Yesterday, you developed software for computers.
Today, you build apps for smartphones. What will you work on tomorrow? It could
be one of these five emerging development platforms:- Your car - Cars and trucks are already getting sophisticated entertainment, diagnostics, GPS and similar systems. Future vehicles could have a host of new apps built into the dashboard.
- Your television - Google and Apple are spearheading the way to turn the humble TV into a means of delivering more interactive content.
- Your clothing - Some apparel already hides wires or provides easy access to electronic controls. The clothing of the future could change color or patterns to match your mood or deliver advertisements.
- The electric grid - Think behind plugging appliances into the socket--the electric grid could offer flexible pricing, self-healing circuits, and apps that enable smarter energy use.
- Retail - Apps could display targeted advertising (as in the movie Minority Report), help consumers find goods or enable purchases.
