These days more and more features are being integrated with cellphones. The cellphone started out with two features, call and text. Even in those times text messaging wasn't popular. Now, cellphones can pretty much do what computers do. You can access the net, use a digital planner, play games, create documents, create presentations, use GPS, play music, take pictures and more. Eventually everyone in the world will need and depend on cellphones in their daily lives.
It was discussed that digital money is a possibility, but in Japan, cellphones are being used to purchase items over the counter. In some convenience stores in Japan cellphones carry a chip that contains a certain load, similar to prepaid sim cards. These chips can then be placed near a reader, located at the cashier, and then the amount of the item will be deducted from the users balance.
It seems like more and more people are moving towards a more wireless world. And all of these are aimed to make our lives much easier and more comfortable.
