I have a phone, while since 2007, I think more than one

Blast from the past.. Perhaps it is time to re-read Asimov's Foundation series.

Star Trek as the inspiration for cell phones, tablets, both full of sensors?

I have a Galaxy S phone, which yes, does seem like a combination of the 1965 Star Trek communicator and Tri-corders. Even more, my android tablets seem even more like Tri-corders. Especially with a now defunct program called Tri-corder

Geographic sensor:


Electro-magnetic sensor:

Amazing advancements in technology and the rate of advancement does not seem to be slowing down.

I'll try to make use of this every present, always connected ability to post more often.
