Pekka Lundmark shares his vision for the smartphone market during a speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos.Nokia CEO Pekka Lundmark expects 6G mobile networks to be up and running by the end of the decade, but he doesn't think the smartphone will continue to be the most popular common interface at that time. From 2030 onwards, users will start abandoning their phones in favour of other devices, CNBC reports.
"By then, the smartphone as we know it today will definitely cease to be the most common interface," says Lundmark. - Many devices will be built directly into our bodies."
The head of Nokia did not specify which devices he was referring to, but some companies, such as Ilon Musk's Neuralink, are already working on electronic devices that can be implanted in the brain and used to communicate with computers and other people. On a more basic level, chips could be implanted in people's fingers and used to unlock things.Asked when, in the expert's opinion, the world will switch from smartphones to smart glasses and other gadgets worn on the face, Lundmark said it will happen before the advent of 6G.
Recall that Nokia, headquartered in Finland, is building telecommunications networks that allow phones and other devices with internet access to communicate with each other.
The manager is also confident that by the end of the 2020s, people will start actively using smart glasses and other devices that will be worn on the face.
Lundmark is also confident that by 2030, humanity will still have created digital twin technology that is close to the meta-universe. But this will require a different level of computing power than what humans have now.
Google CFO Ruth Porat said augmented reality technology will solve many everyday problems. "Expect the proliferation of smart glasses and, for example, the ability to translate text on the glasses' screen," Porat noted.
In mid-May, Google showed a prototype of augmented reality glasses with voice-to-text translation. The company explained that the product presented allows people from different parts of the world to communicate, eliminating the language barrier.
I thought your post cery good and interesting. And I see while reading your article that it's true and make a lot of sense. While watching TV shows or movies I have often wondered what technology will be like in the future and I see what you mean and agree with you. Very nice and all the best. Stay connected
