Cell phones are one of the signs that mankind is really advancing. They make access to information very easy and ever available at the push of a button. But even with all these advances, there is always room for improvements. Below are some technologies you may soon have in your cell phone:
#1
Smell and See Diseases:
When diseases such as cancer is mentioned in the same sentences as cell phones, it always portrays cell phones as the bad guys stating that they can cause cancer. Scientists at NASA have decided to reduce the guilt currently being suffered by cellphones worldwide by giving phones the ability to smell diseases. They produces a tiny sensor that, once installed in your phone, detect and analyze the chemicals in your breath. The chip is about the size of a nickel and works with 32 sensors that allow it to "smell" predetermined levels of various chemicals. Said chemicals, incidentally, include chlorine, carbon monoxide, ammonia and methane -- coincidentally, all these are components of a fart. Opportunity for app developers to create an app that will be in high demand worldwide - a fart detection app!
The phone will be able to determine whether they have a number of diseases, including lung cancer and diabetes by analyzing the chemical levels in someone's breath.

Scanning Food For Bacteria:
UCLA has created a handy cellphone add-on that can be easily attached to the phone's camera. Through several filters and something called a "quantum dot," the device uses fluorescent imaging to detect the level of dangerous E. coli strands on your food. An even bigger bonus is the fact that the device mercifully neglects to notice any other bacteria you have on your food ... because honestly, if you saw the truth, you'd probably never willingly eat again.
#3
Therapist Apps:
An app was developed to help treat depression. It's called Mobilyze,you install it in your phone and it can tell what your mental state is. It watches your whole life: The system gathers data from GPS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and accelerometers -- all standard fare in most smartphones. Through special algorithms, Mobilyze uses this data to determine if you're showing signs of depression, and reacts accordingly.
So if your phone's GPS says you haven't been leaving the house, or your Wi-Fi displays abnormal activity, Mobilyze will start sending you motivational texts and recorded messages in an attempt to get you to pick yourself up and venture out into the world. If that sounds trite and silly to you, the research says the process actually works. Like a boss.
Researchers at Northwestern University installed Mobilyze in the phones of several seriously depressed patients. By the time the experiment period was over, each and every participant was showing a much better mood.

See Through Solid Objects:
Seeing through solid objects is tops on almost everyone's "Awesome things i wish i could do" list, mostly for despicable reasons. Fortunately, (Or unfortunately), this has only been confined to our imaginations, until now.
We've actually had the technology to see through solid objects for a while now. Electromagnetic waves at the terahertz range are capable of penetrating molecules that optical light can't touch, and with special equipment, this can be used to see through solid objects. That's how those airport security scanners see right through your clothes, though this has always had the problem of needing a lot of power and complex lenses to work and isn't pocket-friendly. Until now.
A research team at UT Dallas has found that they can build a much smaller, more effective version of current terahertz devices using little more than a modern computer microchip, and they decided to stick it to a mobile phone. They have a ready-to-use technology to see through walls, clothes ... the works.The company had the moral ethics to set the see-through visibility to just four inches. It also pays to remember that the 4-inch range is due to a decision by the researchers, not an actual technical limitation. There will be nothing stopping competition from removing this limit once the product hits the market. And given the way free commerce works, the "see everyone naked forever" chip should be available to order online roughly 0.02 seconds after this thing hits the stores.
