This is something we have been hearing since a long time now - "cell phones have become the ultimate convergence electronic device of the century." While there is much to rejoice over the number of devices a mobile phone has replaced, we can be rest assured that there is plenty more coming our way.
In this article let's look at some of these devices that mobile phones have, or will eventually bring, to a state of oblivion.
Alarm clocks, Address books, Digital Diaries
Let me take a wild guess: Every man and woman who visits Techtree.com owns a mobile phone. I don't remember the last time a cellphone user set a separate alarm clock before he or she went to bed. Let's face it, wrist-watches don't have that loud a beep to wake us up from deep sleep, table clocks are loud but have this typical beep that can irritate the crap out of many. However, the speaker on a cellphone is loud enough, and plus you get to wake up to the sound of your favorite song! Done and dusted - alarm clocks are history.
Ah, the infamous "Black book". I still know a few people who like to write phone numbers down in these. But with today's phones that can store more than 1000 contacts, the address book has also met the same fate of the alarm clock. What's the need to write when you can store contacts and search for them with a few key-punches?
Digital Diaries existed in the era of pagers (a.k.a beepers). They were multi-function devices that would store phone numbers, store calendar and appointment entries, notes etc. A 1500 rupees cellphone does ALL OF THAT today, and makes phone calls! Sayonara Casio!
