Inspired by Peter Stamp's forecast of technological trends favoring a "less is more" approach, he believes that in the future, "there will be fewer things around." Just as the smartphone replaced pagers, phonebooks, and calendars, technology will become more efficient and compact. Perhaps even smartphones as we know them will soon become obsolete. Here’s a glimpse of a magazine advert that imagines a ‘cell’ phone that stands true to its name:

A smart nano device that can effortlessly sync with our bodies. To make a call, one simply needs to raise their palm; to swipe right on a date, just a gesture is required. No more shuffling to find your phone or fear of losing it when you are the phone with U-Phone.
