Living with Technology... What is next for cell phones

Cell phones have been progressing for years. From the first one to the more modern cell phone that began to make its way into the common public nearly 20 years ago. With such a constant progression over time, we have seen cell phones that could make a phone call, to phones that are capable of doing just about everything for us. However, as technology progresses, cell phones that we today find to be amazing will also become out dated and therefore new ideas are already in the making.

One new idea that was recently presented is a mobile dress, where the user lifts her hand and activates the cell phone. An all in once dress/phone where when a women or man is out, they are able to leave their phone behind because it is built into their outfit.



















While the dress is currently in the test stage of design, when it hits the market, the price is expected to be about the same as if the customer was purchasing a dress and a phone. While some might find this to be expensive, the reality is that convenience of it is likely to entice the consumer into giving it a try. As technology continues to progress, these types of items are going to continue to pop up as well as other items that continue to make life convenient for society as we move along.

I have attached the link to the news article if you are interested in gaining an even greater understanding of where cell phones are heading within our society, as technology continues to grow.

  1. Very interesting article! This goes to show that there is absolutely nothing off limits when it comes to the future of technology. It should be fun to see if this becomes something that people will use everyday or possibly just a fad, either way it is very entertaining.

  2. Whoa! At first, I laughed about this idea, but I won't be laughing when this becomes a trend in our world in the future. It is amazing what people are coming up with these days- I would have never thought this would be possible! Did you say men would be wearing this too?

  3. How interesting! You're right in stating that with technology constantly progressing, things like a dress/phone is just the tip of the iceberg. I'm sure many more unique tools are in store for us in the future.
