The most interesting thing for me about all these gadgets/devices in recent years has always been the services. The amazing leaps Google has been making with things like Google Now and with the new Motorola phone (specifically: touchless control, quick capture photos, battery conservation, hands-free authentication) show the promise of the smart AI(like) knowledge about us (our activities, preferences, relationships and environment etc) combined with ever-smarter (sensors) and ever-more connected devices.

Exciting times... so long we find the energy required to keep powering this techno-progress!
