The Future of Mobile

You are woken up before the time you have set by a pleasant voice recorded on your mobile phone. What is happening?

You had set the alarm time at 8 am, but the mobile phone alarm has woken you up at 7 am. Even as you try to grasp what is happening, and cut the alarm, you get a detailed report about the weather, pulled in by your mobile phone, by interfacing with different websites –all this while you were asleep.

Glancing through the report, you realize that due to heavy rain, there is major traffic congestion on the route you normally take to office. Your intelligent mobile phone, by combining and interpreting information received on the weather, your location coordinates, and traffic congestion as exhibited on Google Maps, has realized that if you take the normal route, you will be late for the important meeting that’s on your PC calendar, which has been synchronized with the calendar on your phone.

By matching the time you have set as your alarm, and the intended delay that is likely to be caused by the traffic congestion, the mobile phone automatically realizes that you will be late for your meeting, and automatically advances your time by one hour.

You then get out of bed and turn on you TV, which auto starts at you personal dashboard. You are then able to see the storm that your mobile alerted you to, as well as the best route to take to the office so you make it on time. You dress based on the forecast for the rest of the day.

You grin and smile as you think to yourself — technology has truly advanced!
