Week 1 2015 - What's Next in Technology

                                            Tech Grade 2


CES 2015 starts during week one in 2015 so I feel it's fitting to start the new year of with a discussion about what was a hit last year and what the future holds for technology.

For 2014 3D printing was one of the most talked about subjects in the future of technology and the unlimited potential that it has on the future in many industries.

As 2014 came to an end drones began to pick up momentum and is it coincidental that it is the increased focus on 3d printing and manufacturing that has spurred the done market for without being able to rapidly prototype designs then it is quite possible that drones wouldn't have tallymen of so quickly as a public segment. So how many different types of drones will we see at CES this year and what else will headline CES?

As 4K televisions come to market with less than 1% content availability, current generation television prices continue to plummet. Curved televisions aren't taking off as much as the manufacturers would like them to but will this be the year of curved screens. OLED televisions are still struggling to come to market. The P.C. market has finally begun to pick up after tablet sales cannibalized P.C. sales in 2013. Home automation and monitoring is also something to watch out for as companies like Nest, now owned by Google continue to gain traction in this market space. The internet of things is still lurking behind the scenes but enough of me ranting about random technology.

What are you expecting for the future of technology, particularly for 2015. I would love to read your thoughts and insights. Then at the end of the year we can review our thoughts and see who got it right or wrong.
