Espionage Becomes Technology Trends 2019? - Technology company Ericsson published a report on predictions of virtual assistant technology trends 2019. The report entitled '10 Hot Consumer Trends in 2019 'was based on Ericsson's research and released on December 12, 2018.

This research was conducted in October 2018 with 5,000 advanced internet user respondents in several cities in the world such as London, Tokyo, Shanghai, Sydney and several other cities. "Unfortunately, Indonesia is not included in the sample," said Ericsson Indonesia Customer Marketing Manager Thomas Vidorrekto, in Jakarta, Thursday, December 20, 2018.

Here are 10 predictions of trends in technology use in 2019:

1. Awareables

There are more than 60 percent of virtual assistant users believe that, devices that can understand their mood will become mainstream within the next three years. You can imagine, said Vidor, for example a smartphone can detect when its users are busy and can automatically become silent mode.

"Imagine that smartphones can know more about us, 6 of the 10 virtual system users think that smart devices will be able to detect and react according to the mood in 3 years. In fact, 56 percent want a smart speaker to reduce their voice if needed," Vidor said.

When smart devices became more familiar with their users, Vidor continued, respondents thought that users could tell their secrets to smart devices. In fact, he said, there were 2 times more respondents who believed in smart devices compared to other humans. "Even so, there is still a higher aspect of humanism. Maybe it's still far away, but in fact there is one brand that has issued such a model," Vidor said.

2. Smart Quarrels

There are more than 65 percent of virtual assistant users who believe that smart speakers will be involved in a debate between family members in the next three years. And 31 percent of users believe that, they can argue with virtual assistants that are useful for their users, and will occur within 3 years.

"We know there are various virtual assistants such as Siri and Google Asistant. Our devices are actually various kinds, people also use more than one type of device," Vidor said. "Now imagine there are several devices at home, of which 47 percent of virtual assistants can issue different answers, such as the best movies in theaters or food."

3. Spying Apps

More than 45 percent of consumers believe that the application used always collects data about them, even when they don't use the application. Vidor explained that social media users can certainly find what users really want.

"Indeed there is no evidence that this happened, but some of our respondents, for example, we are talking about a product, incidentally on social media how come there are products that we are talking about," he said. "It makes people think, perhaps even if the smartphone is in a dian condition but the camera detects what we are doing".
