World in your pocket
It never ceases to amaze me how much mobile phone technology has moved on in the short time that it has been commonplace to see guys on the street with a handset glue to their ears. They started off brick-sized, only able to make calls and only then when you were a few centimeters away from the very basic mobile phone masts!
Time moved on a little and the concept of playing games on your handset arrived. OK, at first it was just that ridiculously addictive ’Snake” or maybe a free solitaire game, but now mobiles are practically mini games consoles - and the downloadable games business means big money for developers and mobile phone companies. Just think about ’Angry Birds’, the iPhone game sensation. Not only are they now developing a version for the big boy consoles, but there are even plans to make a feature-length cartoon movie starring the characters!! All from a mobile phone game…
About the same time that ’Snake'burst - well, crawled - onto the scene, another revolutionary change was happening to our mobile phones, the way we communicate and, in fact, our society as a whole. Hands up if you can’t remember how we ever got anything done or managed to meet up with any friends before texting came along? It is such an integral part of all of our daily routines that it is difficult to remember life BT (Before Texting) and even more hard to imagine how it will ever be replaced in the AT (After Texting) age. Perhaps a day will come when voice recognition software will have advanced enough that we can spare our aching thumbs. Or, my personal dream, a kinetic communication device that uses your brain waves to send messages to others depending on how you think. Fair enough, we’re a long way off that at the moment, but I managed to make a ping pong ball move with my brain at the Glasgow Science Museum, so anything could be possible!
