How Cell Phones Are Making Other Devises Obsolete

Mobile phones (cell phones) have come a long way since their initial conception almost two decades ago.When mobile phones first hit the market they required a trolley to carry around only had buttons 1-9.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 advancement of the mobile phone shows no signs of slowing down either, and those in the know have suggested that before long, there wont be any room in the market for stand-alone gadgets.

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 electrical components and people are becoming ever more mobile, so it make sense that people want to carry their life in their pocket”.

MP3 players used to be things you had in addition to your phone, but as there is plenty of storage room in your cell these days, more and more people are using them for their music devices. Camera technology in phones is advancing at an alarming rate also, with some of the best phones offering up to 10 mega pixels and some even now provide optical zoom. 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.
