That is what the inventor of cell-phones believes his creation has become. To much stuff, texting, web surfing, picture, email, navigation, etc. all of that shouldn't be on your phone. This is proof that as we age, we get more and more stubborn that, "Things should be like the good old days!"
Martin Cooper, the lead engineer of the Motorola team that designed the first cell phone has said, "Whenever you create a universal device that does all things for all people, it does not do any things well. Our future, I think, is a number of specialist devices that focus on one thing that will improve our lives."
I wouldn't be too quick to jump the gun there Mr. Cooper. Cellphones that eliminate the need for multiple devices actually do improve our lives. And maybe they wont replace dedicated devices, such as cameras or computers, but they will allow us to do many of those devices' functions reasonably well. This eliminates the need to lug all those devices with us, thus improving our lives.
The older we get, the crankier we get.
