The thing about disruptive technologies that I've noticed is that they rarely come from the originator of the technology. Instead it takes a company like Apple to sit down and finally work out how to present the technology in a way that the average person not only can use it but enjoys using it. The next thing to disrupt the smartphone industry won't be some crazy new technology noobdy has ever heard about but instead be a well assembled collection of existing technologies made ultra intuitive and easy to use.
- psbp 14y agoI think it's worth considering that Apple was particularly adept at developing the products that have flourished for the past 6 years. You can't definitely say who will be the best able to bring the next big thing.
- yen223 14y agoAgreed. I think the next big thing for mobile tech will be something like wireless charging, or some boost in battery tech. Outside of mobile, the next big disruptive tech will probably be electric cars.
