The Future: Pervasive Computing and Complete Mobility Will Be Standard, Business and Industry Trends Analysis

Smartphones with larger screens are taking over more and more of the functions and tasks previously assigned to desktop PCs and laptops.  Mobility, miniaturization, fast wireless connections, easy access to data, software-as-a-service, and entertainment via apps and the cloud, as well as long-lasting batteries, reign supreme in this trend.  Simply put, smartphones are very small, lightweight, versatile and reasonably affordable computers that improve from one generation to the next.  The fact that wireless internet access speeds have become quite fast is a big enabler of this trend.  While the latest 5G wireless services remain a work-in-progress, this technology has the long-term promise to even further boost smartphones and other wireless devices as powerful drivers in the future of computer usage.
This relentless drive toward miniaturization and wireless access will have a profound effect on the way we interact with computing devices over the long-term.  Rooms and automobiles that react to a person when he or she enters the car, home or office will become standard.  Cars that use Bluetooth to connect automatically to a driver's smartphone are an important start in that direction.  Wearable, personal sensors are quickly growing in sophistication.  The smart watch is evolving to the point that it is a convenient alternative to looking at a smartphone’s screen for many uses.
