From the National Institute of Design, India comes a mobile phones with just three buttons and the user can receive or make calls from the three pre-assigned numbers, it looks like a crude version of the Firefly mobile as it also lacks a display. The Mini Mobile is targetted at the elderly as they find it difficult to use the advanced handsets available now a days. This can be used in schools also as Indian schools have banned mobile phones after a MMS scandal and without a display there can be no MMS or SMS. The mini Mobile has no SIM card and has to be networked to a main mobile phone which prevents misuse in case it is stolen. With 80% of mobile users only using 20% of the features there is no need to cram many features says the designer.

"It is contextual use of technology. User-friendliness made me design this mini mobile," says Vyas - Principal Designer, National Institute of Design. Vyas' invention simply cuts off the scope of abuse of the cellular technology, yet it more than serves the purpose of a mobile phone - to remain connected.
