10 Most Happening Technologies For A Promising 2014


#2 Solar charging

Solar charging has been gathering steam at a steady pace over the last few years. With consumers preferring to go green, tech companies are coming out with eco-friendly ways to charge devices. Solar energy has already been harnessed to power houses, cars and also to cook food. So, can we expect to charge our phones and tablets by simply laying them under the sun this year?

Verdict: Not likely. Solar panels that are small enough to be carried around or integrated onto the devices themselves, all the while packing enough power to charge them are still a few years away. But something we can expect to see this year is a wider adoption of wireless charging. The standard Qi, developed by Wireless Power Consortium, combined with the newer brand Rezence is certain to make wireless charging an industry standard.

#3 Cloudy ahead

Every major company is shifting their focus to cloud technology; they have been for some time now, to be honest. This major technological shift, while having a few downsides, is largely beneficial to everyone. Users can save on hard drive space by storing all their files on cloud storage services like Google Drive, Dropbox or iCloud among others. Cloud storage provides additional benefits to users such as being able to access all their files on any device that has an Internet connection and real time syncing.

Verdict: Our lives will all be online and further connected this year. Thanks to the Cloud.
