Dreaming of Future Cell Phone Technology

Guest post by: Robert Whipple

Article Overview: I am fascinated by the potential for new technologies in communication. In this article I let down my hair and dream about the possibilities that will eventually become reality by the application of imaging technology and nano-technology.

Dreaming of Future Cell Phone Technology

Cell phones are ubiquitous these days. If you walk around any campus, you will be hard pressed to find a single student that is not using one. Most of them are texting or chatting while they walk, drive, eat, go to the bathroom, and I suppose make love. I have no idea where this trend is going to lead our society, but it is interesting to speculate.

Imagine the logical progression where the information is projected into the inside surface of one's glasses so there is no need to hold a device at all. It could be semi-transparent so the user could see where he or she is going but still "chat" with others. There would be no need to text or type anything because a chip in the temples of the glasses would interface with brain waves so the tiny micro computer could know and transmit what a person is thinking, but only if the person wants to have that information go out. Imagine the fun hackers would have with that feature!

There would be no battery as we know it required to power the device. Instead with the use of nano-technology the "phone" would be powered by thousands on mini turbine generators powered by alcohol. To recharge the device, you would simply put a single drop of alcohol in a port ever 3-4 days, and you would never run out of "juice."

I suppose this would ultimately lead to a kind of "wordless" communication where thoughts were coupled directly into one person's brain from another person's brain. That would eliminate the need for any kind of screen. Where images are wanted, the molecules of air a short distance in front of a person could be made to vibrate in such a way as to form a 3 dimensional color image, sort of like a hologram.

These dreams may seem farfetched to you, but the convergence of visual technology and nano-technology are enabling many devices that already approximate the pieces of the system I have described here. I do not think it will take more than about a decade to put all the pieces together into an actual system. For example, we already have technology that allows individuals who have severed limbs to "think" a prosthesis to move, and it does.

The future of communication is going to be a wild ride, we are really in the "cave man" phase of what is possible. Stay tuned and be flexible!

How do i answer the phone? - I learned this technique from a successful businessman who earns over a million dollars a year. He just uses his name like this... Phone rings... " This is Dwayne..." It kind of throws people off who have a preplanned script and gets right into it. Phone rings... " This is Dwayne..." No Hello, no good morning/afternoon/evening Phone rings... "This is Dwayne..."
Re: Can you read body language and convert it into a sale? - I can definitely read their mood by how they speak on the phone. You can usually also tell by the way they respond to the things you are saying. Phone sales aren't as easy as when you see them in person, but I still believe their tone can tell a lot.
