All Your Technology In One Phone
17 Oct 2009
The developments in mobile phone (cell) technology, just over the last 10 years have been staggering.It wasn’t so long ago that phones were the size of small dog and had about as many functions as a light switch.Modern phones though do a whole lot more than they used to. You can download videos to watch on your phone, get real-time news fed into it and even use it as a satellite navigation device.The mobile phone is not stopping there however, many believe that it will continue to have more technology incorporated into it and will soon be the only gadget people will need.
John Moore, head of Advanced Technology at Cambridge University had outlined his vision for the future. “ I predict that very soon all the requirements of the modern way of life will be served by phones…technology is getting smaller thanks to things like mini Deutsch connectors and people are becoming ever more mobile, so it make sense that people want to carry their life in their pocket”.
Phones now incorporate MP3 players and as memory in phones is expanding all the time, 1000s of songs can be stored, making an additional MP3 player unnecessary. The cameras in phones now are catching up normal digital cameras, and can offer mega pixel specs of up to 10.0, have a whole host of different shooting functions and again, can easily store whole photo albums. Internet browsing has been made very easy on the latest phones, and many websites have started creating ‘phone-friendly’ versions of their sites in response to the growth in phone browsing.
Many people have argued that a phone will never be able to match the benefits of a large screen that home computers and televisions provide. However, Nokia have recently released a phone with an incorporated projector built in that can provide a screen size of up to 50 inches. It seems like it’s out with home entertainment units and cable ties, and in with nana processers and micro fan accessories, powering some of the most power bits of kit the world has ever seen.
