Now for the second:
My Own Experiences- My first mobile phone was given to me for my twelfth birthday in 2006. A prepaid silver Nokia flip phone equipped with nothing less than gangster polyphonic ringtones. It was very small, with simple numbered push buttons and practically unbreakable. The only purpose my nifty device served as, was a calling, texting and game playing tool. Let us compare this to phones today..
I now own a Samsung S2 smart phone. I am on a $50 plan which enables me to sms, call, video call and picture message who ever, whenever I please. No longer 'emergency calls only' devices, these high tech machines primarily enhance our social lives and manage our career lives. These smart phones allow us to roam the internet in virtually any location, provide us with up to date news and weather, navigate and direct us accurately, take pictures and videos with a high megapixel and zoom camera, provide us with a selection of games, books, entertainment and music, and they even account for being a personal diary and schedule. The reason why so many are eager to jump on board the smart phone train is because of one simple reason...EASY. Hundreds of everyday devices and tools compact into the one, fast accessible device which can fit in my pocket. The one downfall to this technology, is that it is extremely vulnerable to damage. It is also proof of the slow elimination of the manual, classic world. The days when cassette players, big notebooks and maps were used are long gone. Which, is not a very comforting thought, but more saddening like a loss.
