The world has come a long way since Alexander Graham Bell's first
telephone, that's for sure. From the hand crank to rotary dial to push
button the phone has evolved and then evolved again. Even the first
cell phones just a couple of decades ago resemble exhibits in a museum
of ancient inventions compared to the sleek styles of today. Those
early phones were used by the very wealthy or kept in a vehicle for
emergencies only. Who would have imagined that cell phones would
someday become such an essential part of life and used for so much more
than just emergency phone calls?
In fact, phone calls are just a small part of what today's cell phones
are capable of. Text messages, email, Internet access, mp3 music
playing, a built-in camera and even TV can all be accessed with your
cell phone. Some cell phones today even have a complete QWERTY keyboard
and can run many computer programs; in fact you can almost consider
them a mini-laptop computer. Need directions? Just pick up your cell
phone and navigation is at your fingertips. Want to know what movies
are playing and the show times? A 411 operator will give you a quick
rundown and you don't even have to wait on the line listening to the
whole recording (then missing the one you really wanted to hear because
someone interrupts you at that exact moment and you have to listen to
the whole thing again!)
In the case of an emergency cell phones save lives. Whether it is a
traffic accident or you are being attacked on a dark street, your cell
phone can reach emergency personnel and can be used to track your
location. There was even a story of a missing woman who had gone off
the road and was on the side of a cliff for days, her cell phone signal
led to her safe recovery and without it she would never have been
found; at least not alive. Even if your cell phone service is turned
off, your cell phone will still be able to call 911 and get help for
you. That is why you should never throw your old cell phones away; they
can be donated at any police station and be given to victims of
domestic violence to help give them protection.
It is hard to imagine life without cell phones now that they have
become such an integral part of our lives. It is also difficult to
imagine what new features cell phones in the future will have since
they already do so much. Judging from the advancements made so far,
however, you can be sure that the cell phone will continue to evolve
and add value to the user's life. Whether you want to watch the news,
ask your spouse to bring home a loaf of bread on their way home from
work or be protected in dangerous situations your cell phone is on the
job.
Cell phones are obviously the future for technology growth. The only question is, what will be next?
