Smart Phones

Over the past few years, the advancement in cell phone technology has greatly grown. Cell phones started off very basic, with the features of calling and texting. Today the “smart phone” has become an all in one tool that every human being needs at all times.

One of the main smart phones today is the iPhone. With it’s easy to use touch screen interface, you can do almost anything! Surf the net, check your email, and use GPS all while listening to music. You can also download tons of different applications that just make life a little easier. For example, Apple has created an application that gives you a list of all the closest Tim Hortons to your current location; which has saved me the trouble of driving around searching for somewhere to get a coffee. These phones are becoming the new thing that everybody wants.
In an article I read, someone was complaining about how smart phones are allowing adolescents to have too much communication. But isn’t that what a phone is for, to communicate? The smart phones allow us to communicate with multiple people in more ways than one. You can send out an email to someone at anytime you want. You don’t need a computer; the phone already has its own internet connection. These phones are just showing us how much technology has changed, and how much technology has changed us. As humans, we need to communicate and in our society today people have become dependent on their cell phone. It isn’t a bad thing; it is just the way of communication this day in age.

Smart phones were created to benefit us, and they will only become better and better. Check out the Pomegranate phone on this YouTube video. I guarantee that if you had it, you would never put it down.
