2050 is 38 years from now, it is difficult to even predict. Every year, the tech cost is becoming half of last year or trend is exponentially progressing towards making new innovations. Just a point of thought, we are all struggling now with the storage requirement, fund or energy sources it requires now and not seeing enough long term justification of building non valuable huge data across social or contents connecting not only every human but also every piece of machines incl. household hardwares. How would this kind of future phones would operate over the data storage challenge globally when information will be a problem, not a virtue as we will struggle on filtering the value. What may be the environmental impact on energy sources it will require? Agree on the possibility and much beyond of what is reflected as a simple phyloshopy - combination and improvising of existing features can really integrate to much more sophistication, but it has a cost to pay.
Another revolution in medically based technology, which although just beginning to be available and utilized successfully on ‘smart phones’ are app’s which enable people to actually receive and engage in medical therapy. One such innovative, remarkable app called Live OCD Free has been developed to treat and interactively engage sufferer’s of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. OCD affects over 3% of the entire world’s population and is often a silent, debilitating, life destroying illness which is difficult and expensive to treat and usually impossible to find adequate treatment if not located in a metropolitan area. This app is currently available for iPhone’s and can provide treatment for those unable to receive care elsewhere or in conjunction with a therapist. Think of the future implications to people suffering from various illnesses and how much can be done through this smart phone, Pocket Therapist technology in the future! My daughter suffers from Extreme OCD and is using this app for treatment. It has changed our lives! I, personally, am very enthusiastic about the future of smart phone technology.
