The era of the smartphones is fast becoming a post-smartphone era, a key technology industry expert has said.
Shawn DuBravac, chief economist at the Consumer Electronics Association, said that the smartphone has become so successful it is become a hub for people''s digital lives, and less of a communications tool.
Ahead of Tuesday''s start of the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, DuBravac said that ‘we are entering a post-smartphone era’.
According to the Herald Sun, he said 65 % of time spend on smartphones now is ‘non communication activities’ that include apps for health, entertainment or other activities.
He said that ‘we have moved away not only from telephony, but from communications being the primary part of these devices’.
So it is not just a communications tool anymore, it is a hardware hub around which people design services, the smartphone is becoming the viewfinder for your digital life, he added.
DuBravac said this is among the key trends being watched as tens of thousands gather to show off the latest devices in global trillion-dollar technology sector, the report said.
Another trend is the high-density screens that are being build for smartphones, tablets, computers and bigger devices such as televisions, it added.
