Now We Can Have Cell Phones Smaller Than Ever

Cell (mobile) phones have been on a serious diet since their conception well over a decade ago. They once resembled hard-back books, and now you can find phones smaller than a pack of chewing gum. That said, there was a marked reversal in this shrinking progress as phones took on more and more functions and applications, such as being used as video cameras and personal organisers. Handsets such as the iphone and other ’smart’ phones did have improved styling, but are considerably larger than many of the previous generation handsets. That said, cell phones could soon be shrinking yet again.
As mobile Internet connectivity becomes increasing more widespread and the speeds continue to increase almost daily, there is a dwindling need to store all your applications and files on the phone itself. You can instead stream whatever information, games and functions you need from else ware, only when you need it. Phones don’t have to be multi functional devices all the time then, they just have to show whichever information and do whichever job is being requested of them at any one time.
A central hub will be needed and this can be either be located in your home or with your service provider. Your handset will be able to ‘login’ easily to this hub, regardless of where you are in the world, and access all the files and programs that are stored on it. You will still need a certain amount of hardware in the phone, such as a camera and other electrical components, but you will be able to save huge amounts of space where memory, processors and mini ac fans would normally be found. This means then that phones could be not much bigger than cable ties and you could even wear them as accessories such on a necklace or as a wrist-band. As phones would not be constrained by previous standard conventions, their evolution in terms of appearance could be almost limitless.
