Well, I mean there are smartphones, notebooks, tablets, …
Do you think there can be something new? Somehow I can't imagine that at all.
Let me put it this way: Many people could not even imagine today's devices.
Naturally. At some point things like Alexa and co. Determine our life. Everything only voice-controlled. Maybe there will be no more PCs, but only TV sets that can do everything, such as touchscreen, data transfer via Bluetooth, etc.
That's a good question! I was also thinking about whether the end of the device chain has already been reached with touchscreen technology. What else can come: implants maybe, but not for everyone, since the allergy potential is enormous. The SF series "The Expanse", which was hugely and rightly praised for its setting, shows the next generation of cell phones with built-in AI and partial hologram extensions. But the cell phone is still a cell phone, i.e. A device in the hand the size of a smartphone, but the connections are more elegant.
What mankind has been waiting for for a long time: Real AI, nuclear fusion, anti-gravity, room temperature superconductivity, super solar cells.
Our future and its equipment depend primarily on inventions in the field of energy generation, energy storage and data processing.
But a real novelty, something revolutionary like "cold fusion" or something similar. Is not in sight. We don't even get Corona regulated…
That's right, a thousand years ago they would have imagined a "computer" to be a giant machine made of wood and metal wheels.
I suspect there will be brain interface capabilities at some point in the next 20-30 years. They could totally change our interaction with computers, maybe there will be whole virtual worlds.
At least it is being researched:

Then I could imagine nanomachines that can repair damage in the body.
Androids could also be part of everyday life for the next 20-30 years. Self-driving cars and trucks are sure to become commonplace for the next 5-10 years.
One never had the idea of the computer.
There's already too much of that kind of stuff. Humanity is increasingly forgetting how to think for itself. Sad development.
