If you think your cell phone is a vital part of your life now….just wait a few years. The cell phone will become your Personal Management Device and, oh yeah, it will make telephone calls too! IBM has a great piece on their site called the 5 - in - 5. It stands for the 5 best innovations that will change our lives in the next 5 years. Though I’m not sure if 5 years is a realistic timeframe, I am really excited about what is to come in the mobile device market.
In the next 5 years, your cell phone will become your banker, ticket broker, personal shopper, appliance manager and more. You will be able to connect with our friends in more ways than simple text messaging. You will be able to involve them into your experiences. Your phone will be equipped with technology that will allow you to snap a photograph of an item and then search the web for the best prices, comparable products, where to buy them ( both on- and offline ), how to get there, instant purchase options and more. You will be displayed more photographs of that item, implementation instructions, schematics, chemical makeup, dimensions, weight…..
When you get home, your phone will be your universal remote, it will dim your lights, close your garage door, turn on your sprinkler system, feed your pets ( via an automatic pet food dispenser of course ), sync to your refrigerator and pantry to take inventory and create a shopping list, order take out ( because after all, your fridge said you were empty ), and allow you to access your answering machine ( duh…its a phone! ).
Available in the next 5 years? I hope!
