When Will Mobile Phones Become Oudated?

Question

I'm so sick and tired of seeing everyone on these blasted little phones always chewing their ears off to everyone. Everywhere I go I see folks talking on phones (in the car, on a treadmill at the gym and even walking home from the bus stop). Not to mention the fact that our privacy is under attack with everyone being able to take pictures on them. Does anyone on this message board foresee people getting tired of mobile phones or having them become outdated with some other device that's less intrusive and annoying?

Please give a serious, well-thought answer. No hecklers, please!

Answer 1

No, I don't think anyone will get tired of having the convenience of contacting people whenever they wish. I think mobile phones will only be less popular when they are replaced with some even more convenient technology (whatever that is).

Answer 2

I think part of it is that people still think they are special if they have a mobile phone...the don't seem to realize that this isn't 1989 and they you can buy them in any 7-11. I am not impressed.

I doubt they will ever be outdated though, people want to stay in touch so there will always be portable communications devices of some sort. Their ubiquitous prevalence as an ear appendage will hopefully become outdated.

Answer 3

They are working on developing mental telepathy for everyone, then we won't need the stupid phones again. I wonder how they are going to tax that now????

Answer 5
