Will Computers Replace The Telephone?
Posted on Aug 14, 08 08:59 AM PDT
While everybody is getting comfortable with using Skype on their computers as an alternative to the conventional phone, the fact that the computer needs to be turned on will always be a source of irritation. Intel has just come up with a nifty new component which allows a computer to go to sleep, and “wake up” whenever there is an incoming call, which would be a great way to save on electricity bills. It will even be smart enough to turn on the microphone and speakers to alert the users, and connect the call. Time to trash your standard phone? Maybe, but you might want to hang on to it for a while more, for nostalgia.
