2020 is the Future for Enigin and us All

I have been looking at some gadgets of late - there are so many now that it is difficult to filter through them all.

A part form gadgets of course we have the heavy weights like Apple’s iPad and all the gizmos that Google seem to be producing.

On one trawl across the web I kept on seeing predictive technology, what we are supposed to have in the future - all these amazing things that we look at in wonder but are often forgotten about or laughed at in the future.

In the past they reckoned that by the time we hit the 21st Century we would hardly work, Robots would do that for us, and we would spend our time just playing.

It was partially right, with a worldwide recession a lot of people were not working but they weren’t playing! For the ones that do work, it hasn’t got easier but often it has involved longer hours and more stress! How come nobody predicted that.

Of course in the past the year 2000 was the pivotal point - in the year 2000 people will have this or that, and people would point to imagined technology and forecast all the things we would have, few of them came true.

As we are now at least a decade into the 21st Century what do we point to to as the next pivotal time, it seems by consensus to be 2020.

Lots of inventors and forecasters are stating that by 2020 we will have or do this or that.

For instance Sony have recently predicted they will have their wrist computer, the Nextep (is that Japanese for Next Step?), will be the sort of personal device we will have in 2020 - with a pull out keyboard and a OLED screen plus projecting holographs.

Here at Enigin, as we scour the internet for energy efficiency news we find that many targets are set for 2020 or 2030. The same thought process I guess - the future which seems so far away will bring untold possibilities and solutions.

In reality of course not much will change - yes technology will be better but will it make life better? We will have to wait and see.

At Enigin we are pleased to be on the edge of much of the energy saving technology around today and at the same time through our Eniscope real-time energy management solution ahead of the present with our emerging software.

Yes in 2020 the Eniscope real-time energy monitor will no doubt project energy usage and efficiency readings to individual wrist worn computers, while displaying a huge public holograph - oh of course all in 3D with a live video feed of the last wild Polar Bear struggling to survive!
