the future of the mobile phone

It's hard to predict the future, especially when it comes to technology. An interesting article on the Economist takes a look at the history of mobile communications, beginning 130 years ago and asks where we go from here.

Asserting that in a decade's time "a typical phone will have enough storage capacity to be able to video its user's entire life", how will we be affected when the phone hardware becomes a substitute for our memory?

Will it be called a phone? What will it look like, or will it even be seen?  The phone of the future is discussed at the Economist
