There are all kinds of features that will become part of cell phones that will help us offload the more laborious things of life and let us focus on doing the things humans do well, like abstract thinking and creating.

I never really started to carry a cellular phone until it was small enough so I could put it on my belt and not even feel it was there.

What's the biggest function of a cell phone? What does a cell phone do for humanity? It makes people more productive.
