What technology could look like in the future

Okay so I have been thinking lately about the advancement of future technologies, because well it almost seems like we could be at a dead end. The iPhone's have been created and are a success however what is next? Everything seems all too familiar, proven by the iPhone 5 we have seen the phone get larger in screen size. Is this the platform for increasing the size of all phones to the old style 60s versions? Is this going to be the new fad for years to come? Getting people purchasing something different deterring them from the comfort of owning an iPhone?

                          

I believe there could be a different idea something that can be used like a phone, but interactive within the household to make things easier. Imagine if you could have apps literally in front of you in your own living room. Imagine if you could use apps in your homes instead of being on a phone. This way others can interact and communicate with you at the same time. If the app acted like a button it could be turned on and off, but then you could scroll the app as the button is used like a mousepad on a laptop. All you would need to do is touch the button and scroll around.

                           

In order for the app to be interactive it could work like a holo projector like that of sci-fi movies where a person or invisible screen in the air appears and everyone is able to see the "screen" and interact with it. Apps could include music apps where people could choose their songs and it would automatically play in their houses stereo. When making phone calls you could look at the person and talk to them while making dinner. When making dinner recipes the projectors would be literally right in front of your face and this way the small size of the device prevents it from getting damaged. Yes, we already have similar devices such as iPad's and iPhones, although their size makes them a lot easier to get broken.You could still play games but multiple people can watch you play too. When you are not using it, the button could show what the date and time were, and your calendar for the week.There would be no need for having to turn on the screen to show this, as it would be literally showing you in the air. You wouldn't need to use your phone or lose it because you wouldn't need it. Imagine being able to talk on a tiny little button that you could carry everywhere fit in the side of your zips in your handbag and even plug in headphones for the go.

As we have seen the iPhone advance with the use of apps there has got to be something new, something that like the iPhone took the world by storm. Yes if this was real it would take away the idea of watching TV as the buttons act like the Internet and you could watch all your shows on there. However, some people would still prefer to watch shows on a screen, much similar in the way people still enjoy reading newspapers rather than on a screen. Unlike watching it on a phone, laptop or iPad everyone is able to watch it too.
