Default Importance Of Cell Phones In Modern Society

Hi

When cell phones were first introduced to the public, they were bulky, expensive, and some even required a base unit that had to be transported along with the phone. Good reception was a major problem and in general, early cell phones could only be used in certain locations were the signal was particularly strong. As cell phone technology advanced, the difficult in using them became less of a problem. Today, cell phone reception has improved greatly due to the use of satellites and wireless services. As cell phones improved and became simple to use, the importance of cell phones increased accordingly.

Cell phones are the perfect way to stay connected with others and provide the user with a sense of security
. In the event of emergency, having a cell phone can allow help to reach you quickly and could possibly save lives. However, the importance of cell phones goes way beyond personal safety. Modern cell phones are capable of internet access, sending and receiving photos and files, and some cell phones are equipped with GPS technology, allowing for use in most locations around the world and allowing the cell phone to be found or the user located in the event of loss or emergency.

Keep sharing and reading
Thanks

i disagree. getting rid of my cellphone was the best thing i ever did.

i remember telling people i would not buy another phone till they had color screens and camera's, and they laughed at me.

i've since changed my mind. i'm hard to get a hold of, and i like it that way.

while it is true i could have one and not answer it, that just seems to piss people off. i see people around me annoyed by the little box that rings every time they sit down for dinner. not me, i giggle and continue eating. i can always tell when the lady driving in front of me is on her phone, by her inability to drive a constant speed. my friend got a $500 ticket for talking on the phone in a construction zone the other day, he was sitting at a red light doing nothing wrong. did you know if you were waiting to pull out of a parking lot i would let you in? well, unless you were on your cellphone. then i figure you arent paying attention, so i just go. how about when you're standing there talking to your buddy and his girlfriend calls? yup, stuck standing there with your thumb in your butt for ten minutes. what i reeeeealy dont miss is the bill. i mean, it's like i payed it yesterday, and today i get another one. they do not provide a sense of security, they provide a *false* sense of security, they make you more likely to not notice me walking up behind you with a gun, more likely to not notice the little old lady driving straight at you, your phone doesnt help you in a fight, and it can't change a tire. they can send pictures and access the internet, but are you that addicted to the internet where you could happily sit there and get your fix on a two inch screen? i find 8.9" netbook screens intolerable after a short amount of time
