The Turing Test: What Is It, What Can Pass It, and Limitations

The Hottest Gadgets We'll Be Obsessing Over In 2024

New year means new gadgets, so get prepared for a year filled with cutting-edge technology. In 2024, you can look forward to a host of innovative gadgets poised to revolutionize the market.

From game-changing smartphones to awe-inspiring VR headsets, these highly anticipated tech marvels are set to alter our lives, boosting productivity, and injecting a dose of fun into our future.

A win for foldables

Guess what's back—back again! Flip phones are cool again, and the latest OPPO Find N3 Flip is the coolest.

OPPO has once again raised the bar in the flip phone market with the new the N3 Flip.

Packed with remarkable upgrades, it stands out with an industry-first triple camera system co-created with Hasselblad, meticulously crafted to capture photos that mirror your unique style.

Combine this with its intuitive vertical cover screen for swift photo checks and handy functionalities through increased app support, along with a powerhouse battery capacity that lasts long and the fastest charging on a flip today, and you're set to shine whenever you bring out your flagship flip phone.

The future of phones is foldable. And in 2024, foldable phones are finally becoming more affordable and durable, transforming into tablets with a flick of your wrist.

Connected health

Your smartwatch isn't just for counting steps anymore. Much like Pace 3, a new fitness watch built for serious athletes who demand everything from their gear, such as a next-gen heart monitor, accurate SP02 sensors, and a dead-on barometric altimeter, this year, expect more advanced health-tracking sensors in wearables that will help you unlock secrets of your body and lifestyle.

All packed into a lightweight, low-profile designed to run for weeks, the new wave of smartwatches and fitness trackers will likely showcase features such as blood glucose monitoring for diabetics and even integration with augmented reality (AR) platforms. Think of it as having a doctor and wellness coach in one on your wrist.

Immersive Extended Reality

We now have more AR capabilities on our devices—particularly our phones and tablets. This time, we're seeing an even bigger push toward virtual reality (VR), which is also expected to make leaps forward with new standalone units that eliminate the need for external computers or consoles, providing more immersive and accessible VR experiences.

Well, you may not own special glasses like Cyclops' cyber glasses, but Apple's upcoming Vision Pro is the next best thing. Setting the stage for a launch by February next year, this mixed-reality headset seamlessly blends digital content with the physical world and captures the full attention of your eye, and so you are, by definition, immersed in a virtual environment.

A smarter home

Seamless integration between devices and advanced home security systems that learn and adapt to your household routines will make your life easier and more comfortable.

The coming year heralds a trend of multifunctional tech, where innovation takes center stage. Hybrid products, merging various gadgets into one, are set to make a significant impact.

Take for instance the Roborock S7 Max Ultra Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo, a robot vacuum that does more than you can expect.

It hoovers up dirt, dust, pet hair, liquids, and more, then auto-mops your floors to boot. It'll even self-empty and self-refill, so you almost literally never have to lift a finger.

Seems cool, right?

The Most Disappointing Gadgets Of 2023

While 2023 was a big year in consumer tech and had some clever innovations to show off, not everything was a smash hit, to say the least. Whether it was subpar performance, a troubled launch, or a glaring design flaw, these products disappointed us the most.

This year's picks, like the Apple iMac or the GoPro Hero 12, aren't categorically terrible products, but they left us completely underwhelmed and wanting more. As you'll see, failing to live up to the hype could be just as much a letdown as poor performance.
