"Phones" were named after the Greek word for "sound", but modern phones are used in silence as often as not.

There was a time where such multi devices was thought would come from watches, which would be much more telling.

My clumsyness would destroy a high tech watch. My phone is relatively safe in my pocket. Won't be switching over to that.

Now we have snartwatches, but they're much more limited, and often require a Bluetooth connection to a smartphone.
