Your personal phone may just become your work phone. The smartphone market is taking over our lives and we don’t even seem to understand its capabilities. Could smartphones be the end of our personal lives? It appears that people are ditching their landline phones in favour of high speed broadband and mobile phones, and the death of the landline phone as we know it could just be the result.
The contact ability of smart phones with GPS and network location services might just spell the end of personal lives as we know it. Your employer, if they provide you a mobile phone has the ability to track your every move. Pop your mobile phone into the dock when you arrive at work and you just clocked in. Pop it in late and you may only get payed for the hours you’re in the office.
The idea behind the smartphone dock is brilliant but are consumers going to give into company expectations. Are we now expected to work 24/7 with our desk work phone? The capability is certainly there!
I do like the idea of the ability to charge your mobile phone and replace your home phone but I’m a little scared of what this means. Are Australians now working, all day every, every day and should you be contactable outside of business hours. Are we going to get paid for this capability?
It looks like it’s here, and here to stay.
