Hi there,
My name is Isaac Verniers, one of The Reference's mobile developers. As you might have seen on our social media channels, I was invited to Google I/O 2019, an opportunity that I seized to discover Google’s latest products and platform innovations. After a little more than 15 hours travel time, I arrived at my AirBnb in sunny California, ready to attend my first ever Google I/O!
We have been attending the Mobile World Congress for many years. It has always been a good indicator of the trends coming our way. However, over the years we have learned not to jump the gun because many of the showcased technologies are still in their early days or just entered the hype phase. Our feeling about this 2018 edition is a bit different, we could not really find new shocking technologies but more an evolution and maturation. Therefore, we have baptized 2018 as a transition year.
Admit it, we are slaves of our screens. Some of us call it the screen generation and they are correct. But how intelligent are and become these screens?
Admit it, we have become slaves of our own screens, some even speak of the 'screen generation' and they are right.
With the new devices that are out on the market such as smart watches and Apple TV’s, our screen time increases every day. In addition all kinds of services and support are further digitized.
