What's next in cellphones? Opinion thread - Off-topic

It's late here, so sorry if this has been asked or talked about before. The phone I had for a length of time before this was a Nexus One. I switched to the G2X and hated it with a passion.
Our phones can darned near do anything I can possibly imagine today... especially when you consider that color screens were "hot" just a few years back.
I'm not a gamer by any means. I played Cut the Rope and Angry Birds, but have beaten em both with perfect scores... so gaming graphics aren't really "my" niche. However, what would you like to see a phone capable of next?
I just remember when I had my G1 and the Android platform has advanced so quickly, that I am at a loss of what I would like to see next. The only thing I could say would be a game-changer, would be some type of "real-time" translator. How amazing would that be?
So, my contribution is a translator that could do so in real-time (or at least close). What's yours?

Another random idea....
My 97 year old grandfather was blown away that I could order a book on my phone (through Amazon) and have it arrive the next day. He started talking about how he would love many of the things I do on it, such as checking the weather and news.
While we're all somewhat "techy" on here... it'd be neat to see something idiot proof. That is, something that isn't for the tech savvy like himself, to be able to use it. Voice search has come a long way, but still takes a fair amount of skill.

The trouble with translation of human speech is the literally unlimited variables. Not only the hundreds of languages, but the dialects, the accents, the mis-pronounciations and the combinations of all the above.
The technology will get there, it's just nowhere near just yet. (IBM are flouting their latest super computer is as clever as a cat, but it has 147,000+ CPUs! Not to mention the fact my cat isn't a gleaming example of intelligence).
As for what to expect in handsets, quite frankly, battery tech needs a good boot up the backside into reality, plus the efficiency tech to match.
'toy tech'-wise, I'd like things like an accurate body monitor, that'd be ideal for handicapped or the elderly (or the fitness savvy for that matter) which could automatically alert in case of problems.
Otherwise, there isn't much I can think of that this thing doesn't do (other than make the obligatory cup of coffee). Tech is getting to a place where gadgets can seriously be considered as possible devices to advance the human race rather than just assist it's user.

Technically, our phones CAN make a cup of coffee now! Google arduino twitter coffee pot (or something similar). You can use twitter to send a command to a microcontroller that is hooked up to a coffee pot to make coffee when you tell it too from wherever you are.

This is indeed the most highly sought after and sophisticated programmer in all of history.
Is this a joke? I don't get it at all.
At least my phone works un-like iFonz
I wasn't saying anything negative. I really truly didn't understand your post. Are you saying that you are going to be introducing a whole bunch of new apps? if so, i am happy about that. But I am not sure if it is joke due to the image, which looked like a commodore 64, this is why i asked if joke
So what is this for?
I think you will come and teach us how to design in photoshop? coreldraw?
or maybe the designers Topic in off topic?... what is this for!!!! please!!!!! jajajaj lol sorry about that.
Okay this is my attempt at explaining everything at once, You see there is a problem, there is wizard who controls the world day & night and he has nothing better to do than to get developers to develop new software and everyday he switches them up like gloves. He's got a block on the skyways, the metro system, atm machines. Even your phone & international communications satellites. As you may beginning to understand, that this smart-chip is controlling everything from newscasts to the ethanol boom. Nobody is anybody and the cellphone has global control. I'm merely the wizard behind the magic, why? Because I was the first to put pen to paper. Then I went to mighty mount ararat and Found Two tablet PCs but when I got down and noticed everyone was using mac to edit "Artistic Nude" photos of their wives and daughter I decended upon them with a grave vengence. And only those that are traveling in my Arc will ever be saved.
In conclusion this phone does much more than control my schedule, it controls the world. It will change history.

What is indecency?

Like the topic reads, What is indecency? What according to you is an indecent act?
Anyhting that goes against the moral ethics of one's religion, country or culture.
Tubgirl + Goatse on the same page. Anything less is kosher.
LOL! Funny thread!
It depends where you are. Of course being at a beach you can wear a swimming suit, but wearing anything close to a bathing suit outside of the beach is indecency (in my opinion).
Another thing, I HATE short-shorts, even on girls. It seems younger girls are now wearing revealing clothes, and very tight short shorts. I think if people dressed nicer, they would have much better self-esteem.

I think it's when someone does something stupid intentionally/unintentionally and makes them self look bad. Sometimes, making people around them look bad. It happenes a lot. Many people do stupid crap like rocing out to classical music in a mall, and look like losers. Sometimes you accidently do something stupid and it's like, wow, should've known better. It's when you don't think something out twice.

Indecent? Only thing imho is rudeness. Nothing else can technically be indecent. Just because you don't like vulgar language or revealing clothes doesn't automatically make that persona "indecent." However, everyone has the ability to be polite and there's not a single reason why you shouldn't be. Unless you are, of course, provoked. That's just my two cents.

Before you read any further down in this thread, look HERE.
Imagine that! Apple is LITERALLY in denial. They're blaming the USERS for Apples ignorance in the Mobile Device World. When will the Apple users learn that their devices ARE HUGE PILES OF CRAP!?.. AND ACTUALLY ADMIT IT!?!?!?! FAIL.
Here's the Reality: *When Apple tells users not to hold their device as they see comfortably fit is the day that the sheep get prodded once more.. and all the sheep go back into their state of denial, following the trend of IDIOTS around the world who actually continue paying for Apples Stupidity. Apple has never been #1 in the world for anything besides failure, and that shall never change.
[*And hey, that happened TODAY... run along little mindless sheep... go back to your Apple Tree and cry]
Smart Choice: Buy something that doesn't have a FRUIT LOGO ON IT!!! And they day you do that is the day you'll look in the mirror and laugh at the previous you for falling for an over-budgeted advertising scheme and following the rest of the sheep. Forget Apple and you'll be human again, not an ignorant waste of [male mating juice].
God help all Apple users around the world, allow them to lose the blinding curtain of stupidity that floods their vision. And allow them to once-again think for themselves.
There, I feel better.
What are your thoughts on this issue? And be honest...
[At Staff: If this thread is simply TOO much, feel free to delete it. I just thought it was time for Apple Fans to step into reality.]
Agent Zach
I've been reading your posts for sometime now and in "some" occasions don't really approve or side with your opinions but this time...buddy...right in the nose.
I'm still in awe about the way Apple does business, taking advantage of people just because they are the company that once revolutionized the computer industry with personal computers. It’s like buying a cell phone from Fidel Castro using Hugo Chavez cell company…a marriage made to match.
Just like sheep I tells ya, sheep!!
I was shocked a flaw this big gets through product testing, and then they tell you not to hold it that way? That's it? A flaw that doesn't allow you to use the phone as a phone is a HUGE problem, and Apple won't acknowledge it.
Of course they won't. Why take the blame when they can blame at&t some more.
After reading some reviews, etc.. it seems even the WiFi loses signal when held in hand.
And I'm sure at&t isn't logged into every router in the world... or are they? [We already know Google was once. ]
It's just another fail strategy by the reincarnated Adolf Hitler {Zhe Fuhrer} [Steve Jobs].
if you dont like apple products then thats your problem why do you want the ppl to stop using apple???its a personal choice...not your choice....
All-in-all, I don't want people to stop using their Apple products, I just want them to stop lying to their friends, family, and even THEMSELVES.
Besides, when someone walks into my home with an Apple product, it makes me feel better about about my device, knowing that it works the way it should and they I want it to. Apples devices, on the other hand, work the way Apple wants them to, not how the user wants them to...
are you envy of your friends iphone dropping signals? theres an app for that! lol

Now that would be a trick, threading a square screw into a square hole! I figure if we could find a way to do that, the universe will be able to make square planets. Then the world really would be flat lol
I'll tell you what...
..if you watch all the Wimp.com videos from beginning to end it will be a greater mind-altering/learning experience, than all the LSD on the planet +/- ten years ivy-league education!
I've learned more about about the human condition in 6 months of watching these videos than i have in 38 years of my real life. If you want to see what people are really capable of creating, instead of being drowned daily by what people are are capable of destroying, this is the answer for you!
If this planet is being ruined by 99% of the population, it's the 0.1% that you see in these videos that make the continuation of this species worthwhile!
To do a thread-type inception...were i to bring a person from history back from the dead?.. i would pick Leonardo De Vinci. In an era where dogmatic practices were holding the world back from immense discoveries, the few that dared to challenge the 'accepted' facts, Copernicus, for example, who 'dared' to suggest that the Earth wasn't the centre of the universe..only a part of it, these people, these innovators, led the world into an new era of understanding..these are the people who have driven the advancement of mankind.
In a thousand years from now, who will the future historians be thinking back on as the 'greats' of our time? The Physicians like 'Hawkins'? The artists like 'Dali'? Perhaps the visionaries like 'Asimov'?
Who know's who it'll be...but i'm willing to bet that the first ones for consideration will be the same people who are currently pushing the boundaries, doing the things that that we consider unimaginable, and yet are out there doing the impossible for the enjoyment and betterment of mankind!
I personally have a deep-seated hatred for the ignorance of mankind, but an overwhelming optimism that a select few can make a wealth of difference for the many!
/FridayNightPhilosophy!
EDIT: God only knows, as i sit here ,pissed, listening to great tunes..that out of 7 Billion souls currently on this planet, that my contribution to the planet as a whole is next to useless.
In a million years from now, the best that i can hope for is that my skeletal remains are part of the 0000.1% that may become part of the geological fossil record, that future generations can study and glean an ounce of information from. (Their deductions being that i came from an era where DNA destroying substances, and a penchant for warefare led to the extinction of an entire race...and that we were all obsessed by self-destructive paradigms that ended with us donating nothing more than a few genes to the generations to come, rather than being the fathers of a new and enlightened epoch of history.
Homo-Sapien? Pfft..
..in a million years from now we'll be nothing more that an another branch of the evolutionary tree that suddenly became a bookmark in history! The only hope as i see it is if people wake up to the fact that all we have is what we are now! We're living at at a turning point..and if we don't do the right things now, we'll be expunged from the record books, forever.
That's impressive!

Should there be a maximum age for driving?

Maybe require them to take an annual driver-certification test of some kind after a certain age?
See http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lan...hits-9-children-while-backing-up-his-car.html
Yes, definitely. Here (in norway) people that are 70+ years old must have a "medical certificate" from their doctor, and they have to see their doctor once a year. If their doctor says that they're not fit to drive then that'll be it. Doesn't eliminate the dangers, but it's a start.
Look up driving and accident statistics anywhere in the state of Florida and you'll have a definitive answer. There is something truly frightening about seeing a 90 year old person behind the wheel of a Suburban or Excursion. Especially when they are so hunched over from arthritis that their only line of sight is looking under the steering wheel and over the dash. We called them Q-Tip drivers, since the only thing you could see was a puff of white hair. If you've seen Ferris Bueller you'll know exactly what I'm talking about.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I think drivers should have to retake the entire driving test every time or two they renew their license. That way it doesn't discriminate any group of people, and will eliminate everyone who doesn't know how to drive, not just the older people.

How about a mandatory retake of drivers ed courses for people who get in more than two accidents in five years?
It sounds good in principle, but I have literally seen DMV employees guiding elderly people through the vision test. I think people here regard driving as a right, not as a privilege and responsibility.

+1. Then, there are the cases of old people driving their cars through buildings (they mistake the accelerator for the brake, in a parking lot, when they start their car). I guess when people get old, everything looks the same.

Yes I live in Florida as well. I lost my driver side mirror because some old ass guy decided he didn't like the lane he was in. To bad I was right next to him and he just starts moving over. Luckily I quick enough to act and he only took out my mirror. I see waaay to many old fools that should not be driving.
Sent from my ADR6300 using xda premium
This is what I thought of when I saw this thread.
I dont think there should be no questions asked cut off age, not everybody ages equally. But for sure tests should be administered after a certain age, if you cant pass the test you shouldn't drive..
I think having to get a doctor's release to drive after a certain age makes the most sense. It's not about age, really, but the mental and physical competency that degrades with age.
Maybe not a max age but they def need to get better at screening with age. I mean, WTF, they are so mean there to everyone at the DMV so why are they being " nice" and letting our old folks get renewed when they shouldn't lol

Definitely should be or least re-test after a certain age
Every summer, Southern California sees a temporary influx of old retirees from Arizona. They drive at very slow speeds on the fast lane of our freeways. We just love them for that :^)

Oh god yes. Please. Senior drives are as dangerous as, if not more so than, junior drivers.
Going 50 and overtaking!!! on the bloody Autobahn, are you f*cking kidding me... Or just randomly slamming on the breaks in the middle of a corner. Or crossing the intersection without even so much as noticing all the oncoming traffic!
67. (pension-age) After that, every 5 years a re-exam. If you fail, get used to taking a cab.
I think so...
Seen this discussion on a lot of car forums.
I'm a bit neutral as far as opinion.
Some drivers are inherently incapable all thru their driving years then some are careful responsible till the end.
Now that I'm closing in on 60 I'm way more intolerant of others.
In the past I was a very angry aggressive driver...I never got anywhere faster than anybody else.
Haven't really slowed down, I just do my best to be safe and sane with constant self checks when driving.
