The World in 2035: A Sneak Peek at the Gadgets of Tomorrow
From smart patches that can read your vitals to AR glasses that could replace your phone, Tom’s Guide takes a deep dive into what’s next for tech.

You’re on your way to work in the year 2035. Despite the heavy traffic, you’re relaxing in the comfort of your EV while it drives itself through the city.
Last night you fell asleep while watching a movie — but your bedroom TV knew exactly when you stopped paying attention. You easily pick back up where you left off, streaming the last ten minutes on the car’s OLED display that curves around the interior.
After first suggesting some new restaurants for lunch, the personal AI on your wrist anticipates the end of the movie and asks if you’d like to organize a multiplayer racing game with your best friend. A few minutes later you get a notification on your smartglasses display — your friend has logged on and is ready to play.
Unfolding your phone into a large tablet, you jump right into the game on a low-latency 6G network. A widget in the corner of your glasses allows you to track subtle changes in your heart rate as you battle to overtake your friend for first place.

The Apple Watch that arrives in 2035 could have enough battery power to last forever. We can also see stick-on ‘smart patches’ that continuously monitor your vitals while looking out for troubling trends. And next-gen ‘smart contacts’ could help you see in the dark or even put names to faces.
Your TV in 2035 will be wildly different — and it’s not what you think
