Does today’s technology ever make you feel like you’re living in the future?
It’s true that the Internet has revolutionized the way we do a lot of things. From the comfort of your own home, you can buy groceries, manage your money without ever setting foot inside a bank, and talk to family and friends around the world instantly.
But shopping for groceries and banking aren’t all that exciting or revolutionary. What ever happened to everything else we were promised: the flying cars, personal jet packs, bionic limbs, and moon colonies?
Well, those things are still a bit farther off on the horizon than we thought, but the wearable technology that’s in the works might give you a bit of that living-in-the-future feeling.
Imagine logging in to your bank account with your heart rhythm, wearing smart socks that act as your personal digital running coach, or being alerted of new texts and emails by your jewellery?
It may not be as futuristic as a flying car or jetpack, but it still feels like something straight out of a sci-fi movie.
And this kind of wearable technology could once again revolutionize the way we live our lives.
Instead of just passively consuming information online, websites will be able to use the data from your wearable technology to create interactive websites tailored to you. We’ll be able to do things online that those vintage futurologists never could have predicted. In just 10 years, some experts predict we’ll all be using wearable technology to closely monitor our health, pay at the checkout with our jewellery, and maybe even telepathically share videos with our friends.
What does all this mean for the future of the web, and how can websites start adapting now to the inevitable trend? Check out the tips below.
