Liu Hsiang-Ling's "Sticker Phone"
Reading your post reminds me of my first bag phone which I thought was the best invention ever! Your mention of future ways that phones will be used and enhance our lives is exciting. I hadn't heard of the solar phone but would love to have one!
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to remember what life was like without cell phones. I think it's interesting how the cell phone has changed throughout the years and the way that it will continue to change. I think the idea of the solar phone is interesting and a great way to keep it charged. I have a hard time keeping up with my charger and this would be a great benefit to cell phone use.
