Ericsson has released a new report, “Hot Consumer Trends 2016,” and one of its finding is that we clearly thought the Spike Jonze movie “Her” offered a better interface paradigm than our in-constant-need-of-charging smartphones.
“But constantly having a screen in the palm of your hand is not always a practical solution. After 60 years in the screen age, 1 in 2 smartphones users now thinks that smartphones will be a thing of the past, and that this will happen in just 5 years.”
There is coverage of this report out there suggesting Ericsson thinks this will happen in five years, but the report is more about consumer trends — it’s something we want to happen, clearly in part to the amount of battery it takes to power the coffee table-sized iPhone 6S Gigante. But also because Scarlett Johansson is just hotter than Siri.
