Seriously, smartphones will die within 10 years.

[Sithara007]

Until 5-6 years ago, people were using laptops and desktops to browse internet. But then they shifted to smartphones, as they were more convenient when compared to laptops. And if some device is invented which is even more convenient than smartphones (may be smartwatches?), then I guess many of them will shift to this new device.

we just started online shopping through our phones, that's not good. i don't think smartphones will die, there were even blockchain projects that would be useful for smartphones. it will live as we can use it even when on bed. its going to be used anywhere in the world and that it will stay. smartphones are going to act like personal computers on our palms.

Yes I think, lookinng at the pace of scientific evolutions, within adecade some extraterrestrial techss will replace smartphones

[Goethe]

One day,not to soon,but still sooner that you think,the smartphone will die.
Make no mistake:we are still probably at least a decade away from any kind of meaningful shift away from the smartphone.
Piece by piece,the groundwork for the eventual demise of the smartphone is being laid by Elon Musk,Microsoft,Fb,Amazon,and a countless number of startups that still have a party to play.

Best. We will go back to the stone age.

[specialfoolhardyU]

Nope. It is not dying and it cannot die. It will rather improve only.

[Crypcar10290]

Smartphones will evolve into something better, I do not think society will come back to basic phones when it seems that we rely on smartphones already.

[nodtaut7]

Cant say about the future of the excellent future itself. Yes smartphones are itself the future as per me

[eurobend6]

Everything has its own uniqueness and so whatever be the future the evolution of smartphones will keep going and so the smartphones

[lazaretcookery3k]

How can a 'smart' thing die so easily? there is much more path left for the smartphones :")

[cloudgin]

Something better will come as a replacement of smartphones.

[HelperAdvisorsLLP]

I don't agree that it will totally disappear. Maybe smartphones will be transformed, but they will still exist

[dash007]

Smart phones cannot totally disappear. I agree with a point that it is a tool being used to spy upon us, but the fact still remains that in a way, we are kept safe through that means and those with skeletons have more to fear. "when the necessary is not available, the available becomes necessary." I believe a revolution will occur where individuals will stand up and kick against the government spying on them and stricter laws and moves will be made to ensure privacy. But when we weigh the importance of smartphones, extinction does not seem logical.

I don't see smartphones out of our lives anytime soon.

They've became such a big part of our society that they influence language, and social relations themself.

They are the son of satan tho lol .

[Chusnul]

Not at all, but it is getting better and better with every launch of a flagship phone. It is in the past two years only that we got the curved edge display for more utility, a retina scan for better security, a smartphone with almost no bezels at all, a modular smartphone that has the flexibility to attach various mods to increase the functionality and maybe a lot more. Faster processors and better cameras are seen in every update of a smartphone but even they are very much required due to the ever increasing apps and their size and also due to the latest version of a operating systems that again consumes a lot of memory but provide with great features and functionality too.

  Smartphones are really good , but we are using it in extremly bad things , and it is doing us crazy !

I think it's the contrary, smart phones will be greater in 10 years time. It's not gonna die at all,
it will evolve and innovate further beyond expectations. Mobile communications is one of the
biggest life changing innovations in general. Nothing that prominent is gonna die out any time.
If people don't like smartphones, don't buy or use them it's that simple.

[automail]

I think smartphones are just starting to improve their technology, so its on the rise. I don't think it will die in 10 years. What I am thinking is that it will be the most used device after a few year from now, and laptops or desktop computers can be extinct. A lot of desktop features are already installed in a smartphone. If they were able to fix the difference in performance between the two, I think smartphones will rule the tech world.
