Intro
I read another article again today about coming technology in 2015, and I have to say I was intrigued. Not so much at the amount of progress mankind has made with technology, (even though it's considerable), but rather at the things people will be able to do with these new coming devices.My Thoughts
On the article
In a nutshell, the article was about the coming technology for 2015, how to prepare for it, and what to expect out of it. It touched on some of the upcoming devices and operating systems from most of the major tech companies including Microsoft, Apple, and Google, in that order. It also talked about things like cars becoming smarter, TV's becoming better and larger, and ditching cable television for streaming services, which some people are already doing.Drawbacks of Advancement
After reading about what to expect out of the coming devices of this year, I couldn't help but wonder what kind of impact the new tech would have on teen and young adult society. Most of which is, in my opinion, already frighteningly dependent on the technology advances we have now. What happens if the newer generations become too obsessed with/dependent on these new devices? Will a time come where people just forget how to help themselves altogether? While that's very much possible, I still think it'll take a while before people just throw do-it-yourself out the window. In another decade or so? Maybe.Positives of Advancement
According to the article, it will soon be possible for your phone to become more helpful to you in everyday life by becoming more "intelligent". This is something that was predicted/wished for by many people ever since Siri came onto the technology scene in 2010. Now, five years later it has the possibility of actually happening.The article also discussed "your phone replacing your wallet". This, it would seem, is being made a potential reality with apps like Apple Pay, which is an app that enables users to pay for things using their phones instead of credit cards and cash. According to the article, there are also apps in development for virtual drivers licenses, door keys, and proof of insurance. If you ask me, that gives people all the more reason rob others of their phones and tablets, and is a huge security risk. However, it could also be beneficial to people in terms of convenience.
