What is a tech trend going on right now that you just don't understand?

[gabbdogg]

Everyone making smartwatches

 

Im annoyed of smartwatches, like, Idk if this is true but, Tag Heuer is making a Google-powered smartwatch.

 

This is why I contemplate about why I was born.

Why people insist on heaving 1440p or even higher resolution on a 5" smartphone. You're not going to see a difference in pixel density anyway from a 1080p screen so why bother.

 

Also, smart watches.

[Bensemus]

People who assume that everyone should have the same needs and desires related to technology as them.

 

only kinda kappa

[Bmjskater]

 

• Smart-watches
• Wearables
• Mice with gimmicks
• Single port iMac
• Android game consoles
• Drones
• Above 1080p resolutions on smartphones

 

Bruh, drones are sweet.

I kinda like Smartwatches, but i like the implementation of Kairos (for example, don't know of others) way more. Only thing is: they are too damn expensive and i haven't seen any review or something like that, so i don't even know if they're any good.

Other than that, i also can't understand the gold thing and the search for ultimate thinness, compromising battery life in the process (basicly apples new Macbook).

[LegacyStijncat]

• Thinner and bigger phones, at a rising price.

Overpricing of phones (proven by Google Nexus and OnePlusOne)

Mobile games

Alienware

[1Scotty1]

Apple, smartwatches, virtual reality

[Blebekblebek]

up until now, I still don't understand why people love to use twitter

... I mean literally for everything, from casual chat to support

and I hate to contact support by twitter because it's not place to do that, more companies respond faster on twitter than the email/phone contact they have on their page.

like seriously.

I agree with all of this.

 

Wearables/smart watches will be important eventually, but it's too early now.

 

Also 1 port macbook, but i knew what you meant

[Zambonie]

I honestly don't get the craze with both Samsung and Apple

 

To understand curved TV's you have to see one in person I wouldn't buy one, but they do look pretty!  

 

IMO TBH there's really no difference to me with curved displays and flat screens. I've seen many of them before.

[paprikman]

Windows 10.

[Robioto]

The Apple Watch. I was actually curious and considering getting one, but no Wifi or cellular and you need to carry your phone around to use most it's functionality.

Utterly pointless, novelty item and a complete rip off.

I'm with you here, I tried it after years of thinking it's just status updates. Thought there must be more to it, there wasn't, it's just a platform to ridicule others.

[The Web Doctor]

Well consoles do have exclusives and as far as I am concerned the Wii-U is the best option for consoles at the moment. We are all gamers and there is no need for ignorance I wish all games are cross platform but they are not so I have to choose a console that I would like to play as well.  

>Well consoles do have exclusives

 

And so does PC...

[chilicheeseburger]

VR headsets. It just seems like a gimmick and I don't think that in a few years we'll all use VR headsets for everything. Still a cool way to show what's possible today.

I can't stand touchscreens either and wish they'd still make smartphones with physical qwerty keyboards, I just can't stand the on screen keyboards. But I guess it's too late to still call that a trend.

[BOT Edward]

Everyone's hatred towards Apple products.

 

They are actually really good machines/tech, and hey maybe some people might not care how much they pay for aesthetics (but then again, forking out hundreds on a caselabs case and filling it with LED's is basically doing the same thing).

[Wojethebest]

why people are so hyped about overprices pices of junk dji products that you cant even use most of the time becuase of restriction 

[harrynowl]

I'm not entirely sold on VR or Smartwatches myself. My Smartphone replaced my watch.

[TheDev]

2015...the year of the golden apple pimp with his $10k Apple watch and his golden MacBook

[Rettiekadettie]

Not sure if someone said it already,but,curved tv's/smartphones.

Why...just why...

What's next,golden curved tv's that poop curved smartwatches?

[DimasRMDO]

Appearance over specs.

[Fgtfv567]

Curved displays, huge consumer grade PCs, and 2 in 1s.

Why do we want bent TVs?! They're way more expensive, and have very little benefit besides reducing glare a little bit. From a distance you can't tell it's bent, not to mention the bow tie effect.

Why are shitty avg. joe PCs so huge?! People aren't going to open them up! If there's so little upgradability, make it smaller so everyone saves a little money, and consumers don't have to have this huge thing in the way!

2 in 1s are WAYY too heavy to be used as a tablet. Especially 1 handed without any type of desk or lap to support it. My wrist is strained to the point I can't hold it within seconds! And they are ridiculously expensive! i5s and i7s?! We're not gaming on them! Why would we?! There's thermal throttling and no discrete cards!!

Curved tvs are more expensive cause to make a bent tv and not have it broken is expensive, plus they're a luxury. They do make for a more immersive viewing experience, especially when gaming. I wouldnt buy one but still . . .

[Bsmith]

4K screens on everything, i mean seriously, 4K came to consumers, producents slap it around on everything since then.

even though most of the content is not 4K ready or our digital infrastructure is far form ready for it.

[TwOne]

Cloud gaming. Am I the only one who rather has his OWN hardware playing his OWN games? My internet won't handle it anyway.
