Technology has been rapidly evolving since the beginning of computers, and continues to grow faster and faster each year. If we think about 10 years ago, there were no iPhones, no 64GB flashdrives, computers were slow, there was no FaceTime or Skype, and the idea of a completely touch screen phone was impossible. And now, all of these “impossible dreams” have come true. And two of the leading IT Companies are predicting that technology will reach even farther levels.
Below are links to two videos; one from Microsoft and one from Blackberry. These are their predictions of the future only 5-10 years from now. Please watch these videos before continuing on with this blog post…
Now can you believe that technology will move that fast within 10 years? It’s mind boggling! The future is looking very bright for IT companies. The companies that begin to develop these products will become the next Microsoft or Blackberry or Apple (assuming that these companies won’t produce it first). IT will become one of the biggest and most powerful industries in the world (not that it isn’t becoming that already).
Whoever develops this new technology will have to come up with it fast. Companies (potentially new and current) will be battling to develop this technology. If the corporations like Microsoft want to get ahead of the game, they will have to use their investments and develop this product before anyone else. It can show customers that they were the first to develop the product. Just like Apple with the iPod and iPhone, and Microsoft with the first personalized computer software.
