Message Board Topic: Not Just a Phone

According to Wired Magazine, in five years the phone will have replaced the home pc, the digital camera, the movie camera/camcorder, MP3 player and other devices. As the "phone" can do so much, can we really call them phones any more?

How does having access to all of these devices in your purse or pocket change the way we do things?

How does it allow us to make "more art"?

Does it allow us to make better art?

  2. Yeah its still a phone because you still make calls on it. Its a more useful way because everyone always carry their phones.

  5. It would make it so we do multiple types of art at one time and whenever/wherever we want.

  6. it wouldnt be called just a phone it would have to be some sort of smart phone. it has changed the way every one works or even runs a business. it can take away from making art because people just edit the photos through the phone using the super basic styles of editing. art will become all about technal.

  7. I think a lot will change if we have all this access in our pockets. We could be out and be on the internet, taking photos, taking videos, and listening to music in just one device. I'm not sure if it would make or break art. I think it would take away from the natural way art has been made. But, it could possibly help art digitally.

  8. I prefer home PCs but...
    I'm sure that people might get out more (maybe) since being holed up in your office/living room/Basement etc. is now an option.

    I also think it would be easier to keep ideas fresh in your head when your out without a notebook to jot down ideas.

    I guess it brings in new medias.

  10. it may seem convenient, but it may not seem as appealing to have everything in one. It will seem a lot more common and easy.

  12. Our phone is pretty sweet....i still think of it as a phone. you can make calls and stuff. it helps with art cuz it's more devices to make more art.

  13. I think it's more like a Wizard from that Phil from the Future show. As for better art; I think art's more intrantaneously accssessible but not necessarily better. I think we'd just have a lot more MS paint type doodles online.
