Episode Synopsis: We conclude with the second part of our conversation with Ben Bajarin from Creative Strategies and Techpinions. We examined the uncertain future of different technologies from wearables, VR & AR and home automation after the smartphone platform. We also looked at the evolution of AI and the key trends for the coming year.

Here are the three interesting points which we discussed during this episode:

  • Ben Bajarin explored how the different niche platforms such as artificial intelligence (AI), augmented (AR) & virtual reality (VR), home automation and wearables are being built around the smartphone platform and explained why they are unable to displace the smartphone.
  • He discussed Google’s Pixel strategy and provided the perspective why it is not meant to solve Android fragmentation.
  • Last but not least, we discussed the upcoming trends in technology for the year 2017.
