Google’s Eric Schmidt Sees Smart Phones as the Future
Our society today is using more smart phones than even before and as each day passes, the more we grow dependent on the technology –and for good reason too. Smart phones are no longer the simple communication tools that the first mobile handsets were. They can do so much more now –businesses rely on enterprise devices for their employees on the field and people in general consider the smart phone as an all in one device.
And by all in one, the smart phone serves as a media player, digital camera, internet and email access device, and of course, as a mobile phone.
Google’s Eric Schmidt believes that the future of the world relies heavily on the information and convenience that the internet provides. And while the web was first made accessible through computers, it is hard to deny the fact that accessing cyberspace through portable devices is much more logical. Information, anywhere, anytime –this is probably some of the key factors that Google considers when creating new technologies for users.
The Google augmented reality feature, Google Goggles. It turns search into a visual experience and provides users with instant, real time data and information about the things they see around them.
Cheaper devices are also making the internet more accessible to people too. As technology progresses, many of the once high end devices are now made more affordable (and partially obsolete) with all the new models being released. This means that more people will get to go online and as this continues being connected to the web will become a given standard.
Of course, the fact that wireless LAN and 3G technology keeps improving is also an important factor. Having a decent mobile phone is one thing, but having a reliable network also matters a lot for smart phone users.
