Make phones sensible.

Technology!
Today the pleothora of technology found in a phone and the possibilities is taken to a whole new level every year.

Manufacturers today are working hard to make their phone stand out . But they are forgetting what an end user really want. They have put their brains in inventing things which makes anybody dumbstruck. But that is nonsense tech. Take an example, eye scroll from Samsung. Why will anyone want to scroll web pages like that? The thumb is right there. And people use such feature just to show other people that such a feature is there in the phone. They don't actually use it . Another example is Apple Siri, this feature sometimes it's really usefull ,but everyone knows what it is used for, YouTube is filled with videos of Siri answering to all sorts of stupid questions one can imagine. And the first thing that everyone would have/will ask is "how is the weather like today?". The purpose why Siri was launched as a virtual personal assistant is not served. However I will not deny that it is a great source of fun.
Samsung galaxy round. I swear to god I dunno why does anyone wants to buy a curved phone. It just doesn't make sense. One cannot place it on a flat table since its curved , can't put it inside the pocket, it will look bulged and that would look horrible.

Now at the rate of technology improving and more such nonsense technology coming into a phone. We are degrading the abilities of our brains. We are making it more dependent on "non living" things.

Flummoxing isn't it?
We enjoy the sight of ourselves getting outsmarted by something we invented.

All I wanted to convey is, sensible tech implemented in a way that can be used by everyone.

And it's just a phone....a non living thing.
