2016 has been a real challenge for us
millennial. It has been a roller-coaster ride, that’s for sure. Even in technology, it had its fair share
of twists and turns that marks the previous year different from others. Take for instance the well celebrated Virtual
Reality. With just two lenses, you’ll get to experience a whole new dimension.
From watching your favourite movie to exploring
new video game- the VR will make you feel so near though so far. The rise
of mobile apps such as Snapchat, Pokemon Go, and more also created a great buzz
all across the world. Same with the
much-awaited iPhone 7 which offered pretty good specs complimented with upgraded headphone, Jack which promised to cut off
the usual cord hassles. And of course,
Samsung Galaxy Note 7 that has been a
pasabog last 2016.
There’s no denying technology has, and
always has been progressive and rapidly changing. That’s the beauty of
technology- it changes and so do we. And although 2016 has been an exciting
year for techy millenial, this year
promises to step up the game even more. For your pleasure we have listed 5 awesome
technologies you surely shouldnt miss.
Ready? Alright, spoilers ahead coming through!
1. Google’s modular Project ARA smartphone

Project ARA is a concept
created by Google which gives users a better smartphone experience. It is a
Lego-style bricks design with six flexible slots, which allows attaching,
swapping, and re-arranging of parts (e.g. camera, speakers) in just a few
seconds. The parts won’t fall off,
because the frame is
secured with durable latches. Google has confirmed the delay of the project,
but hopefully, will be available this 2017.

3. Fake news detectors
Triggered. Not anymore! Many of us have
been fooled by fake news all over the internet. They’re everywhere- your
newsfeed, your friend’s timeline, search engines, and so forth. Because of the
fast spread of information, it has been hard to set apart fake news from the
real one in an instant. That’s why Facebook, along with other social media
sites, are reportedly developing solutions for the widespread problem of fake
news. Technologist Daniel Sieradski has
also developed a plugin called a BS Detector which flags up a warning when
you’re about to open the link which may be from a questionable, fake, or
satirical source. In real time, well see how these social media sites take this
serious matter in their own hands.
4. MU Design’s Bearbot
Perfect for a house companion! MU Design’s Bearbot is an interactive remote which gives users control over household devices with only gestures. BearBot operates just like any other remote, but it can be operated using your Android or IOS device. By using a mobile app, feel free to assign gestures to various tasks.

5. Samsung’s foldable phone

Don’t just count Samsung out of the game
just yet. In fact, a 7-inch curved and flexible device which you can fold like
a wallet may just be a game-changer for smartphones. This device can be used as
a 5-inch smartphone or a 7-inch tablet, it’s up to you. The idea sounds crazy,
but Samsung believes it’s possible.
Samsung has been working on foldable screens for many years now, with
the codename Project Valley. Hopefully, Samsung’s technology will be available
in the market this 2017.
This technology only proves
that anything imaginable is possible. There’s no turning back now for the
evolution of technology. The film Back to
the Future II showed Marty’s self-tying shoes. Now, the brand Nike offers
these kinds of pairs. In the same film, Marty’s kids are seen to be using a
smart eyewear similar to the Virtual Reality device. The Star Trek franchise has also predicted several future technologies.
The characters of the film are depicted to have a wrist-worn communicator, like
the smartwatch we already have in the market. Who knows? If we have seen these
technologies in the movies, we might
even see it in real life...This 2017 maybe, right?
