very high speed. Keeping this in mind an attempt is made to visualize how
technology would look like after a decade. Current era is dominated by smart
phones with touch based devices on the hype. Soon this technology will be taken
to an entire new level…!!!
Probably the heart of
technology 2020 would consist of:
Virtual Wall: A wall
which physically does not exist but allows writing, drawing and expressing your
thoughts by using your hands. This can be the future of our class rooms with
desks and boards getting replaced by these walls.
Cloud Classrooms: After
a decade there will be no need to physically be present in school but still
feel like you are a part of the class and teacher is just in front of you. It
will also enable you to interact with them physically.
No More Projectors: No
more tasks of projector settings, as your device whether a Smart Phone or a PDA
will have sensors which can convert a plain desk into a screen and the display
will be replicated on the Desk.
4 way mobile computing:
You will be able to share displays of your smart phones or tabs and extend them
on a surface as well as show and change immaculate results with graphics by interacting
with them on the surface without physically contacting the mobile.
Surface display: With
all features listed above we can say that entire future will have a surface
which does not exists but can be created and re-created as and when needed with
the feature of human interaction and making changes as and when needed. Even
your coffee mug can be your surface to display your data.
Digital Media: - Unlike
today where we go online to read news or subscribe to websites or download and
application for the same, the future will just ask you for one device that will
have everything on the go, no more subscription, you will get news on the
device everyday and scroll to past days and when you are done with reading you
can just fold it as you do it with regular Newspaper or magazine.
One Remote with
Multiple Controls: Currently a digital remote just gives you details about the
current device but the future will allow controlling multiple devices and
displaying the details of them. It will also scan the details and share it with
any surface you want, any device you want.
Finally we can say that
this will be the era of LIVE technology where gestures, emotions, thoughts all
can be expressed at one go.
