Mobile Tech: The Past, Present, And Future

Mobile tech is a huge talking point for anyone that loves technology. What we want to do today is take a look at its past, present, and future. What was mobile tech like a decade or so ago? What’s it like now? And, what will it be like in the future? Find all this out here:

Past

In the past, mobile technology was incredibly simple. It was all about creating a device that you can carry around with you to send messages and make calls.

Then, it evolved to a device that allowed you to take pictures and access the internet. In the past, if your phone has internet connectivity, it was seen as something quite remarkable.

Mobile technology was very basic when it first burst on the scene, but things have definitely changed since then, as you will see in the section below.

Present

We’re currently living in a world that is absolutely dominated by mobile technology. The smartphone boom is real, and everyone has at least one mobile device of some sort. Perhaps the key piece of mobile tech right now has to be apps. Mobile apps are huge, they’re useful across so many different industries, and there’s an app for just about anything. It feels like if you have an idea, you just need to find a mobile app company and they can turn that idea into an app. Apps bring people closer to businesses and news outlets because an app sends notifications and provide people with updated information without them having to do anything.

As well as mobile apps we see loads of other tech related things too, such as biometric scanning and incredibly cameras. Most phones now come equipped with fingerprint scanners as an added security measure. Likewise, most mobile devices also have cameras capable of shooting pictures and videos in extremely high-quality resolutions – we’ve even seen a 4k smartphone camera!

To sum up, there are loads of current trends in mobile technology. Apps are huge from a business standpoint, whereas security and cameras are big things from the consumer view. We’re also seeing a few trends that are laying the foundations for future mobile tech, and they’ll be discussed below.

Future

It’s always difficult to predict the future, but we can be fairly certain of a few future mobile tech trends. Most notably; virtual and augmented reality. Mobile devices will soon all be compatible with virtual reality headset, and that will be reflected in the new types of games and apps that are developed.

Similarly, augmented reality will be a huge thing from an app developer standpoint too. We’ve already seen augmented reality games like Pokemon Go be a huge hit. In a few years, most apps will try and integrate augmented reality in some way.

How can we be sure of this? Because there are already a few smartphones and developers that are getting on this trend. Just look at Samsung and their VR headset, or Google and their Google Cardboard.

As you can see, mobile technology has come a long way since its inception. Even though things are very advanced now, it looks like there’s still a very bright future too.
