Brent Holliday was introduced to the potential world domination of the smart phone when attending a conference in Finland in 2002.\u00a0 Nearly ten years ago, perhaps, but the future was clear for Fins, who recorded a 102% cell phone saturation amongst its adult population.\u00a0 Most cited it, over even keys and wallet, as being the most crucial item to have when leaving the house.\u00a0 Today\u2019s smart phones can be used for social networking, internet surfing, reading e-books, gaming, running loyalty programs \u2013 the opportunities are endless!\u00a0 The future is rife with possibility \u2013 dazzling data speeds, Skyping, individually unique chips for keyless home entry, paying bills, and video conferencing.\u00a0 A new world limited only by our imagination.\u00a0 For most of us, the smart phone has become an extension of our arm \u2013 an appendage that cannot be done without.\u00a0 Creeping stealthily into our lives, most of us cannot imagine functioning without them.\u00a0 If you ask most teenagers, they would likely laugh and tell you that they rarely, if ever, use their phones to make a traditional phone call.\u00a0 So next time you leave your house, make sure you have your smart phone, because the future\u2019s already here!<\/p>\n
