Will they become obsolete?

So, with the advent of the new super duper mobile phone with more and better applications, will there be a decline in our ‘taken-for-granted’ household / leisure items leaving them obsolete?

Items such as the clock radio, plugged in ready across the bedroom to ensure you get up in the morning…this is now being replaced by the next to the bed mobile phone which does the same job.

What about the radio itself? Many mobile phones now come complete with a radio, necessitating the demise of the good old portable.

And the CD player? I still carry my CD player around with me, comes in handy for playing the Susan Boyle CD I got for Christmas. However, the trend for iPod’s and now music phones such as the Sony Walkman take precedence over this old-fashioned contraption, which must be smaller, neater, and of course, the latest one available!

Finally, to the camera. Whilst Canon and Nikon fight diligently to retain their customers, even to diversifying into assisting mobile phone manufacturers with their technology, will this become a foolhardy exercise? The specifications on mobile phone cameras are increasing with each new product, and, with the increase of social networking such as Facebook, instant uploading of photos has become one of ‘THE’ things to do!

And what’s the future then?

Striding into 2010 sees more and more mobile users using their phones for storing information previously kept handy on their laptop or PC.

The verdict is left open…the advance of the mobile is imminent into all aspects of daily life!
