Sony Ericsson Z550 exists within a futuristic utopia

The year is 2109. After the great war, mankind has evolved a new understanding of peace and unity. This 'Neo Mankind' communicates entirely by cellphone, even when people are standing right next to each other. Probably because they get loads of free minutes.

Sony Ericsson, via the medium of product photography for its Z550, is giving us a glimpse of this fantastic possible future world NOW:



Everyone also wears white and money has been replaced by 'credits'. Food comes out of a machine which you speak into and if you say "chips" some chips come out of it (actually if you say chips crisps come out of it, as it was made in America).




This is what the phone looks like. Sony Ericsson says the Z550 comes in "pearl and copper" by which it means white and orangey brown. The phone's a pretty tame 1.3 megapixel, MP3-playing, tri-band Bluetooth job. Nothing worth getting excited or looking at alternative tarrifs and contracts about.




Hurry up and arrive, The Future! It'll be so much easier talking to girls and getting girlfriends when all human communication is done entirely by text message, eliminating 'nervous stuttering' and self-image issues once and for all.
