Ten Things Mobile Phones Will Make Obsolete

An anonymous reader writes "recombu.com has an article examining ten things mobile phones will make obsolete, including phone booths, wristwatches and handheld games consoles. It's interesting to see how many devices have been absorbed into mobile phone technology, and it raises the question: are we better off having everything in one device? The author poignantly concludes that while it's great to have so much power at our fingertips, it does mean that some of us will rely on mobile phones for even basic mental tasks, which is great until the battery runs out."

begs the frickin question

Please stop misusing "begs the question". It makes you seem very, very stupid.

"Begs the question" does not mean the same thing as "Raises the question."

Please don't be stupid on the internet. Please.
