Technology

Cellphones are a recent technology that have become a huge part of everyday life for a lot of individuals. Many people if given a choice to bring one item with them anywhere would almost certainly decide on taking their cellphone. Cellphones weren't widely available until the 1980s however in those times the idea of a cellphone was basically carrying a modern day desktop computer with you everywhere you went, the mobile phones in those times were bulky and weighed probably around one hundred times what cellphones today weigh, they were also only available to those that could afford them. A large battery pack that was attached to the phone itself had to be carried along at all times and the phones put out very large amounts of radio waves which was not very good for peoples health. Today, cellphones are lightweight, relatively inexpensive, and their batteries can last for hours to days. I believe that in the future cellphones may actually end up being eliminated for actual brain implants connected to a tiny screen and camera in the retina, microphone around the mouth, and speakers in the ear. This will allow the user to talk, listen to music, take pictures and videos through their own eyes, text, and even use the internet without even needing to carry around a cellphone at all. The device won't have a battery at all but instead it will be powered through the body itself just like our legs are powered when we are running. The device could be connected to vital organs and could have a memory of its own that allows the user to have a photographic memory. The device could also play a big role militarily, in police, and even in the common person by showing the user how there vitals are and if they are hurt telling them what to do or to seek help. In the far future the possibilities and roles this device could have are near endless in the sense of advancing human capability.
