The technology it runs much faster than the user. In recent years, we have grown tired of seeing cases in which companies insist on democratizing bets of all kinds with few results. That is what is happening, for example, and at least so far, with 8K resolution or with virtual reality devices. The companies try, but the ordinary user, who is the one who dictates the sentence, is far from fulfilling his part.
Be that as it may, all kinds of technology companies continue to work on new solutions and devices that are expected to soon gain prominence in the lives of all users. We comment some of the most prominent and that, in principle, they have more options to emerge during the recently launched 2023.
More and better AI
In the past 2022, solutions such as FROM-E 2 or ChatGPT, developed by Open AI, have fascinated ordinary users. Today, anyone, without needing to be a researcher, can access the first one and create realistic images simply by typing a handful of words on the keyboard. Likewise, they can use the second to have relaxed conversations on any topic they want with the AI.
The possibilities of these tools are enormous. So many that the solutions have even begun have come to be labeled as a threat to professionals related to painting, writing or design.
Be that as it may, it is to be expected that during this year, companies will work on perfecting the operation of the AIs that are already available and that other companies will try to jump on the bandwagon by launching their own developments.
The metaverse is tightening
The metaversoFor the moment, it remains an illusion. More than a year after Facebook became Meta, and Zuckerberg shared his plans to make the new virtual world the center of everything his company does, ingenuity remains unfuelled as losses run into the thousands. of millions of dollars.
The company will keep trying. Nothing indicates that he is going to give up his efforts. And the competition also looks set to increase in the coming months. In fact, if there are no changes, everything indicates that Apple will introduce its own mixed reality headset before the end of 2023.
The apple company has already said that it does not like the word ‘metaverse’ and does not intend to use it; Possibly, because by now she’s already too related to Meta. However, analysts and leakers point out that the company is determined to compete with Zuckerberg’s technology in both hardware and software development.
It should be remembered that Apple has always been known for democratizing technologies; which is what happened with ‘smartphones’, wireless headphones, tablets or smart watches. Virtual reality and augmented reality viewers can be next.
The console generation begins… two years late
Two years have passed since the release of PlayStation 5. Or, at least, that’s what they say, because finding a little machine in stores has been impossible from 2020 until now. Recently, the company has begun to increase the number of reservations for this console, and has also warned that finding it in retail establishments, as in past generations, is going to start to be “much easier.”
Given the new situation, it is expected that the number of PS5 that have been marketed to date (30 million) will grow significantly in the coming months. Thanks to this, the generation will be able to start for real. It is to be expected that the development studios will begin to exploit the benefits of the machine without having to be aware that their proposals are also compatible with PS4.
Social media will change forever
Twitter looks less and less like Twitter. Elon Musk, its new owner, is completely changing the way the social network works. As he has stated, for the future, he hopes that, over time, Twitter will become more like WeChat, a Chinese ‘superapp’ with which the user can do everything in the Asian country.
It also has TikTok as a reference, or, specifically, the operation of its algorithm. If nothing changes, it is foreseeable that the bird’s ‘app’ will continue to receive new features during 2022. Also that some of them will be paid. It remains to be seen if this will happen with Musk as CEO or simply as owner.
Meanwhile, it is foreseeable that new tools will appear aimed at competing with Twitter. Mastodon, perhaps the ‘app’ that comes closest to it, has grown a lot during Musk’s months in charge of the company; so it would not be unusual for other proposals to begin to be available in the application stores soon.
Meanwhile, it is to be expected that other tools, especially Instagram and Facebook, both under the Zuckerberg umbrella, will continue adding tools that allow them to become ‘superapps’ and compete with more guarantees against TikTok. Another Chinese platform that, in recent months, has tried to clone the operation of the ‘app’ through TikTok Now BeReal.
