Our present need for internet connectivity is so profound that secondary computer devices are bound to happen. This Sony Nextep archetype was developed and designed by Japanese software engineer Hiromi Kirikito to be worn as a bracelet. It’s a computer concept constructed out of a flexible OLED touchscreen to mimic something you’d find on Minority Report. Earmarked for the year 2020, it features streamlined capabilities such as a holographic projector (serving as the screen), pull-out keyboard panels, voice commands, geo-location responsiveness and social networking compatibility make the concept very plausible. These type of gadgets, condensed to the size of a watch, could possibly serve every modern-day purpose you can imagine―wallet, phone, laptop, camera, car/house key, navigation system, language translator and television. Ten years from now is not too far away, so how many of these do you think we’ll be buying?
