I have no idea why you would want something like this but, thanks to the big brains at MIT, we may soon have self-assembling phones.

So they are going to use a bunch of old school driers to replace children in China?

As long as they're allowed to evolve a bit first.This is like the theory where an infinite number of chimps with infinite number of typewriters will write every literary piece ever created and ever will be created.
Only replace chimps and typewriters with spindryers and phone components.
"They pressed a lot of S's," researcher Mike Phillips said Friday. "Obviously, English isn't their first language."
A group of faculty and students in the university's media program left a computer in the monkey enclosure at Paignton Zoo in southwest England, home to six Sulawesi crested macaques. Then, they waited.
At first, said Phillips, "the lead male got a stone and started bashing the hell out of it.
"Another thing they were interested in was in defecating and urinating all over the keyboard," added Phillips, who runs the university's Institute of Digital Arts and Technologies.
Eventually, monkeys Elmo, Gum, Heather, Holly, Mistletoe and Rowan produced five pages of text, composed primarily of the letter S. Later, the letters A, J, L and M crept in.
It's a thought experiment. The definition of infinity allows for everything to be in there. That's the way infinity is.As long as they're allowed to evolve a bit first.
