When Smartphones Become Even Smarter

Mobile phone technologies have developed rapidly over the last decades, and experts are making
interesting predictions about smartphones of the future. They say that by 2035, smartphones will be able to
change their shapes to meet the users’ needs. For example, you can fold your phone like a sheet of paper
and put it in your wallet. Similarly, you can bend it and wear it as a watch. Moreover, new generations of
smartphones can send and receive holographic pictures. By using holography, you will be able to
participate in meetings without having to be at the meeting venue in person. You will also be able to
interact in computer games as if you were a character in it. Besides, smartphones will have super strong
sensors to read your mind and complete some tasks, such as making to-do lists and shopping online. They
will be able to sense your mood, give advice and play suitable music. In the near future, many people may
consider their smartphones their best friend, and they may interact with them even more than they do with
