What future features would you like to see from mobile tech? A single piece of tech that allows all interactions with a big foldable screen eg phone, work connectivity, analytic applications, browsing, streaming. Only one device that does it all
I'd love it if when my phone send me a link to enter a competition I don't know 100-percent that it was for real and I genuinely be in with a chance of winning but just like most things there are no guarantees as for technology well other than 4d video what more can be done there all pretty impressive in there own way
I love my phone a couple of years old now fancy a upgrade but which model to go for
I love my phone as ot is my only outlet to the wider world, not being able to afford Internet at home , I use my Smarty Internet to watch my favourite programs, listen to music see news both local and worldwide etc etc . Being my main outlet the phone I use is getting a little worn out now so I am in the process of looking for an alternative although a new one is t of my reach.
I work in public transport as a trainer and we've just trialed interactove whiteboards with our learners. It's great to have learners using their own devices to interact with materials in a group setting and also to use their devices to capture elements of their training and learning to then upload to their cloud accounts to use as evidence for portfolios.
Being able to use their own devices creates a more relaxed approach as they are familiar with their tech.
On a personal note, I think nfc and smart device controls are the most used features of my devices.
Smart watches are also a great invention.
It would be great if devices were supported by manufacturers for longer. I've a cupboard full of devices that are no longer supported and therefore worth nothing. I often buy refurbished so these devices are no longer desirable after I've had my two/three years use.
The future of tech is exciting, however, I'm the type of user that values attributes that are genuinely useful and insightful, rather than gimmicky and fashionable.
When it comes to tech, I use my iPhone to organise and plan i also love that contactless feature which I can use anywhere (Very handy)
- What do you love most about your current devices?
With smartphones, for me it’s about everything being in one place. I can access online banking, control my in home technology and play music from my phone to my car, whilst still being able to use my phone as a mobile as a phone.
- What classic device would you like to see updated (if technology issues were no problem)?
Bluetooth headphones that support true audiophile sound quality, rather than compressed audio.
- What future features would you like to see from mobile tech?
For SMARTY, visual voicemail like many competitors now offer. e-sim support too, as Three now offer this, and it would be nice to have SMARTY in devices like Smart watches.
Ok doke....
1: Favourite bit of tech has to be my Garmin fenix 6 watch. Out in the hills I can quickly check a topographical map, record my activities, link in other sensors, play music and it'll keep on going for those 100 mile runs.
2: Classic device to update would be those old film camera, specifically my MPP 4x5 . If I could cheaply add a sensor it would revitalise some iconic and beautifully engineered cameras of (not too long ago) old. Perhaps technology in general should veer towards keeping products alive, be it modular design or away from recycling.
3: I'm playing around with LORA (long range radio) to see if it can track my 'deer'ranged Collie :-), or even me in the mountains?! These devices can 'mesh' and provide a network and capability of messaging without satellite or phone signal. It would be amazing to incorporate into a phone that search and rescue or a person could access to help locate things when out of mobile range.1 The Battery Dos Not Need Charging All The Time. Simple To Use.
It’s so hard to narrow down to one piece of technology, but as a music lover I adore my Apple Music subscription. It allows me to take music with me anywhere I go. (I suppose that means my technology has to be my Iphone!)
