As a child, I can recollect walking into a Verizon Wireless store to see the 1st phone with an in-built color LCD, though it probably wasn't the 1st on the market. It was the first I had ever seen in real life, and I was absolutely shocked. At the time, I could not understand how a colour LCD (the size of a postage stamp) would be handy or required on a cell phone. Right after that, I recollect another trip to the same store months or years on to witness my first camera phone. I can remember thinking the idea was abosolutely laughable. Now, I can not imagine my existence without my smartphone and its diverse features that once existed as stand-alone, end-user products, but what's on the horizon now? What is the future of smartphones?
Obviously, it's difficult for anyone to predict the future. Any idea, discovery or invention has the ability to derail our entire understanding of the planet, our work habits, our tools and our life styles. Of course, we'll try and consider these unknown variables in our equation.
First, the bezel will slowly disappear. For the uninformed, the bezel is the part of the phone case that holds and surrounds the LCD. In a year or two, your phone's display will reach out to the edges the case. We'll potentially use capsules, smartphones and eventually notebooks like this for quite a long time.
As a society, we'll also learn to interact with our phones without depending solely on the touchscreen display and/or keyboard. Our voices are becoming the simplest way to engage with our phones now, and this can continue until it seems laughable to command your phone any alternative way unless, naturally, you are playing a game or using a program that needs the notice of your eye balls. This may also extend to the desk and mobile workstation.
On the topic of workstations, at last the "workstation" will simply be a display dock that connects with your smartphone, tablet or notebook. You may dock your device into the "workstation", complete your work, browse the web, do your thing, and then you may take your computer with you when it is time to bounce. It will be unnecessary to tote around flash cards and mobile HDDs because your entire PC will live in your pocket. Today, youngsters grow up with iPads and iPhones as their first PCs, so there's no reason to think these children will flock to our old technical habits when they grow up. My two-year-old daughter's iPod Touch is equivalent to my old Windows 95 box hooked up to a CRT monitor.
At last, our phones will come outfitted with built-in projectors. It sounds absurd, but we already have the technology to supply a viable consumer smartphone with an inbuilt projector. What is the hold up, you ask? As is often the situation in a capatalistic society, technological and scientific progress must be accompanied by a firm which will make it into a main line idea. When a capable, market-shaping company steps in to correctly design, market and support such a gizmo this could occur. And at some particular point those built in projectors won't require a wall to function , producing 2D "displays" and 3D graphics out of thin air (like R2-D2's inbuilt projector from Star Wars: A New Hope).
