Top 100 Tech Trends in October

From See-Through Air Fryers to Enhanced Tablet Designs

— October 1, 2024 — Tech
Modern influences are revolutionizing and recontextualizing the technology industry, from flagship-inspired budget tablets to in-game off-road vehicles. In this space, retro gaming handhelds blend classic gameplay with contemporary features, versatile headphone designs are gaining popularity, and AI-based solutions are transforming gaming and lifestyle experiences.

One significant example comes from SwitchBot, a brand that has merged home technologies with premium functionality. The design features a sleek, flat oval surface with a warm wooden finish that doubles as a functional table, seamlessly blending into any room decor. Its minimalist structure not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of a space but also integrates air-purifying capabilities.

Alternatively, the Epson EF-21 and EF-22 are the newest additions to Epson’s EpiqVision line of smart mini projectors. These cutting-edge devices come equipped with smart features like Google TV and Wi-Fi connectivity, enabling users to easily stream content from a wide range of apps and subscriptions.
