These are important conclusions of the 13th edition of the report of Deloitte " Prediction - Technology , Media, Telecommunications in 2014 ."

By the end of 2014, nearly 50 million households worldwide will have two or more subscriptions to pay TV, as additional subscriptions will generate some revenue to about $ 5 billion.

The value of the premium broadcasting of sports events will increase to 24.2 billion dollars, an increase of 14 percent in 2013 , equaling the additional $ 2.9 billion .

Global sales of smartphones , tablets, notebooks , TV systems and gaming consoles will exceed 750 billion dollars in 2014.

Supplies "phablets" - smartphones 5.0 - 6.9 inch screens will represent a quarter of all smartphones sold , or 300 million units. This is more than double the volume in 2013 and 10 times higher than sales in 2012 after an initial user quick success in 2014 may be peaking for phablet- s , as expected only one of the users smartphones are ready to work with such a device.

"Our report shows in detail the trend in the industry who are closely followed and often controversial . Although there was uncertainty about portable technology, we predict that consumer interest will lead to revenue worth $ 3 billion from the sale of eyewear , watches and technical fitness bands. We expect to double the number of users of Pay TV, which is contrary to historical expectations completely wireless technologies , "said Dzhokan Barker , leader of the global TMT industry at Deloitte.

From these comfortable to wear computer technology benefits smart glasses are expected to generate the highest sales of 4 million units at an average price of $ 500. From smart fitness tapes are expected to be sold about 4 million units at an average price of $ 140 ; smart watches are expected to reach sales of about 2 million units at an average market price of $ 200 .
" In addition, the smartphones sold , which represent the largest part of the so-called interactive living rooms ( with revenue of 375 billion dollars in 2014 ) reached saturation among most age groups. The only exception is the age group 55 + in which there will be a sharp rise in smartphone usage this year . " Global sales of smartphones , tablets , computers , TV systems and video game consoles will exceed 750 billion dollars in 2014, an increase of $ 50 billion compared to 2013 and almost doubled the result of 2007 .

But that 's not all - 2014 will be the year of those aged over 55 years. This group faces a number of challenges and opportunities. " The commitment of this group to use all the features of their smartphones , not only the function of an ordinary telephone, provide great opportunities . The challenge is that a quarter of the owners of these smartphones would not use mobile applications , "says Barker .

Projections this year reported an increase in eVisits ( virtual visits ) and are expected to become common practice . " We will see a turning point in their use , partly due to the pressure to reduce medical costs and improve quality of care , but mostly this is due to changes in technology and telecommunications infrastructure ," he added .

The report reflects some trends after 2014 and provides "perfect storm " of conditions that could make massive open online courses ( Mook ) a major factor in 2020 , representing almost 10% of all courses in vocational and continuing education. New technology , alternative ways of teaching and the need to constantly update knowledge confirm a trend suggesting that MOOK will grow in the long term, even if it occurred a short break in 2014.
