Twenty years ago the idea of mobile phones seemed far-fetched; yet they became the norm. Ten years ago the idea of sending someone a text message seemed silly; yet that too became an everyday occurrence. Only a few years ago, we believed that mobile phones were as far advanced as they could possibly be; then cameras were introduced into the phones. Today, we can use mobile phones to take photos, to send emails, to look at the internet and even as a global positioning device. How much further can the mobile technology keep going we wonder? Mobile giant Nokia has innovative plans to introduce a home control centre for mobile phones; whereby you can control your entire household when you are not even there.

Imagine a phone that you can use to control the heating at your house. You are running a few hours late from work due to a sudden snowstorm, and all you really want is to come home to a warm and toasty home. With the new Nokia mobile, you will be able to control your heating, and adjust the temperatures of your house to the desired heat. You will also be able to control other home appliances, as well as all the lighting. No longer do you need to worry about burglars thinking that you are away. Just turn on the lights during the day or night to scare them away. The new Nokia mobile may seem far-fetched, but then, didn’t we say that about everything that is today considered to be normal?
