Coming decade set to see some smart innovations
China DailyThe start of the 2020s promises great improvements in the consumer technology we hold dear. It is clear that the market desires this ecological niche of wearable tech, with Google recently purchasing Fitbit for $2.1 billion in a bid to compete with the likes of Apple. In the next few years, wearable accessories may soon be able to enhance our sensory experiences, by allowing us to hear even better or change how other people hear us, making this an extremely exciting concept to follow this decade. The competitive and complicated marketplace between competitors also came to a truce that saw Amazon, Google, and Apple announce that they were working together to create a standard to ensure that smart home products could become compatible with each other. Self-driving cars are another beast entirely, with the likes of Apple, Tesla, and Baidu all in the race to make this technology a mainstream reality as soon as possible.
