The Rotating Cell Phone @_@

Ever since mankind has walked the earth, they have always communicated with each other. Whether it is by speaking with the mouth, with your body, or even with hand gestures, there has always been ways to speak with other people. However, the only problem in communicating back then was that you could not speak to someone from quite a distance. This problem was solved when Alexander Graham Bell made the first phone. This allowed humans to speak to each other from a far distance. This was further revolutionized when Martin Cooper made the first cell phone. The cell phone allows people to be able to bring their cell phone around places with them. However, there is a battery life which needs to be recharged every two to four days. This could be solved with the eco-friendly telephone by Mikhail Stawsky. The cell phone is very simple to use and has a sleek design. The most important is that the phone is charged by either spinning the cell phone around, or by cranking the end of the cell phone. This replaces the method of using batteries on a cell phone with a more eco-friendly item. I, personally, would buy this item because I usually have the problem of my cell phone running low on battery. Thus, with this cell phone, I can recharge my battery by twirling/cranking it and I can do something entertaining at the same time! Therefore, I believe that this product will be a great way for me, and other people, to be more eco-friendly considering the several millions of people that own cell phones.

  1. Do you think this would be very popular in today's society, where people depend on their cell phones for more than just simple telephone conversations? From the image, it looks like it has minimal functions, and that might not be enough to satisfy the demands for multi-function cell phones for the people in our society today, even if it is eco-friendly and energy consuming.
