Study: Smartphones are outdated technology in five years – Dagbladet.no

(Dagbladet A study conducted by Ericsson ConsumerLab comes with news about consumers’ faith in the smartphone.

Half of the respondents believe that smart phones will not exist in five years, because they are not as easily manageable as research participants believe that artificial intelligence is going to be.

A total of 100,000 people were asked in the study, both from the Swedish Ericsson Consumer Labs homeland and other countries. Rebecka Cedering angstroms from Ericsson Consumer Labs report, according to The Telegraph that the smartphone impractical is the main reason why people think they are replaced about five years.

– Just imagine it watching football and having the opportunity to choose where the stands to see this match, or maybe even from the path. Shopping is also a field where you will be able to virtually try on shoes and see how they fit your own feet, says Angstrom according to The Telegraph.

– Some rusa on future

Yet there Not everyone is quite so confident that the AI ​​will take over the phone’s place in our lives so quickly.

Magnus Brøyn, technology expert and manager in Coxit PR, think it will take more than five years to replace smart phones. The way he sees it is not representative study, and it does not give an accurate picture of when the technology will come.

– Here, people have been a little coked in the future. It is easy to respond that we know about quite a few years are going to be in a completely different reality than we do today, but all experience indicates that it often takes a little longer than we think. Especially when we stand before the quantum leap that is that we are going to dress up in technology, and hand over more and more of our lives to it, says Brøyn Dagbladet.

Brøyn is currently in Silicon Valley to hear about what plans Google has for the future of technology. He says that just artificial intelligence and how this affects our lives is one of the relevant themes.

Technology in clothes

Brøyn believes it will take time to get used to technology we get dressed, technology we entrust our lives and that will help us make decisions. Many feel such spectacles Google Glass as invasive, it is technology that comes too close.

Brøyn think it is about changing people’s habits, and that even though we are heading towards an era where technology is in our own clothes, so it will take more than five years to get there.

Among the reasons the study claimed that smart phones will soon be here, is that screens on smartphones are not always ideal, in addition to that receiving an important phone call can cause problems if you run the car simultaneously. Therefore believes half of survey participants that artificial intelligence will take over the smartphone market.

According to a study from March 2015 can be a challenge to get people to put away the phone. The desire to check what’s happening on social media, who is calling and who sends mail and contact person in other ways, can make people become poorer at performing tasks they have.

The smartphone Simon

The world’s first smartphone was not an Iphone, but IBM Simon Personal Communicator, which came a full 15 years before Apple launched its first telephone.

When IBM came telephone, called no it for a “smartphone”. This term first came a few years later. However it had many features that we find in modern phones: a calendar, ability to take notes and send emails and messages, as well as the ability to call.

IBM sold about 50 000 copies of the phone, which was only possible to buy in the US.

Still lasted not particularly long before it was pulled from the market: after only two years, it has been found that only one hour of battery life and a price of $ 899 was not particularly lucrative.

In addition lacked phone the very few with mobile phones today can do without: the internet.
