The cellphone went through evolution to become the smartphone we all carry around today.
It went from that big, bulky thing with a long antenna to a paper thin (well, not really) smart device that has replaced quite a lot of gadgets we used to carry around.
Smartphones are smart, and they are really getting smarter. Artificial Intelligence has made possible what would have looked like a scene from a science fiction movie two decades ago. As much as the evolution of the smartphone has its ugly sides , there’s no doubt it simplified our lives in so many ways.
Without the smartphone, we would still be carrying a lot of gadgets around.
Here are some of the things the smartphone has
almost — or already — killed.

DIGITAL CAMERAS
For professional photographers, the smartphone will never replace a real DSLR camera but for a lot of us amateurs, there’s no need to get a digital camera anymore. OEMs now know the Importance of a great camera on a smartphone and the introduction of features like Optical Image Stabilization keeps improving pictures
taken with smartphones.
Photos taken with smartphones can even be mistaken for DSLR shots.
The smartphone is killing the digital camera market and that’s a fact. People still buy real cameras, but the patronage would be way more
than what it is right now if not for smartphones.


POCKET COMPUTER.
Popularly know as “organizer” in Nigeria years back, this was one of the gadgets we millenials thought was cool. An organizer served as your scientific calculator, reminder, notebook, address book and more.

Calculator
Calculator? Nobody uses them anymore… well,maybe in the classroom. But in real life, traders would rather calculate with their smartphones
and for day-to-day financial audits, a lot of us depend on the calculator app on our smartphones.

Music Player
Remember the popular Sony Walkman? These gadgets are dead thanks to the smartphone. You can literally store thousands of music tracks on
your smartphone. The music app on certain smartphones can fetch lyrics and even download more songs. Why then should anyone think of
getting a portable music player when the smartphone does everything?

HANDHELD GAME CONSOLES.
Well, hardcore gamers will never take this. As a
matter of fact, some of these real gamers
believe mobile gaming sucks, but since a lot of us
are always on the go, gaming on mobile is all we
can do. The smartphone will never replace PSP
and Nintendo DS but trust me, mobile gaming is a
big deal and it has shrunk the portable game
console market.


BEDSIDE ALARM CLOCK.
Everyone used to rely on the bedside alarm clock to wake up every morning but now?
Of course, one can safely assume that maybe one in ten people still use it — old people and those who chose not to use smartphones.

And even more gadgets…
There are many more gadgets the smartphone has replaced and as time goes on and these phones get smarter, more and more gadgets may become extinct.
What other gadget has the smartphone replaced for you?

Chai, the alarm clock reminds me of my brother's friend. He set the alarm to midnight but he has forgotten, when the alarm started, he was so afraid and shouted; "in the name of Jeeesus!" He then realised it was alarm, he was just laughing himself.
