#8 Wearable Tech

A survey revealed that about 91 percent of Americans are excited about wearable gadgets than anything else. Wearable tech is all the rage right now, and gadgets from this category has been making headlines at this year’s CES like there is no tomorrow.

Verdict: Definitely. Thanks to Google Glass–which will be available to everyone later this year–a slew of geeky Google Glass alternatives, wearable fitness trackers and even smarter smartwatches are set to hit the stores this year.

#9 Death of the password

According to Ericsson ConsumerLab, 2014 will mark the demise of the passwords. They anticipate passwords will be replaced by biometric data. With Apple already implementing a finger-print sensor technology into its iPhone 5S, maybe they are right.

Verdict: Yes. With passwords becoming increasingly fragile, expect many more companies to follow Apple’s footsteps. Besides device manufacturers, tech giants like Facebook and Google are also working on enhancing their security by using a combination of a cryptographic card and password to grant access to their services.

#10 IT support to come home

The industry analysts at Gartner say the European Union laws will bring about a 20 percent decline in offshoring. This could possibly force companies to depend less on cheap labor for customer support, meaning the tech support is likely to head back to its native country.

Verdict: The support team coming closer to home does not necessarily mean you can fix your plumbing and install an antivirus on your system at the same time in a single call.
