As the world transitions further into the age of communication, we begin to see improvements every so often on cell phones. In 1996, the idea of a finger phone developed and now the Telco NTT DoCoMo, a Japanese company, is working on just that. It is exactly what it sounds like: a phone on your finger. It fits like a ring, on the index finger and when you would like to call someone you simply stick your finger in your ear. You will also be wearing a watch so that when you do call, the it converts the sounds into vibrations that are sent through the bones up to your finger.
