New Homes and Technology
The wave of the future and ten aspects to look at when
projecting the technology shift of the future are all talked about in an
article called the Futurist. Authors Chris Carbone and Kristin Nauth share
their viewpoints on what ten key trajectories will guide the new wave of
technology.
The purpose of the article is to
enlighten readers on how certain shifts in technology will change how things
are done today. Examples of the ten trajectories are doing away with the cables
that hook up to our personal computer devices at home and at school, the future
points us in the direction to a more wireless type of computers and operating
systems no longer dependent on plugging into cables. Interface without a
keyboard and a mouse will also be on the top ten trajectories of new technology
changes. Knowing the consumer will also be a new trajectory for technology as
new technology will focus more on what the consumer is buying, located, and
their everyday habits will help manufactures of technology better understand
their consumer. The two authors of this
article also explain how houses and apartments will change with new technology
inventions also. For example home systems installed in the house and apartments
could monitor the body language of the home owners and adjust the home to
better suit the homeowners. The house could lower and raise the temperature of
the house and turn the lights on and off depending on which room a person is
in. Much of the technology created now will replace keyboards and use voice
recognition software instead which is faster than having to type all the
information. New lighting technology in our homes could eliminate the need for
paint as adjusting lights could project onto a wall with changing color
designs. The two authors in this article
point out how every aspect of technology will change how we as humans live and
communicate with each other in the future.
The implications of this article are
to those companies who do not embrace the change of technology. Companies who
refuse to change their designs and the way their technology operates will not
be on the leading edge of the future and risk losing their customers. Managers
in today’s technology companies should work with their research and design team
to improve their products to stay in front of the technological wave of change.
I honestly think that this was a pretty neat blog to read, the fact that technology is advancing so fast is quite incredible. Not using any kind of cable to connect a computer to a keyboard is something very interesting. Wireless connections have become very popular over the past few years. In my opinion I believe that companies will eventually have to eventually adapt to new technology in order not loose any business.
ReplyDeleteI have been in the IT business for over ten years so keeping up with technology is nothing new to me, but is always very challenging. From what I have seen the companies that design or implement the lastest technologies are usually the industry leaders. This can have strong implications on a company that implements the latest technolgy and it fails. Successful IT project require strong buy in from the employees that will use the technolgy so this nees to be the first step in the process. This article is interesting on how technology will enhance a homeowers life. It will be interesting to see which builders are the first to jump on this technolgy.
