While we are still using mouses and (virtual) keyboards in most of our digital life, major software and hardware manufacturers are already aiming their focus on something completely new: Thought Controlled Devices or TCD's. Basically, these devices can be anything from phones, latops and phablets to smart fridges, door-locks and smart-tubs. The idea is that thoughts are a way more powerful and efficient method of input then the conventional ways, mainly because we will no longer need an external input device.
How does this all work? We will get to see small devices coming on the market which have to be folded around the ears, allowing reception of one's though, which can then be broadcasted to any TCD device. They will most probably be using NFC (Near Field Communication) for that.
At the moment, Microsoft is already very busy onexperimenting with this new technology for the new Windows 10 operating system (scheduled for 2016), and several manufacturers of electronics such as Samsung, Nokia and Apple are working on implementation as well.
