Future of Cell Phones

Cell phone have gone a long way. It was introduced almost 27 years ago in the shape of a brick which was good for making calls only. But since then it has been under constant revolution. The future of cell phone is going to be very different. Its going to enter in almost all the aspects of your life, not just for making calls. Here are some of those aspects which I can think of:

• You will be able to make the payment to purchases made online or in store by using your cell phone. Just hold your cell phone against a sensing device and "Beep" . You are done, Thankyou for shopping at Walmart!

• You will be able to lock/unlock your car/apartment by using your cell phones. It will act like a remote key, intgrated with you car and aprtment codes.

• You will be able to find the way to your destination by using your cell phones. Currently we relay upon the GPS devices attached in your car. But then you just need your cell phone to go to San Diego or to go to a Local zoo.

• You will be able to tune in to as many as 100 channels of TV, Radio and download your favourite program or watch it live for free or for a very nominal fee.

• You will be able to take a high resolution photos by using your cell phone. In fact some companies in Japan has released a cell phone with as high as 5 Mega pixel camera. Which sounds to be a decent for a digital camera.

• You will be able to print the photos. The phone will be able to wirelessly transmit the photos to a printer or to nearest store who is having the facility of Online printing. You will be able to select the nearest store for your photo pickup or home delivery.

• You will be able to store more and more songs/movies. Cell phones will sport a new look, more memory and more power. Some experts believe the cell phone memory may grow up to 80 GB in next 5 years.

And, after decades of shrinking cell phones, I believe phones are going to begin growing, just a tad, to accommodate larger screens.

I am not sure when is this going to happen and even if it happens how many of us will be able to afford it. But I am sure that it is going to happen, and sooner or later the count of people will increase who can afford these.


Here is an imaginery picture of a future cell phone.
