Cell/mobile phones are being used less and less as phones, and more as portable mini always-connected computers. There have been dozens of names thrown around in sci fi and similar, from Pads to Tabs and Decks to Slates.<p>What's you're favourite/preferred idea for a new for these devices that have taken over our lives?<p>No goals or motives. Just a thought I had as I realised I barely make/receive more than a few calls a week these days.
Personally, I wouldn't bother introducing a word besides "phone," because we shortly won't be carrying one single device like this anymore. May as well just keep saying "phone" for the few years left.<p>Gizmodo tried to suggest "com" instead of "smartphone" about 10 years ago: <a href="https://gizmodo.com/5061705/smartphone-is-a-dumb-word-we-need-a-new-name" rel="nofollow">https://gizmodo.com/5061705/smartphone-is-a-dumb-word-we-nee...</a>
