MobHappy’s Russell Buckley has a wonderful post that points to a presentation from 2000 that forecasts the future of mobility. Some of the technology:
- Wireless headset? Check.
- Pocket MP3 player? Check.
- Digital camera with built-in modem? Close.
- Glasses for watching DVD movies? Not quite yet – though on the way – we saw one at CTIA last April.
Slides from a presentation given by O2 – just a mere eight years ago — also show a mock-up of a mobile worker [done tongue in cheek but still pretty spot on] and how users will be using mobile devices.
Our museum is chock full of mobile devices that look like they’re from two decades ago but in reality are only a few years old. Years from now I suppose my toddler will get a nice chuckle at the expense of my iPhone [“You had to use your finger to move text?”].
Any guesses on where the mobile space will be in 2016?
