"Ok people face it, the "next big thing" is not going to have anything to do with a smartphone, or even what we currently know as a mobile device for that matter. No, it will be something which is currently out of reach of our perceptions today. Everybody who is talking about "the next big thing" as being a smart watch, or hand motions, etc. is deluded, not to mention technologically illiterate.
Think of the first slate multi-touch smartphone (the iPhone 1). It started a trend and defined what a smartphone is today, that was, at the time, the "next big thing". It was the introduction of what a smartphone should be, and what we all know it as today. It was something completely new, a computer you could hold in your hands, and perform the everyday simple computer tasks with... and that technology has come a long way and even can serve as a replacement of desktop computers for the general user.
As such, the real "next big thing" to come next, will not be something that is a mere extension of the smartphone, or a new feature. That is miniscule. The "next big thing"... will be something else to completely change and revolutionize everyday life."
