The modern world is filled with so many new innovations that it can sometimes be overwhelming. However, there are some technologies that are already making their mark, and we can expect those innovations to only accelerate in the coming decade. According to our research into the top gadgets of 2022, you won’t find any smartphones or tablets on this list—instead, these are the top 10 gadgets of 2022. These cutting-edge technologies will significantly impact almost every aspect of our lives in the coming year. With that being said, do not get scared by all of the futuristic terminologies we used above. In reality, these are some of the most advanced and disruptive tech trends we’ll see emerge in the upcoming two years. So without further ado… Here is our list of the top 10 gadgets of 2022!

 


The Smart Home of the Future

The smart home of the future will not just make your life easier, but will also make your life more enjoyable. The development of connected devices is leading to a new ecosystem where devices and/or people can be more closely connected. We can expect to see a number of technologies being implemented in the near future that will greatly expand the capabilities of our smart devices. For example, we can expect to see the integration of AI and machine learning in the home to create smarter home assistants. This might include things like Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, Siri, and Microsoft’s Cortana. Additionally, we can also look forward to advances in the field of virtual and augmented reality. VR and AR technologies are already making their mark on modern society, and we can expect them to only become more realistic and immersive in the coming years.

 

The Internet of Things (IoT)

The internet of things (IoT) promises to bring connectivity and World Wide Web 2.0-level capabilities to every device in our lives. It will allow us to collect real-time data from almost every aspect of our lives, from our health and finances to our home and car. This will make it much easier for us to track our activities and receive alerts whenever something is wrong or needs our attention. For example, we can expect to see the integration of the internet of things into our home security system. This will allow us to keep an eye on our home security through our connected devices. The same can be said about our automobiles. With IoT sensors and actuators, it will be possible to remotely control car functions like the heating or the air conditioning.

Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality (VR/AR)

VR and AR technologies have become quite popular in the past few years, and there is a good reason for that: They are immersive and realistic, and can help you get close to what life is actually like. You might have played virtual reality headsets for hours on end, but that feeling when you step into a new real environment and you are completely immersed in it—that is what VR and AR is capable of creating. In the coming years, we can expect to see more and more VR/AR headsets coming to the market, and they will feature a built-in camera that allows us to capture images and video, as well as interact with them using a virtual reality environment. One of the most immersive VR/AR headsets on the market is the Oculus Rift, which launches a new version called Oculus Rift V2 in 2022.

Smart Gadgets and Self-Driving Cars

We are currently in the early stages of the self-driving car trend, and it promises to be one of the top 10 gadgets of 2022. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) defines self-driving cars as those that “allow the driver to take over the driving task when the car is involved in an emergency situation.” In order for self-driving cars to become a reality, we need to see regulation in place that requires both liability and regulatory approval for everything related to self-driving cars. In other words, we need to have a self-driving car law. Fortunately, both the United States and China have passed laws that establish regulatory approval and liability in the case of autonomous vehicle technology. These laws will help drive forward the adoption of autonomous cars, and will also help remove some of the uncertainty related to regulation.

The Internet of Things: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

There is already a lot of hype around the idea of the Internet of Things (IoT), and it is not justified. The idea is that every device in our lives—including our refrigerator, car, house, and even our smart appliances—is connected to the internet. In order to take full advantage of the potential of the IoT, we first need to become familiar with its capabilities. That is why the IoT has been given a bad rap, and is often referred to as the “internet of mistakes.” Unfortunately, there is a dark side to the IoT as well. We have observed malicious cyber threats toward enterprises and public infrastructure, such as the recent Wanna Cry attack. It is important to remember that the IoT is not secure by default.

Apps for Humans and Robots in the Smart Home

Robotics has been a major focus of technology trends for the last few years, and thanks to the efforts of companies like Google and Amazon, the field is set for a serious advance in 2022. We can expect to see robots become more and more commonplace in the home, as well as in enterprise and public sectors. The difference between robots and real people is that robots can be programmed to perform specific tasks, while humans are more inclined to doodle, talk, and socialize—all of which are things robots need to function as well as humans do. Combining AI and robotics will make it possible to create robots that can perform tasks that are too difficult or time-consuming for humans to accomplish. One example is home robots that can pre-programmed navigate through your home, fulfilling basic household chores. Additionally, robots will be able to interact with humans, and can even be programmed to interact with pets.

Top 10 Gadgets of 2022: A Hope chest for our digital age

The list of the top 10 gadgets of 2022 is a mixed bag. There are some truly groundbreaking technologies on this list, as well as some that are more of a letdown. However, as a whole, this list represents a great opportunity for consumer electronics manufacturers to cash in on new trends and technologies.
