Mobile phone's have a great impact on our lives. We probably talk on the mobile at least once a day if not more. Technological advances that have happened in the past few years in the Mobile industry is remarkable, from just talking with each other all the way to talking to each other face to face. I have been buying and selling mobile phones just for the fun of having a better phone than the one I had last week; and I'm from Kuwait! You would think that such a small country would not be very technologically advanced but, I guess it is because of the oil. Anyways, I was sitting in the Cafeteria the other day and I took out my phone, just to check my email, for free!!! Can you believe that! A few years ago, if I said that then, I would be pushing it. But look at your reaction right now. It's an everyday thing, because you were eased into the idea of having internet on your phone. First it started with just talking then they added color screens, then they added a small resolution camera, then Bluetooth, then wireless. Now we are at a point where some mobile phones have cameras that have higher resolution than most digital cameras. Using camera phones to take pictures is so easy, because you don't think about all the hard work that was put into that phone. You just know that you want to save this picture and upload it onto your Facebook account. Another example of how people with camera phones can become reporters; On the day of the 7/7 bombings in london there were videos that were uploaded on Youtube. A person was there when is happened and took out his phone and choose to be a reporter for the BBC news. Another example is how we can capture celebrities out of their role. You could be walk in Beverly hills and you see a famous rock star that you love, or a famous actor that you admire. To tell your friends and prove to them that you actually saw that person, what is the first thing that comes to your mind if you have a high powered camera/phone in your left pocket? Exactly what I thought, USE THE CAMERA!!!. I use my camera phone to see my family back at home and they are half way around the world, and I talk with them as if they are sitting right next to me. The world is getting smaller at every technological turn we take.
Do you agree that having a cell phone increases the idea of how anyone can be at liberty to do what ever they want?
If so please explain.
What would life be without that kind of technology?
How would the world be affected if that kind of mobile phone technology suddenly taken away?
