You know how it is – we’ve just managed to get our heads around those new fangled fax machines; then the internet and mobile phones arrive; then the world goes digital mad and they’re talking about YouTube and Facebook and Google and Twitter.
And we just get our heads around the amazing opportunities these new technologies and applications offer us in our daily lives when the next big thing is predicted – the mobile future.
This is a future when everything will be on our phone/computer. There is even technology being developed to replace car keys, house keys, office keys with digital passwords – all you’ve got to do is not lose your phone!
Google is convinced that the future of computing is mobile and through a web browser. They predict that in three years time desktops will be irrelevant and in Japan, even today, most research is done via mobile phones not PCs.
Google’s Android mobile operating system places a search box on the main homescreen allowing users to search both the phone itself and the internet from a single place.
We’ll be watching films, reading books, sending texts and emails, checking the web, opening doors, taking photos and organising our daily lives – all from one tiny hand held device. What about cutting my lawn and taking the dogs for a walk?
