Mossberg: The next big thing didn’t show up this year | qrcodes et R.A. | Scoop.it
Tech journalists, enthusiasts and investors are always waiting for The Next Big Thing, the compelling new device, app or service that will captivate, and change, the world. Like Google search, or the iPhone, or the Kindle, or Facebook.

But nothing like that happened in 2015.

It wasn’t for lack of trying. All the big tech companies, and some small ones too, brought out new things, and, in my reviews, I liked some, and not others. Some sold well, others flopped. But nothing newly minted in 2015 has captivated and remade the lives of the masses yet, though some technologies that I believe will eventually do so got better and more real this year.
