Why you should be excited about Mobile Technologies

There is much more going on in the world of mobile devices than just phone zombies wandering around. The market for mobile technology is moving in a lot of different directions. Where mobile technologies are being used is growing fast and it will be used in more ways than we can predict.

New cars and trucks are coming loaded with ever more mobile technology. It is easy to see this as a different category entirely but they have 4G and LTE connectivity with Wi-Fi hotspots, built in apps, and they can do the worst thing a mobile device can do. Get a phone call.

Kelley Blue Book even puts mobile tech in the top four slots for best new technologies in 2019. This market is growing quickly as people demand that there vehicles connect more with their phone. The good news is lot of the innovations are being made with your safety as the goal.

The commercial sector is more and more reliant on mobile devices to do business. Tablets have replaced the register in many stores especially small businesses. Industrial businesses use tablets to track maintenance activities and keep an eye on every aspect of their facility. Connecting to sensors and monitoring devices streamlining production, improving safety, and opening a whole lot of new highly skilled jobs.

Let’s not forget the soon to be everywhere 5G. The speed of the 5G network will make streaming available to you in a way that will fundamentally change what you can do with phones. I believe augmented reality will become the norm in my lifetime. Just think of how fun a Triple A title game will be in real work augmented reality. It could be like how the hooligans of my youth played paintball around the neighborhood, except without the property damage.

It is a bright future. All the fears of too much mobile time and how to raise children in the era of Facebook and Twitter will be just like what was said about a generation of people raised by the television. A non-issue. I, for one, look forward to our overlord, Elon Musk, and his Neuralink technology.
