What can your phone do?

There was a time that the telephone was merely an instrument that allowed you to speak with people who were far away, but that is no longer the case today. The phone today has become so much more. It can be seen as the ultimate evolving science project which seems to get more technology poured into it with each passing decade.

The phone is no longer stuck to the house, although land lines are still popular. It is the mobile phone that rules a person’s life today. In that mobile phone there are features that could rival a computer. You can do sums on the inbuilt calculator, set an alarm for the time you want to wake, or take a picture of something that amuses you.

You can set up alerts for upcoming events, birthdays, anniversaries and functions so that you never forget to attend one or wish a dear one. You can take a video of your friend giving her speech at the library or just check your email as you ride on the train. And there seems to be even more that you will be able to do with your phone if the developers have anything to say about it.

There is a good chance that you will soon not even have to touch your mobile phone to make it dial a number. Some science experiments are already underway with the scheme. It may not be long before it becomes a reality and is no longer science fiction. Maybe it will be the next science project to look out for.
