What's Next for Cell Phones?
When you stop to consider it, it's really quite difficult to picture imagine that the bulky, weighty, and unstylish dinosaurs that we used to term as mobile phones in the 1990's were actually the ancestors of today's suave, fashionable, and state of the art mobile phones. But they really are, and we're only left with this feeling of amazement at how inventive humans can really become.
It's inspiring to see the amount of progress that has been done in just a small amount of time. In fact, it's ironic that cell phones are still called phones today. Because with the functions they are laden with, these phones have become much more than just instruments of communication, they've become the Swiss knives of multimedia players. And at the speed things are going today, we can expect more and more innovations and developments to come our way.
Pay Using the Cell Phone
The idea of being able to transact through one's mobile phone is probably one of the things that will change the way we live our lives. This method is actually already being put into practice in Japan. Basically, what you'll do is pay for credits on your cell phone. Credits, of course, correspond to money. There are devices with sensors in the places where you can purchase things and all you'll have to do is to wave your mobile phones in front of the sensor in order to pay. The credits you owe will then be deducted from the number of credits remaining in your mobile phone. The new phones being developed today already have this feature. Of course, it will take some time to gain ground. But, like all the other developments that have been introduced these past years, you'll just notice that this feature, too, will begin to be a fixture in our lifestyles.
The Environment friendly Phone
Sony Ericsson, one of the leading innovators in mobile phones, has designed a cell phone that is completely biodegradable. As of now, it's still in its baby stages, but it won't be long until we have a new, earth friendly phone in our midst. No longer shall we be plagued with pictures of discarded phones gathering in land fills. Finally, here's a phone that will actually aid us in the effort to save the planet.
Sony's new mobile phone is aptly labeled the "Greenheart". It's made of a one hundred percent recyclable plastic called bio plastic. Also, it won't have the standard user manual that comes in a small booklet. Instead, the manual would just be in html. It's truly a winning achievement in the effort to stop global warming.
