You could argue that’s a definition of success for a gadget: when it is ubiquitous and necessary.
Time to get in on some new gadget that will soon be a boring ordinary part of life. Electric Vehicles look like they will but still pretty expensive. My vote is home automation stuff
Expensive and impractical at the moment due to the lack of charging stations.
I kinda hope not. I don't need even more devices listening in on me.
Most charging happens at home. There are still some hurdles, but lack of charging stations is not the argument against mass adoption of EVs that you think it is.
Sadly I can't find any hard numbers but this report states "The project shed light on other facets of PEV use. It found that public and workplace charging infrastructure enabled drivers to increase their electric driving range, although most drivers did not charge away from home frequently"
edit: nevermind, there is another report that states "According to the U.S. Department of Energy, 80 percent of EV charging happens at home"
And how many people do you think live in apartments/rentals that cannot just install a charging station at home?
My bet is on VR/AR
I have VR and I don't see how that would ever reach mass adoption. I think it will forever be a toy for people interested in techy stuff, and only be a tool for very specific jobs.
It's just not really useful in any meaningful way to most people. Why would I replace a regular monitor with VR if all I do is organize spreadsheets and write emails?
I've got the hardware to use VR on my gaming rig.
But between the entry cost for the actual VR equipment, and the sheer lack of games that look interesting I don't see the point in it.
Then again, the lack of games that look interesting isn't just a VR problem - to me at least.
Repeating patterns of slight upgrades to visuals, mechanics I grew bored of a decade ago, etc.
I used to rip on Madden/FIFA/Sports games in general for that crap, but it seems to be the trend.
That being said, I've felt jaded about games since I was a teen, and that was a long time ago, but there was always something to keep my attention.
Don't really have any other majornhobbies though, so I'm at a bit of an impasse on that subject. I do spend more time with my wife though, lol.
