In 2020, whipping out your mobile phone to make a call will be quaintly passé. By then phones will be printed directly on to wrists, or other parts of the body, says Ian Pearson, BT's resident futurologist.

Hackers would become cyber telepathic hi-jackers..and could get you to horrible things like rob banks or register on Visordown.

Anyone with kids from 12 to 21 will know that the mobile has already been grafted to the side of the head. :D
Only way to communicate with them is by text or of course the time honoured father daughter chat.Money.

Mobile technology is restricted mainly by battery technology. Phones are restricted by the need to type numbers. Watch sized phones have been available in Japan for nearly 2 years - how small do you want? :eek:
