I was close to our national TV broadcasting station today. I went there for a service delivery. The place is built to standard I must say; well crafted and spacious. I had to admit that to my customer but later ask the final question; ‘how is their service turnover?’. His reply was no longer bold; he had to spit it out that newer cable networks have rendered them outdated. Nobody has time anymore especially in the town/city region to be going through local TV stations for programs. You will find some flaws no doubt; the video quality, appreciatable program and so on.
So yes, this is where the subscribed cable TV’s have really scaled making the later look siloed. Even the cable subscribed channel are under threat, the likes of easy video accessing through social media has shifter users’ attention too. How often do we make social media a go to point for news and entertainment; they are really legends of short video clips. This industry is set to scale beyond this in the later future unless another disruption does not occur soonest.

You know you can’t be too certain. I was talking about how smartphones have really scaled and how they will be in the market for a long time. Nevertheless, a question like, ‘how long can it be is not a bad one to ask’. humans love upgrade, laptops replaced desktops and later came the smartphones. Is a smart phone portable enough? This was a quick debate I had to settle with a friend on chain. His point out suggestion was that smart phones could face off in few decades. Big techs are working on smart glasses and watches no doubt about that.
Can this in the future shut down the demand for smart phones as a single eye Glass can become your all-in-one connection to the globe. Of course, they are here already although not rampant due to cost. Are smart glasses a perfect replacement for smart phones? We have seen gaming pushing into another phase, something that these smart glasses will indeed have a hedge. An advanced city where everyone goes around with glasses, how will that be? I am also considering the fragileness of those glasses because it will have to be light Enough in the face.

Or could it be smart watches with radars flourishing? The setbacks I am seeing with smart watches is lack of data convenience. Take for instance, if you want to use a broader screen you will have to project it out. People can from here see whatever you are doing. It will need extra peripherals to scale to avoid any form of noise pollution. Even the smart glasses too will definitely need every time earpiece. We have to admit it will go beyond just portability. Many peripherals for proper functioning will also lead to another challenge.
Maybe the future will belong to both (smart glasses and watches). Again, it rounds back to multiple peripherals. A watch on your wrist, a speck on your eye sockets and an earpiece in your ears. If it will be so, then a large margin still remains for smart phones to thrive. I mean, you can’t be looking too serious ALL the time. Consider just going for a road work with glasses, earpiece and a watch. How about just trying to be on a sit out with your pocketless shorts and T-shirts. This disruption will have to be well accessed to prevail.
To conclude, let me add, there are so many tech uncertainties as we speak. It always boils down to what to invest and not to invest in the long run. A large flourishing margin is still left in the smart phone industry. First, we have to consider cost of the assumed upgrades; indeed, it will be scanty for a long time. It will just be like what is happening in the automobile industries; those big brands that sell in millions of dollars will have to focus on celebrities and millionaire entrepreneurs, the middle class will be settling for the usual affordable brands
