The T-Phone is a concept phone by designer Jeong-Kyun Nam. It features “a standard numeric keypad and one large call button underneath. You get a bunch of RFID tagged badges to program someone’s number and even insert their picture. When grammy wants to call someone, all she has to do is place the badge on the call button and press it. The phone reads the RFID information in the badge and dials the number.” The phone would be helpful to seniors who don’t want to remember nine digits, but I can see it working well with children too, and for those experiencing memory loss from our growing dependence on digital devices.
