- Tom’s Guide offers an extensive look at the world in 2025
- The special reports cover everything from AI and iPhones to Wearables Ands -Robots
- It’s a credible look at where most of greater innovation is on the way – with a few surprises
The problem with most stories about the future is that they look so far into the distance that it is difficult to connect them with our current circumstances. Tom’s Guide’s deep dive about what might be called “the near future”, 2035, does not suffer any such interruption.
Even I can see the threads that lead us from, for example, humanoid dreams to more practical home help robots. Or from micro-led TV ambitions to more reliable OLED and beyond. Or from the current AI Revolution to proactive and emotionally attentive chatbots in 2035.
Tom’s Guide, part of the future network and a friend and competitor to Techradar, has built a rich, eight-part deep dive on the world by 2035.
It is a world of surrounding computing, stretchable batteries (possibly recharged via embedded solar panels) and smart glasses that finally achieve their promise thanks to the deep integration of AI and attention.
There is also a nice deep dive on the future of Apple’s iPhone business, which Tom’s Guide, surprisingly, predicts, does not go anywhere, although several AI laptop and unique sensors are trying to make it outdated.
There are plenty of interviews with industry leaders over AI, smartphones, wearables, robotics and cars that help paint a picture of 2035 that is both recognizable, but also on the precipitate of being truly futuristic.
I suggest you pour a nice cool drink, grab somewhere by the pool and get into a deep summer reading. You are probably learning something. I know I did.
