In 2022, five gadgets will make all the difference in our lives. They will connect us to everyone we know, they will work by voice commands alone, and they will be so small we won’t even notice them in our pockets or on our walls or ceilings. These five smart gadgets will make our homes safer, healthier, and more efficient; they will track our food, water and exercise; and they will allow us to speak face-to-face with anyone in the world at any time.
How they help you save time
Everyone wishes they had more time. But, with the right technology, you can maximize what time you do have and improve your life at the same time. In fact, we’ve done some legwork and identified five gadgets that will help save you both time and energy over the next 10 years. Here are our top five recommendations: _, __, _, ,and __ .
What they do well
These devices can help track anything from your heart rate to the number of steps you take throughout the day. They sync with your smartphone and enable you to view real-time results on your device or online. For example, if you’re heading out for a run at night, these gadgets will allow you to set up lights so that cars don’t hit you during darker hours. On the flip side, when your phone rings while driving, they will project information onto the windshield—even read text messages aloud—so that you can keep your eyes on the road.
Where and how to get them
By 2022, all devices will have been upgraded to run on the latest version of Windows 10. New consumer gadgets like laptops and cell phones will come with eye-scanners and wireless charging features, as well as built-in 4K video recording capabilities. Of course, if you’re looking for something more high-tech (and expensive), you can always head down to the corner store and pick up your own private jetpack. And if you want something extra flashy, they’ve just released two new smartwatches that turn into wheelchairs when placed near a mirror…but only during the daytime hours! [1]
What are their downsides?
The biggest downside to smart tech is the lack of privacy. While voice recognition technology has been developing for decades, the constant stream of data means voice recognition devices today can know almost everything about you—what you’re doing, what you’re saying, and how your face appears when you do it. For example, one study showed that when people were asked their political affiliations while hooked up to a lie detector (don’t ask how they got that idea), the devices could actually predict party affiliations with 70% accuracy based on only 30 seconds of speech. If they knew more—about where you live or work, who your friends are, or even just whether or not it was morning or afternoon—that percentage would surely increase.
Are they worth the price?
Most of the products on the market today that claim to be smart are nothing more than a rebranding of old technology with new features. For example, smart watches and fitness trackers usually just tell you how many steps you’ve taken. Newer models can estimate your heart rate or blood pressure, but they still rely on something external to do the actual work. Instead of purchasing one of these smart devices, it’s better to invest money into researching how some simple technology could make your life simpler. The smartest gadget a man can buy in 2022 is one that will save him time and energy rather than one that does something for him automatically.
