The document provides an overview of consumer technologies that will be important to know about in the future, including makertech, augmented and virtual reality, and the internet of things. It discusses 3D printing, various 3D printing technologies, augmented reality devices like Hololens and Magic Leap, and how the internet of things is being enabled by advances in processing power, memory, and sensors according to Moore's law and Koomey's law. The document concludes by noting that part two will cover emerging technologies.
