Technology has come a long way, and it shows no signs of stopping anytime soon. We’ve gotten razor-thin laptops, smartphones that are as powerful as many computers and even cars that can drive themselves. While 2018 isn’t exactly “Back to the Future II”, we still have some advanced tech to look forward to that would blow the minds of anyone from decades past.

Check out four of the top tech trends headed our way in 2018.

Mobile Augmented Reality

AR isn’t just for games, although it did first rise to fame after the global phenomenon Pokémon Go. Now, augmented reality is going to start popping up in dressing rooms, allowing you to try on clothing without actually having to undress, and shopping apps, which will allow you to preview items in your home through a screen before you buy.

Voice Assistants

Apple’s Siri and Windows’s Cortana aren’t the only AIs on the market anymore. After Amazon’s home voice-activated assistant Alexa skyrocketed to popularity, Google Home and many other voice assistant devices have swept across the market. Voice-activated assistance is also a feature that’s being implemented into other everyday machinery as well.

Wireless Headphones

When Apple did away with the headphone jack on the iPhone 7 and subsequent models, there were mixed reviews. Many people weren’t happy about having to swap their favorite headphones for tiny, wireless earbuds that are easily misplaced. Things have changed, though, and many companies like Tivoli Hi-Fi Pty Ltd. and similar businesses have revolutionized the wireless trend and created wireless headphones that are both powerful and versatile.

Smarter Smartphones

The top smartphones of 2018 will have a lot more to offer than just a sleek design; features are consistently being upgraded across the market, which has raised industry standards in an effort to meet consumers’ higher expectations. Waterproofing, wide-screen displays with full HD resolution and advanced cameras are just a few of the trends that can be expected with this year’s phones.

Staying on Top of Technology

Tech moves fast in 2018, and it’s easy to feel like your newest gadget is out of date only a few months after you’ve bought it. But don’t worry; the best way to stay current with technology is to figure out what features matter most to you. There’s no need to spend $800 on a new phone if all it adds is an upgraded camera you won’t use and a bigger screen when yours suits you just fine.

The greatest thing about new tech is its versatility; whether you need something simple for answering work emails and browsing social media in a blast or the latest and greatest in computing and home enhancements, there’s something out there for everyone, and the selection is only getting bigger.
