I bought 50 $1000 Apple Stands and now I'm starving on the street. Oh well. Help contribute on Patreon and join the party. https://www.patreon.com/theknowledgehub
I want textile tech. I want smart phone that looks like a sheet of cloth. Just tuck it in a pocket or wear it.
One possible reason to build an incentive for better hardware would be Google cardboard like applications of VR
Eventually there will be a version that’s just a block that connects to Bluetooth accessories and HDMI. The interface would be virtual screens shown on smart glasses.
mobile devices arent really limited bt Moore's law, with cloud computing becoming available the onboard hardware is less important. it's limited to bandwidth ultimately.

The graphic of the word "sales" being flushed down a toilet shouldn't have made me laugh at all, maybe yet another indicator I shouldn't have graduated high school, but they both happened somehow
i honestly hate phones with no home button and no bezels it feels terrible to me
Our phones are smart, smarter than smartphones. Arirang phones, the best phone that money can buy
I already think of my phone as just a tool. I had a Galaxy S7 last year, and now a Pixel 1. It does nothing poorly. I will never spend more than $300 on a phone.
My Galaxy Note 4 works perfectly fine, and I can replace it's battery myself. There's no reason for me to replace it.
Besides, it's CPU is good enough, it's screen is good enough, and has a micro SD card capability up to 256 gb.
A lot.
Honestly I think Google had the right idea with the google glass, but it was just too clunky and "primitive" to come out in consumers hands yet. Like Nintendo when they tried that VR back in the day compared to something like Oculus now and all the others. A small unobtrusive screen you can put infront of one of your eyes is a nice place to start as a way to differenciate yourself from other companies. The question then comes to controls, which granted I've not figured out, but talking to yourself or having to look away defeats the purpose, so some sort of eye tracking. I realize we are getting a bit far into the future maybe, but hey, it's one way to take your gimmick to the next lvl.
Who here still boolin' with their flip phones?
I think we are seeing the end of consumerism, with the rise of gen Z.
Gen Z has already proven themselves to be very thrifty and conscientious consumers. With this generation seeing wages that are well below minimum needed to live its easy to see why.
They rarely take out loans, they cant afford to purchase property, and they can barely afford to feed and house themselves.
Rampant consumption for the sake of consumption is at its end.
The only area this doesn’t apply to is food and cheap entertainment, as they can be afforded.
This is going to be the end of massive waste of space houses, the end of luxury cars, the end of purchasing for a brand and not a product, and the end mass consumerism.
I am gen Z myself, and I have a few examples.
I haven’t bought a new smart phone for 4 years, and wont do so any time soon.
This one works and thats what I need.
My main mode of transit is not a car, its a motortrike. A three wheeled bike.
I bought it for the price of a phone, and its super cheap to run.
My main goal in life is to own my own property and start my own company.
Im sick of working my life away for a company that barely pays me enough to live.
The only things I purchase that are expensive are some foods, and video games I buy second hand or on sale.
This is the situation for many in my generation.
We don’t waste, we don’t buy the latest and greatest because it is marketed as so, we don’t buy expensive cars that are hard to maintain, I personally know several people who have rejected rent and live in a modified bus, and this generation is probably going to crash all large markets as we know it.
Because this generation either cant afford to consume, or doesn’t want to.
Literally was just thinking "I hope knowledge Hub uploads a video soon"
Well you kinda said the same thing over and over again
Perhaps our general purpose phones will specialize in certain things, kinda like how "work" computers and "gaming" computers became a thing.
Maybe something like the scrolls from RWBY would be interesting? Same dimensions and capabilities of a reglar smartphone, but can compact itself for storage.
I was thinking about this today. It doesn't seem like phones can improve as fast as they have in the past.
smartphones will become odsolessend
because they will reach their limt
and the Future will lie in the wearable computing market
like smart glasses and co
Instead of focusing on cameras, I'd like them to focus on storage capacity. It's rather annoying that apps keep getting bigger by the day but, the storage space for said apps remains the same.
Maybe they won't break every 2 years
Music is too loud.
The only reason I buy a new phone is because the battery life goes to shit.
Fun fact: The iPhone 6 was the first foldable phone.
Android 5 was a massive improvement over 4 software wise… 6, 7, 8 and now 9 haven't been anywhere near as drastic change wise. 5 was basically the windows 95 or Vista of Android OS. It set a standard that's frankly still followed to this day. Hardware wise? We've seen gradual improvement, but have mobile processors actually doubled in speed over the last two years? quadrupled in speed over the last 4 years? NO, no we have not seen such massive improvements.
Flip phones were not something that were ever that hot. They just didn't have the resistance to last as much as the "good old" Nokia 3100 series bricks. Now, the new flip phones also flip a screen. They will be even more prone to braking then the old models that just had plastic and a few wires. The future will be just identical slabs of glass. At least in my opinion.
Also, isn't microLED supposed to come with improved burnout resistance and longer lifespans?
And now Google is trying to hide the information from us.
the real question is what are the cell phone companies gonna do when all the rare earth metals are gone
Problem with this video is that he is trying to predict innovations before they even happen, which is very difficult to do. People would say the same thing when talking about flip phones being the height of convenience, and boom smart phones
Samsung already made a flip phone… a smart one
Thank you Vladimir Lenin for teaching about smartphones
0:37 I love you man
The epa is trying to convince us that atnt and Verizon can put 5g into effect as late as 2022
You know what I'd like? Is someone to at least attempt to create holographic displays, nothing too flashy but just something. I'd dig it
Well, any flagship smartphone, which is 3-4 years old is still fine. I swap smartphones almost every half a year and I don't see much difference. Yes, a little faster, yes, a little more bazelless. Cameras aren't evolving that much. Mobile gaming is a joke. Foldable will never become mass market simply because it's not convinient. I think by now it's time to stop pretending that mobile market should rapidly grow each year simply because there ain't much room to do it and companies should switch to selling services primarily (and they are doing that right now, actually).
I hope bottom bezels don't go away. I actually like having a physical home button at the bottom of my screen. I feel like less and less Android phones are having that.
Could it surpass metal gear?
One Word: Holograms
I want holograms to be used in some smart and innovating way.
Could it surpass metal gear?
I had a nice chuckle when I saw Google + icon scroll by when he mentions “social media”. RIP. 7:23
A smart phone…. in your brain
we need a holographic phone which cannot be seen by the others and controled by the mind… duuh…
