This one is so plainly obvious it can’t even be classed as a prediction anymore. At the time of writing, Ericsson has also released a report which surveyed 100,000 consumers on their own predictions for the top tech trends in years to come. Unsurprisingly, the smartphone will no longer be seen as the go-to-device in our daily lives, with 50% of the respondents stating that they expected most smartphone functions to be superseded by artificial intelligence by 2021.

“Some of these trends may seem futuristic. But consumer interest in new interaction paradigms such as AI and virtual reality (VR), as well as in embedding the internet in the walls of homes or even in our bodies, is quite strong.” – Michael Björn, Head of Research at Ericsson ConsumerLab

So what are we expecting to replace our beloved screens ?
