Smartphone will become obsolete by 2025

Technology is advancing more and more by the year, and soon there will be no inconvenience of holding your phone and losing it every second. A lot of professor’s theories are that there will be a tiny bracelet that pulls up a hologram screen in order to text and send phone calls. This way, you will not have to worry about bringing a physical device out with you.

Smartphone users believe artificial intelligence will take over many tasks that the smartphone does. In fact, artificial intelligence products are already starting to become popular as the Echo, Alexa, Siri, etc. are talking to their user’s and providing information to the users.

Ian Pearson, a futurist said by 2025 smartphones will be rendered obsolete thanks to advancements in augmented reality.

"If it's 2025 and you have a smartphone, people will laugh at you," he said.

It will be possible to pull up screens in AR via a tiny bracelet or other piece of jewelry in the next 10 years, making it unnecessary to carry around a smartphone. Companies like Magic Leap are working to bring AR into the mainstream.
