Studious Tech

Students turn to high-tech study aids to make learning more time-efficient

Implications - In an age where social networking and viral media provides a convenient source of distraction, consumers, particularly youths, are growing up more accustomed to quick and instantaneous methods of information. Seeking to make time-consuming factors like studying more efficient and conducive to a tech-savvy lifestyle, students are turning to digital study aids to combine the convenience of technology with the need to make conventional experiences more productive.
Trend Themes
1. Digital Study Aids - As students seek more efficient and tech-savvy methods of studying, there is an opportunity for businesses to provide digital study aids that combine convenience with productivity.
2. Brain-computer Interfaces - The development of headsets that read brainwaves for meditation, attention and other algorithms could provide opportunities for companies to develop consumer neuroscience products.
3. Gamification in Education - Apps like 'Brain Chase' present a fun and effective way for kids to continue learning outside of the classroom, demonstrating the potential for gamification to enhance traditional educational experiences.
Industry Implications
1. Digital Education - The trend towards digital study aids and gamification in education presents opportunities for businesses to invest in the development of digital education platforms for students and teachers.
2. Consumer Neuroscience - As brain-computer interfaces become more prevalent, there is potential for companies to develop products and services that utilize brainwave monitoring and interpretation for consumers.
3. Print Technology - Devices like the 'Copy & Paste' handheld scanner and the VMO audio note recorder highlight the potential for businesses to invest in developing affordable and convenient print technology for consumers.
