“A
Superphone will introduce new information-management architecture.Currently,
users initiate information flow from the physical world. The information enters
the smartphone and from there it goes to the digital spheres. In the future,
the smartphone will be an indispensable part, a double of the user. This will
result in two new streams of information from the superphone: one to the
reality, the other to the user.
The
Superphone will be special because it will proactively interact with the
physical world. The smartphone is no longer a passive device, meant only for
communication between the phone and the user.
Instead, with this new information-management architecture, the
Superphone will adapt to address the challenges of information explosion.” –
