Mobility
If we think of mobility, the first things which pop up in our minds are probably cars, trains, plains etc. but on second though we probably involve also our mobile phone. This is actually pretty odd, because phones and computers don’t make us move a bit. Although, we just don’t feel mobile without one of them! This is a good example which shows us pretty well how much we depend on these technical advantages without even noticing it.It is also very interesting to see how fast mobile phones improved during the last decade.Today’s cell phones are incomparable with those, ten years ago. It is not only the look that has changed dramatically, but also the features. If you take a look at a cell phone from 1995 you will probably only find features like SMS (short message service) and the calling function on it, while today’s phones are more comparable to a small computer. Even though, the phones are becoming smaller,they are getting more technically advanced; High resolution mega pixel camera, internet, MP3 player and instant messenger are not any longer a uncommon. Furthermore, the memory capacity has become even larger!
The look is important!
It is significant that for most people not just the features of their phones are essential but also the design. Mobile phones are now considered “fashion items”! Everybody wants to have the latest phones, with the coolest designs and features on it! Even the jewelry industry has recognized this and therefore they create for example cell phones, decorated with hundreds of swarovsky crystals .
However, one should not ignore the radiance which can cause health problems! This is extremely important when it comes to very young children using cell phones. Unfortunately most parents are not aware of that risk and still buy their kids regular phones. The industry has recognized this problem and has been activly updating their phones while proofing for radiation. There are even special “kid phones” on the market which do not endanger children’s health at all. Often, those mobile phones are very simplified and have mostly just a couple of buttons on it. The child is only able to dial the most important phone numbers ( mommy, daddy, grandma, best friend ).
Even though cell phones can cause health problems, they have become our constant companions and we have turned out as their loyal buyers!
