Could 2015 be the year of domestic robots and 3D printed food? Futurologist claims technology has reached a 'tipping point'
Comments were made by London-based futurologist Dr James Bellini
He says more people will opt for mobile phone-controlled smart devices
Many of these devices will be home-based, such as smart thermostats
Domestic robots are the product people are most looking forward to
Dr Bellini added that we were beginning to see the phasing out of 'traditional' technologies, such as the TV set and landline phones
A smart home full of devices connected to each other, as well as domestic robots are closer than we think, according to one futurologist.
This year has seen a rush in the popularity of smart gadgets, with items like 3D printers and smart thermostats making it onto Christmas lists for the first time.
The trend is a sign of the way technology will accelerate in 2015, according to London-based futurologist Dr James Bellini.
