I think it will keep following the cycles of "Make small gadget larger ---> Make larger gadget smaller ---> Make small gadget larger again ..." and "Turn several gadgets into one ---> Turn one gadget into several ---> Turn several gadgets into one again ..." to make sure you have to replace your gadgets for new gadgets at regular intervals. They probably will find some new annoying feature to add to all your appliances once everything from your phone to your kitchen sink has a touchscreen and a WIFI connection.
if you have one device they could just sell you infinite subs to upgrade it, instead of hardware you rent hardware over your high speed internet, offloading resources, like video editors where rendering takes place in the cloud with that feature built in being served by google not a third party
