I have been thinking recently about where technology is going to go from here. We have all these amazing mobile devices, smart phones, tablets, laptops. All of these possibilities within a tiny, beautiful package. However advanced things are, it seems to have begun to level off a bit. Sort of like the law of diminishing returns. It seems like all smart phones are going to be brick shaped, though we have seen some interesting designs in the past.
It seems like everything is basically going to level off at a point until someone comes along and creates the next great innovation. Think of the mp3 player, the GPS, all of these things exist now in your smartphone.
I am going to go with the industry and lean toward some form of wearable tech, and a smart watch seems to be the most reasonable to me. Checking a watch is something we're used to, (granted that was nearly assimilated into the smartphone as well) and it only makes sense that as devices get thinner, lighter, they may begin to migrate toward a smaller, more portable devices. However these will be different, as there will be times where a larger screen is necessary and you may still need a tablet or laptop.
I think the smartphone may be a temporary thing. Its later going to be consumed into the next wave of wearable tech. The brick shaped phone will be replaced with something lighter and more ergonomic until it does.
The LG G flex is a brand new take on the classic smartphone form factor
