Project Ara the savior

When Google sold Motorola to Lenovo, few engineers at Motorola stepped back to work for Google. Then those nerds started working under a project named 'Project Ara' in Google. This is a amazing project which aims to provide internet connection to those unfortunate earthlings who are not able to own a smart phone due to economic constraints. I called the project a savior because this not only aims to provide internet to 5 billion unfortunates but to a person who is tired to changing smartphones every year. This is possible by creating a endo skeleton which has many slots with magnet in it and those slots can be filled by chips for example one slot for camera next for processor and so on and the magnets just hold the chips in the required position so that it does not slides away. The benefit we get from this concept is we can upgrade the component that we want to for example I just want to upgrade my phones camera to higher megapixel, a present smartphone cannot but with this project we can. So with this project we need not to change our entire phone for at least next five years. This can be compared to a pc in which we can upgrade the components that we want to and the best thing these smart phones costs less and its very economical as it is priced above the crossover point. So its a revolution in smartphone technology and now we will be able to get third party hardware developers which now no more require the specification from the core companies who make smartphones like htc apple etc etc. Like software we will get hardware too ie highly customizable. There are few issues with this smartphones like its quiet heavy and sort of distorted. But the project member say its gone be even great next year because now the project is under development stage and still the mdk (module development kit) is not open to the developers. So lets hope that this project serves it purpose.
