The finger phone
A Japanese mobile phone company has developed an amazing new mobile phone. The phone uses the human body to make calls!
Finger Whisper which is built into a wrist strap is worn like a watch. To answer or make a call, you press your finger and thumb together and then put a finger in your ear. The gadget uses human bones to carry the sound vibrations. A microphone which replaces the usual mouthpiece is in the wristband. There is a voice recognition electronic device so instead of dialling a number, you simply say it out loud. The phone is likely to be on sale some time in the near future. It is expected to be a fantastic success.
The company is also trying to develop a device which will analyse brain waves. Instead of speaking out loud, you would only have to think something and it would be transformed into sound. But it would be difficult to keep your secret thoughts to yourself!
