You might have heard or read or watched about Phone Bloks if you haven't this is gping to be really interesting..

Phone Bloks

Phone Bloks is the idea of totally modular smartphone it comes from the notion that when people are done with a smartphone and it's time to replace it, it's usually because of a single reason, May be it's getting too slow or they don't like the camera any more or maybe the screen broke and they throw out the entire phone, even thought the rest of the phones is still perfectly fine and That creates a lot of unnecessary waste ..

So the Phone Bloks concept is is a sort of a central motherboard or base, that all the rest of the parts plug into in a sort of a block shape kind of like legos,this way if someone decides they don't like part of the smart phone and they want to change a certain thing they don't have to throw out the whole phone they can just remove, attach, rearrange the part of the smartphone to create exactly what they want..

There are couple of logistics things to consider about Phone Bloks .

1. Who is going to make the Blocks? in the concept video they showed that they want to get the attention of big developers and work with very big companies and get them to make block so people can buy parts from trusted manufactures in there custom phone. like speakers from Bose, camera from SONY, Canon Processor choices from Intel  and Qualcomm..
2. This is a very expensive concept building a phone the equivalent of Samsung Galaxy S4 on paper for ex- out of blocks would end up pricing twice as much and it would be a much much  larger device..
   This is because smartphones makers right now have something called supply chain they are just cranking hundreds and thousands even millions or identical smartphone off the assembly line, the devices they are making have a very specific extremely compact design.
   If you have ever taken apart a phone or even just look inside the back cover you see these parts are tied together really tight ..making the phone very thin and light.
   With the same smartphone design the more devices they crank out the more streamlined the process gets and the lower the costs get ..
   
   
   But building the individual smartphones parts like processor, camera , gyroscope and all the other sensors and the battery without weaving them together that's going to be a very large and very expensive smartphone

So here is a thing about Phone Bloks, the idea itself is very cool  and very positive and motives are all great the logistics behind it  are damn near impossible, to pull off right now, but impossible has happened before a 50 years ago having a taking nice pictures with your phone or even having a phone that can go eveywhere with you was unthinkable..

Essentially it's not a brand new or revolutionary idea, it's just the first time has been packaged in a 2min YouTube video sweet animations with 3D graphics that anyone can understand, and i hope it does really well i am totally to have a totally modular Smartphone..

If you want to tell about this to your friend or people be sure to share it..
