Bad news for Nokia, but good news for gadget lovers. Professor Nigel Linge from the University of Salford reckons that mobile phones won’t exist in five years time. Instead, you’ll carry around ‘mobile computers’, which will include wearable parts – he cites communicators on your collar and keyboards on your sleeves as examples.
So actually, it may not be bad news for Nokia – either because of their desire to turn phones into ‘multimedia computers’. Or because they’ll be selling connected coats that play the Nokia Tune when you do up the zip.
