Mobile Devices and the New Technological Era

Since the beginning of this century, portable eletronic devices have been modified the way we lived our lifes in a dramatic way. There were so many changes that we passed to communicate to each other, to organize our life and to do many tasks because of their existence that it's difficult to think in a world with all other things that we have without their.

It began with simple wireless talk devices, known as "brick cell phones", because of their big sizes. These devices evolved, reducing their sizes, year after year, until technology allowed developers to add new functions, as calculators, calendars, alarms and phone books.

I will not describe all changes that ocurred in each year, all of us know the end of the summary (and I don't know all story). In the last five years we have seen the popularization of smartphones and tablets devices. Many of us have a mobile with an iOS or an Android system in our home. What is the future of this and what this mean?

Now, there are more than one billion of activated Android devices and more than 700 millions of iOS': These are monstrous numbers. Day after day, there are more applications been developed, trying to make more easy everyday tasks of all types of lifestyles. You can find an application to help you for develop other applications, or for control your gym routine or even for you take care of your garden.

This evolution don't stopped in this smart devices (that already are more like a computer than a cell phone). In this year, 2013, we see the release of a new type of devices, a type of smartphone in a glasses: the Google Glass. You can do a number of tasks, like take photos, record videos or make calls, only with voice commands and seeing the screen in front of your eyes, without disturbing your vision.. And there are even more: Recent Apps for these crazy glasses allow you to take photos only blinking your eyes or finding a place following a arrow that appears to you.

We are each time nearer to incorporate mobile devices in our body. For example, contact lens that works like a screen is in development in labs currently. I don't know where this will stop, neither if this will stop one day, but we need to stop just for a moment to think what this represent to us. We can't develop things just because we can, we need a path, a target, because with all this advances and informations been increased every day, there is a chance for us to lose ourselves.
