I home educate my children and this has been made so accessible and easy die to the technology we now have we have apps on mobiles for my English and science can read books and access resources at home or out and about. I never thought home education would be something I could do but a anyone can no mater what level of education they have I'm so thankful for the advancement of technology for allowing this especially our mobile phones. If we have a written but of course work to compete my daughter used the own on my Samsung Note and writes that's my 2 fav features the apps and ease of homeschooling via technology.

I love being able to do everything with my phone, banking, social media, notes for work etc...would love the Nokia 3210 to be updated and as good as other devices currently available!!
In terms of future tech, volume control for my 5 children would be absolutely magnificent 😂😂
01-16-2023 06:29 PM
Try having 6 like me 🤣
01-16-2023 03:43 PM
Just love my mobile wifi unit with data only sim, wifi everywhere when in my motorhome
01-16-2023 03:43 PM
I have an iPhone 7 what I most like about it is it’s camera I think it is very good quality for this time period.
01-16-2023 03:44 PM
My dinky Lenovo laptop. Absolutely bullet-proof and has never let me down.
01-16-2023 03:44 PM
I love being able to do everything from my phone, banking, social media, notes for work etc...would love to see the Nokia redeveloped to compete with current models.
In terms of future technology, a volume control for my 5 children would be absolutely magnificent 😂😂
01-16-2023 03:47 PM
Best part about my device is the big screen and good memory so I am able to watch the sport on the go and also my children are able to watch their programs on it while waiting around buses or appointments. If only they had their own device 🤣
01-16-2023 03:47 PM
I loved the computer games on the old BBC computer like Elite and Revs. Groundbreaking at the time but I wonder what could be done if they were updated?
01-16-2023 04:01 PM
Elite has been remade and it's epic!
01-16-2023 03:50 PM
Great idea 🙂
01-16-2023 03:51 PM
Love honor 9, great phone 4 the price.
01-16-2023 03:52 PM
Tablet (M5) needs more responsive keyboard
01-16-2023 03:53 PM
Although I own an old phone I love how you can control and access all manner of things from it. Everything from online banking, a godsend since the closure of my local bank, to hassle free shopping with the SmartShop app. Just need more phone memory! 🙂
01-16-2023 03:53 PM
tbh my favourite bit of tech is mobile battery development
01-16-2023 03:53 PM
I’ve had every system and at one point I was running Android and IOS. I’m now 100% Apple and I love its integration and how it all just works around my life.
I just want a Game Boy mini! Go Nintendo Go!!
less carrying around and seamless integrated into life. Wearables are a step forward as my phone is heavy!!
01-16-2023 03:53 PM
My TCL 20 5g is a great phone with plenty of memory a decent camera and android auto for music in the car
01-16-2023 03:58 PM
I have my dream phone at the moment and thank God for people who create technology with much care to Mother Earth. Proudly presenting my Fairphone 4, besides of the chip, everything is replaceable. Anything broken, just purchase the part and send the faulty parts back to them, voila! Interface is working as smooth any other "branded" Android phones. Even it packaging is 100% recyclable! After sales service is efficient, and helpful!
Classic device to revive will be Nokia N900 for me, the longest lasting and stable smartphone. At that time when I had it, their EVIMap technology already ahead of any other navigation devices. A keyboard that I can feel when I type, great screen size as well!
I would LOVED to see a mixture of N900 and Fairphone 4 with a good camera one day!

I love my iPhone 13 Pro Max I can watch moviesat home, in bed or on the beach or where ever i am on holiday.
01-16-2023 04:00 PM
I love my Nokia G20 because while affordable the battery life has genuinely lasted ages, even when I use it all the time 😅.
Next time I really need to go for better camera features I think though.
01-16-2023 04:00 PM
I love that I have compatibility with all my devices(IOS).
A future feature could be to be able to use multiple devices in the same time for playing music, recreating a stereo sound
01-16-2023 04:02 PM
Qns: What future features would you like to see from mobile tech?
01-16-2023 04:01 PM
My 13 Pro Max dives me every feature needed especially when used on the smarty network.
01-16-2023 04:03 PM
A defibrillator is my best piece of technology, as its shocking.
01-16-2023 04:04 PM
Living the van life my Huawei MiFi box and great SIM card deals from Smarty have been amazing at keeping me online virtually anywhere. I now pay less for my unlimited MiFi box card and a separate card for my phone than I was just for my phone SIM on another network. And never an issue with connection, unless of course in a signal blackspot, for my phone, laptop or any other device. Winning!!! 🏆
01-16-2023 04:05 PM
I love my phone since its battery lasts for two solid days of daily usage and it has a great camera under daylight conditions
01-16-2023 04:22 PM
Sounds great, what kind of phone is that?
01-16-2023 04:06 PM
Recently got a Samsung tablet, very impressed with the speed and sensitivity. Very useful as my phone is old.
What happened to Sega, I like the simplistic nature and innocence of games, kinda like games that don't have to be online.
01-16-2023 04:07 PM
I love my phone since its 5000mAh battery lasts for two full days!
01-16-2023 04:07 PM
My favourite bit of tech is definitely my smartphone, but I also like my 360 camera as it captures moments as they are in full surround view.
01-16-2023 04:08 PM
i love my iphone as it is much quicker than phones used to be and can do much more than most pieces of tech nowadays
01-16-2023 04:09 PM
The features my steamdeck offers, AAA PC gaming, emulation and a whole Linux PC in a handheld device
01-16-2023 04:10 PM
My curent device allows me to have enough memory storage, watch videos, movies, navigate on social media, using navigation apps and more. Further device could have a better battery life, image, camera, wifi and data speed. Maybe in near future the devices will can charge without cables and free access to Internet without limit. Cheapest prices for new technology and all gadgets. )))
01-16-2023 04:11 PM
I lovw my iphone as it is much quicker and easier to use than phones used to be. It is also cabable of taking amazing high quality photos and videos
01-16-2023 04:12 PM
I love my smart phone, has a person who takes pictures all the time, The Quality of the camera is insane,
01-16-2023 04:13 PM
I love the fact with a mobile phone it's basically your pocket entertainer, able to do so much with them, but I would to have a phone with either a 3d screen or holographic screen, making the image come to life.
01-16-2023 04:14 PM
I love the ability to screen record with mic capture (Samsung S20 FE). Brilliant for recording tutorials and also sharing things I've seen online with friends, personalised with my running commentary 🤣
01-16-2023 04:14 PM
Smartphones are one of, if not the fastest-growing technology of our times. Although it won't happen overnight, introducing the above features will push us into the next era of mobile technology: an age where phones can last for up to one whole week of use, are less harmful to the planet, have a truly uninterrupted display, and offer a seamless software experience.
01-16-2023 04:15 PM
I love the simplicity and ease of use if my Pixel 6. The camera ceases to amaze me.
The old tech I would love to see updated and usable now would be the HTC Desire C mobile or any of that ilk. It's so light, small and cute & fits in your pocket.
