If all the predictions of the 21st century were correct, we should now be driving flying cars and we should have robots to do our housework. Predicting which gadgets and technological devices will change our lives is a task fraught with difficulties. Future predictions are not 100% accurate, but they guide us and help us discover what new devices will become part of our daily lives in the future.

Based on current trends that include instant communications everywhere and mobile access to email, it can be predicted that the future will be about even faster networks, higher processing performance and computing storage. Lighter, more portable and cheaper HD displays will become 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 a trend 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 larger, 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 of traditional and futuristic design. There are bound to be plenty of simple gadgets adopting the classic design for those of you who regard simplicity as the new complexity and just don’t like using high-tech gadgets.

Touchscreens

The most interesting items found today are the touch screens used in gadgets such as mobile phones, mp4 players, GPS, monitors, mo3 car radios, LCD TVs and PDAs. Touch screens are so popular and easy to use that future devices will need to continue to use them. In addition, the use of touch screens allows to manufacture 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 powerful chip that has 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 making devices smaller and faster. Devices of the future will make use of these tiny powerful ICs and make them super fast and super powerful. All of these devices are known as high-tech, high-speed devices.

Greener gadgets

The future trend will be to create greener devices and green products. People are leaning towards protecting the environment and nature and using environmentally friendly gadgets. The use of appliances that consume less energy is the trend of new appliances. Solar energy is the most widely used energy source, since it is free to consume and is not dangerous for the environment.
