Google's New Project Could Be a Game Changer

Google wants make modifying your smartphone as easy as rearranging Lego blocks.

That's the premise of Project Ara, a plan to make phones with parts that can be easily snapped on and off, allowing for an unprecedented level of customization. Google first unveiled the concept roughly two years ago. After a series of fits and starts, Google is now promising that consumers will be able to buy the first Ara phone sometime next year.
