Can You Do Without Your Cellphone?
Okay, that might be just a bit of an exaggeration but really, many people just cant go through their days without having their useful and trusty cellphones close by. How many people do you know who get all agitated and restless for the simple reason that they forgot their trusty cellphones at home? They panic, they feel perturbed and their day is just basically ruined because their mobile phones are nowhere near them.
This kind of burden ” if you can call it that ” affects a majority of people from all over the world, regardless of age, sex, culture or those belonging to any other demographic profile.
Before there were cellphones, there were beepers; before there were beepers, there were just the usual telephone lines; and before there were telephone lines, people communicated through telegrams and letters sent by post.
The most important benefit of cellular phones of course is that they have made communications anywhere in the world so easy that no matter the distance, people somehow managed to stay in touch ” keeping updated with the latest events and basically just being in the loop.
Before cellphones came, people had to wait for days, even weeks to trade news via snail mail. Sure, one can always make a call but if the person is thousands of miles away; long distance phone calls can be pretty expensive.
Thanks to the cellphone technology, people get to exchange messages no matter how far apart they are from one another via SMS or Short Messaging System/Short Message Service ” text messaging in more popular terms.
Nowadays however, cellphones have gone far beyond text messaging and phone calls. One by one, special features have been added to the regular cellular phone to be able to provide more services to the subscribers.
From calls and SMS, camera features were added and then music players followed; internet capability soon followed suit; Wi-Fi came after; and then online chatting; sending and receiving emails plus other online applications were all thrown in for good measure.
As if that wasnt enough, you can now also watch their favorite videos and movies; and also watch their favorite TV shows. Suffice it to say, cellphones have evolved from mere communications gadgets to total entertainment packages in a small and very compact portable box.
