Are you ready for smartphones to become obselete?

[Jingthing]

Apparently this will happen in about ten years or even much sooner.

Most of us I presume have adapted to smart phones becoming necessary to exist.

This was generally harder the older you are and obviously super easy for digital natives.

But how do you feel about the next step?

Personally I've had enough. I would be happy to see smart phones get better and better, especially more secure, but don't want to ever give them up.

I do not think you will have to give them up. Yes glasses will have advantages, but phones will have advantages the glasses can never provide.

 

Much like there was radio and tv i suspect there wil be AI glasses and phones. One will not kill the other.

Howard Stern would say no.

Exactly. Apple will want to sell you both. Along with a Mac, iPad, AirPods, HomePods etc.

why do you say this? Smart phones are just a computer with a touch screen and cell receivers. People don't want glasses or any other silly nonsense. This has been tried many times now and people don't want it.

I'm not sure, AI glasses have advantages over phones in some circumstances, basically related to instant translation and info, built in speakers and other things that make using them easier than smartphones. I can see AI glasses being a success. I just don't think they will replace phones altogether because glasses can't ever provide some of the advantages of the phones.

I agree with these two.  Wearables aren't that popular (e.g. VR and the apple thing).  Even smart watches are just gimmicky.  The thing is, it's all about the screen.  Phones got a lot smaller, then got bigger again when people wanted touch screens and to play movies and games.

 

I know it sounds a bit "everything that will be invented", but people still like tablets and laptops.  The fact that these haven't been replaced by phones, and phones haven't been replaced, speaks volumes.

 

Unless they can come up with something that goes directly into the brain and creates something that looks exactly like reality, I can't see anything changing soon.

"Elon ending deep state corruption". That's funny.

No one else mentioned Musk, why the need to bring in something so ridiculous and unrelated?

1) Because he is at the forefront of what comes after smartphones become obselete. 2) he is the liberals pinata and target of irrational hatred and thus makes his way into most threads.
