Cell phones are all around us. We use cell phones to call our friends, send text messages, play games, and even take photographs. Now imagine using your cell phone to call your air conditioner. If this were possible, you could tell your air conditioner to turn on before you got home. Does this sound impossible to you? Well, it could become possible sooner than you think. In the near future, we might use cell phones as remote controls for the electrical devices in our homes.      People are already working to develop different ways to communicate wirelessly with devices we use every day.
