Seriously, smartphones will die within 10 years.

[braindeadgenius]

First, most of forum members have internet access at home. Some still go to internet-cafe.
Second, smartphone is spying satan compared to basic phones or feature phones.
Third, feature phone browser is enough when on-the-go.
Fourth, buy a tablet or PDA when you must review documents or do something business-related on the go.
Fifth, many Wi-Fi hotspots are for monetization and making money.

That's why smartphones will die in 10 years, we will start again to use basic phones and make street internet great again. For example free or paid internet shed and telephone shed. For example London is getting uglier (no phone sheds) due to mobile phone revolution. I suggest everyone if you want to join the protest switch to basic phone for 3 days.

I don't disagree that the current smartphone is a spy trap, but you won't see society take a step backwards.

I agree with what you say, a tablet and a laptop especially a desktop could do alot of things a phone can't dk even faster. You could do business and communicate with others much faster and even more flexible. But you forget that other people don't do businesses at all. Some wants to travel or do sports. These people need to be on the move and not be hindered by bulky tech in their pockets. That is where smartphones excel. They could do what tablets and laptops could do in a very compact feature.

After 10 years i don't think so maybe smartphone become more high-tech so smartphone will never die.

[locsta123]

I think they will just transform into a more and more complicated form, or maybe we will refine the technology so much that we will want to make it more and more simple.

[GC2263]

smartphones die in 10 years?! so 10 years later, we will have 'very' smartphones or 'extremely' smartphones. Many concern about the tracking but majority can't live without smartphone so dont think so this will happen.

[kerwin T]

I dont think so. We just can't judge the future.
We can predict but we have no assurities that it will happen.

[vanslyien]

When something left, there is coming new. Technically speaking if smartphones will die there will be a more advanced gadget to be released which will fit on the needs of humans 10 years from now.

[villain24]

It depends on what will be the trend for the upcoming years. At the moment, phones with an internet connection are essential nowadays because of email and browser access.

I think the smartphone will not be easy to die when the progress is faster and more sophisticated. It is true that many devices that can access all the features such as smartphones, such as you mentioned earlier, but in my opinion can not replace the function of a smartphone that is so simple to carry everywhere, can access all our needs in everyday. In addition all the applications currently developed for use in smartphones, very rare to use other devices besides smartphones.

[RaeRivers]

Maybe smartphone will  lost after 10 years, but I'm sure it will have more high tech replacement, More than the smartphone today.

[djangocoin]

You never know they may just be replaced by the next big thing in 10 years or so... such as wearable glasses, headsets, holograms, or something else.

Most people never see the next big thing coming.. one minute they're using touch screen devices in star trek, then 10 or so years later everyone in the world is using them

I can tell many things why this is just a thought process by a few people,yes the cell phones are a tracking device,why you have to worry if you are living a straight life,i do not trust a public Wifi or a internet cafe to log in and check my banking details,are you aware of the danger that anyone could snoop into your financial details if you are using a public system.So think hard what you wish for.

Everything has its own life span!

Only mobile phones are growing fast now!

Now VR technology is very developed, I decided that VR technology may eliminate the smart phone in the near future!

Technology always brings progress to mankind!

[Rsocks]

strongly doubt that they will simply die. can be changed? Become less like a smart watch on your arm

[IcoBaby]

Well, I do not think that this will happen so quickly
I think in some countries, they will live for 20 years
But maybe some kind of smarf is being thought up in an improved form
So far, the society is very clinging to the social network so that they will still need them very much

[endermanfomalhaut7]

Depends on the will power of consumer that if he is ready to sacrifice smartphones in order to increase his time for other activities

Smartphones are so deeply integrated in our lives nowadays that I find this hardly to believe. I am afraid those long lines of people queuing for days to get their hands on the new iphone will still be there 10 years from now.

[slackbreccia7]

I personally don't think that it would ever die. it would evolute from time to time

More and more people are depending upon smartphones to browse the internet. Most of us don't have spare time to do net browsing at home. So most of the browsing is done while we are travelling, and tablets / laptops are not ideal for this purpose.

Smartphones won't have gone anywhere in ten years. You haven't really provided any arguments at all why smart phones will die other than you don't like them. Nobody is going to carry around a tablet just to browse the internet. Phones as they are currently are perfect and very convenient for people whilst you're on the go. I would only take a tablet out with me if I knew I was going on any long trips such as on trains or planes etc.
