Mobile phones were an expensive and complicated process in the beginning, with the first call back in the 40's placed from the backseat of an old classic. But as times changed fast, the evolvement of these new portable devices changed even faster. Nowadays, we carry everything in the memory of our phones, they are computer, music-player and telephone all wrapped into one shining case.
What Is Next?
Let us take a walk in the garden of evolvement and see what happens when we make the transformation from Smartphone to super Smartphone. With the weather being a regular topic of conversation all over the world, and with the environment at large being a general concern as well as at the forefront of the political debate, to have a weather app installed could be the next big thing. A phone equipped with a hypersensitive sensor reading our immediate environment giving us a highly personalized weather forecast.
The Book Phone
Already a reality in many cases but still a service waiting to take the full step over to the Smartphone area. You have everything in there, plus an entire library. Whenever you are going on vacation, there is no need to carry a stack of books around, you will just speak the title of any given book and it will appear on your display.
The Instant Translator
You have decided to go to South America but you do not speak or understand a word of Spanish. Well, with the future apps installed in our devices, such petty problems will not be a problem anymore, as the real-time translator keeps even the most advanced political discussion flowing easily. And no more of those corny computer voices, this handy gimmick will add our own voice speaking as fluently in whatever language we choose.
This would truly open the world to everyone and mean the final step of a totally globalized and integrated world. There would be no constraints on where to work and where to live, since your phone would open up the possibility to seek your luck anywhere without the handicap of not having learned the country's native tongue first.
The Hologram
The Star Trek future of beaming is not as farfetched anymore. And to imagine the 3D hologram as a basic app in the not too distant future is highly possible. To just beam out a movie, and letting it play out on your living room floor. Watching future movie-stars having their final showdown right beside you, maybe it will be standard equipment to the Smartphone of the future.
Look into the crystal ball and let your imagination run wild, dream up the most beneficial features and apps your brain is capable of, because chances are if you can think it, it is probably already being tested and developed for commercial use in a technical laboratory somewhere in the world, and it will not be long until they have reached the hardware of our mobile phones.
This article is about the future of mobile phones, and how they will evolve.
