An infographic demonstrates "How over 40 gadgets converge into the tiny device in your pocket". The image isn't ideal as it comes off as a devotional item to the cult of Apple, but it effectively (and amusingly) demonstrates the various technologies that most current smartphones have subsumed.
Wired has the graphic on their website, but briefly here is the list of old tech now found on smartphones:
- Camera
- Barcode Scanner
- Alarm Clock
- Music Player
- Handheld Gaming
- Video Capture
- GPS Navigation
- Personal Trainer
- SMS
- Radio
- Video Chat
- Bubble Level
- Boarding Pass
- Weather (forecaster)
- Instrument Tuner
- Vuvuzela
- Credit Card Scanner
- Remote Control
- Whoopie Cushion
- Check Deposits
- Lighter for arena power ballads
- Car Keys
Any that Wired missed?
