Cell phones

[->0]Mobile telecommunications have come a long way in the last 15 years, can you remember those enormous bricks you used to carry around in your pocket? I certainly do, I remember how primitive some of the earlier models of mobile phones were and how astounded we were by the ability to send an SMS message and phone our friends and family on a mobile device. We then went through a period of mobile phones getting smaller and smaller right up to the point where you could barely hit the correct buttons, the smaller the device you had the more status it gave you. Now we’ve seen an explosion in functionality since the arrival of smartphone technology. We have now reached a point where our mobile phones are more like mini computers than phones. As an owner of an Android device myself I am literally gobsmacked by the sheer number of functions my phone boasts. With companies such as Google, Apple (with the iPhone), HTC, Samsung, Nokia, Microsoft and many others developing smarter handsets at a rapidly increasing pace there is just one question to ask. What does the future hold for mobile phones?
What could the phones of tomorrow possibly look like? What will we be able to do with the phones of the future? Well one thing is for sure, we’ll continue to see this integration of online services and other hardware. How many of us now plug our phones into our stereos and TVs to access our music and video collections, and how many of us do most of our web browsing on our phones? The truth is we’re all spending more and more time on our phones because our phones enable us to complete more of our daily tasks. As we’re currently developing newer efficient screen technologies it makes sense that our mobile phones in the future will have even smarter screen capabilities. We may not even need to touch the screens in the future as cameras and sensors now have the ability to recognise a series of hand gestures. The phones in the future are also likely to have better voice recognition
