10 Most Happening Technologies For A Promising 2014


#6 Sign language for computers

The next-gen consoles that were released towards the end of last year were a huge step-up. Besides sporting AMD’s APUs (Accelerated Processing Units) at their hearts, their motion sensing technology was also improved. As both, Xbox One’s Kinect and PS4’s camera systems continue to evolve. We will increasingly be communicating with our TVs and consoles with nothing but gestures. So, having a standard set of gestures, similar to swiping and pinching on Smartphones, will definitely be useful.

Verdict: Yes. Though it might take a little while for such a standard to appear, it is something that will happen as other companies continue jump in on this bandwagon.

#7 Hire a virtual personal assistant

Companies like Accenture and Forbes are betting on us becoming even more dependent on technology, and using a digital assistant to handle chores. While we still will be lifting ourselves from chairs and making our food–remember, WALL-E is set in 2805–they predict we will be using a virtual assistant to handle our relationships, prepare agendas and monitor our health. Well, will we?

Verdict: Of course. Improved next generation services like Google Now and Apple’s Siri will be the digital assistant with a sensual voice aiding us with our chores.
