On December 26th, in 2013, we saw a lot of exciting technology products. Some of them will continue to evolve (such as fitness trackers and smart watches), but others will be swept into garbage dumps (such as Android game consoles). In the next year, we will see that today's still very pioneering technologies have entered the mainstream market, and some products that have been passed down by word of mouth have finally come out.
Recently, the technology website Laptopmag has predicted the trends and expectations of the top 10 technology products in 2014:
1. Google glasses / wearable computing into the mainstream
This year, Google finally launched Google Glass on a small scale for developers to spend $1,500 to test the device. Now, in the past year, Google should be able to further improve its own equipment. At the Google I/O conference in May next year, we expect to see a less expensive consumer version of Google Glass.
Google will not be the only company that will launch wearable devices on a large scale next year. Samsung and LG, two inseparable fellows and rivals, are also likely to launch head-mounted wearables next year. Of course, there are also startups that bring their own bolder products and designs.
2. Larger size iPhone/iPad
Today, the 5-inch smartphone has become commonplace, and the iPhone's 4-inch display looks a bit small. According to industry rumors, the iPhone 6, which will be available next fall, may be equipped with a 4.5-5 inch display. At the same time, there is news that Apple is still developing a 12-inch iPad Pro.
3. The smart watch finally broke through
We have seen a lot of smart watches coming out this year, but almost every one has such shortcomings and lacks enough highlights, and the price is generally high.
In 2014, we expect Google and Apple to enter the smart watch market in a grand way. Through their respective voice assistants (Siri and Google Now), their products should work more comfortably on your wrist. The price of such products will also drop to a more reasonable price as the competition becomes more intense. In addition, Samsung will further improve its Galaxy Gear.
4.Windows 8.2 brings back the start menu
In Windows 8, Microsoft first removed the start button that users are familiar with, and then brought it back in the 8.1 upgrade. However, what is popped up after clicking the start button is not the start menu, which still makes the user feel uncomfortable. But don't worry, and the start menu is perfectly justified to get the same treatment as the start button.
In the next upgrade, Microsoft may bring back the real start menu and allow users to run the Metro app in windowed mode. Of course, the "Modern UI" mode will still open up to the users you want to use, especially on tablets.
5.Chrome OS becomes more like Windows
Google’s browser-based Chrome OS operating system has finally broken through this year and is gradually becoming familiar with the help of several cheap Chromebooks. Recently, Google upgraded Chrome OS to get the ability to run applications offline, which makes Chrome OS feel more like a traditional Windows system.
In 2014, we expect Chrome OS to continue to evolve, with more offline applications and more and better hardware. If Google can improve the offline experience of the system, and developers are willing to accept this platform, it may become a strong competitor of low-end Windows PC. At the same time, Chrome OS's interface will become more suitable for touch to keep pace with the development of next-generation tablets and hybrid devices.
