The technology
that I think will be obsolete in the future is texting. I think so much of our technology
will be “hands-free” and quick in the future. Even though texting today is the
“future”, I think something will come along to replace it. I think
voice-texting will be created and common. Instead of typing in letters or words
with the fingers, all someone has to do is to speak the words and the cell
phone will recognize it and quickly show it on the screen. I know some phones
today can do that, but not many. Also, the phones that do that today do not
always type the correct words or meanings. I think that in the future, the
programs that do this will be able to interpret meanings of words rather than
just the exact word. What is said into the phone will be taken in context of
the sentence and quickly typed up on the screen. I also think that cell phones
will either be incredibly small or almost invisible. This could result in
holographic images instead of a screen. In this case, the texting might be
displayed in the air in front of a person instead of on a tiny phone screen. If
this is the case, it might also be possible to allow the holographic screen to
be touch screen. Then, you could just type or rearrange letters and words in
the air in front of you. And everything will be voice activated and voice
controlled, adding to the “hands-free” idea of texting. Then, the hassle of
pulling out a phone, opening the phone, typing things on the screen, and
holding a phone in your hand will seem old-fashioned. The cell phone itself may
become old-fashioned. Because of how advanced I think technology is now, it is
hard for me to think that these things will be obsolete in the
not-too-distant-future and that they will be replaced by “new and improved”
futuristic technology.
