With the curtain gradually falling on 2014, the question is: What technological trends can we expect to shape the business world in 2015? Tech aficionados are increasingly on the look- out for answers. To make headway, reflections on the major advances in a wide range of technological fields are being made and used to set the stage for an eagerly anticipated 2015.

Prognosticators have poured over mountains of data, analyzing market trends and consumer habits in order to gain greater perspective on what 2015 holds for the tech industry. Often, when looking at future trends it is easy to compartmentalize emerging technologies and imagine them as living separately to one another. The truth is somewhat different – many technologies burst on to the scene as complementary to one another and combined they create the notable shifts in human lifestyle and behaviors which are the talking points of the day.

The challenge for many leading manufacturers of new technologies is how to help consumers understand how these new innovations will impact them as a whole and also identify a common benefit to the technology they see as providing better solutions to everyday life. One of such companies is LG Electronics with its forward-looking products.

Context-based computing, the internet of things, fashionable wearables, increased potential for mobile computing and optimized cloud solutions are expected to be the defining trends of 2015 and will all be highlighted at consumer technology’s traditional 2015 curtain- raiser CES. The next CES will also be its most connected ever, with virtually all attendees sure to be packing the latest smart devices, ready to serve as elite tastemakers by share their opinions on the new products.

At IFA 2014, LG unveiled an engaging catch-all term for the suite of new products showcased in Berlin back in September. ‘Innovation for a Better Life’ encapsulates just how integrated LG has become in consumers’ lives and sees the company further position itself as a brand that delivers a refined, smart user experience across its entire line-up of consumer electronics and home appliances, including the world’s first commercial 4K OLED TV, G Watch R featuring Android WearTM, CordZeroTM vacuum cleaners and appliances that respond to natural language text messages.
