The mobile will be replaced by wearable computers - that's the prediction of Professor Nigel Linge, University of Salford. He says "the future of telecommunications is "wearable technology"".

I love that quote:

He said the functions of the mobile phone will be dispersed into components which can be embedded within a person's clothing.

So what he predicts is that what happened with computers will next happen with mobiles. First we have the product itself, the computer or the mobile. Then we see some of their functions within little childs, called GameConsole or Gadgets for computer.

Ok, I guess the Professor really means components within clothes (like the micro). But I love the idea of functions like calls or organizer or games or text (or most of all the future functions of mobiles like diary and log and paybox) build into little wearable applications much more. It makes more sense to replace something not onyl with new hardware but software and service too...
