Well, let's talk about that today. From the looks of it, there are so many things happening to kill our smartphones, from left, right, and center.

How, you ask? Let's talk about a couple of projects.

Purdue University is developing an intriguing project: the ability to adjust your room's temperature just by thinking about it! This 'Body internet' concept could transform your body into a remote control for all your gadgets.

There's also the Humane AI Pin, created by former Apple experts. It's a small device you wear, filled with smart features, but without the constant buzz and distractions of a phone.

As you can see, the talk about the future of personal tech goes beyond just the decline of smartphones. It's about rethinking how we interact with technology.
