This study would also focus on the evolution of how cell phones become even more involved in our lives and how they truly influence us. This study would be beneficial to our generation by teaching them how technology is expanding, and the lives of humans will get easier as time goes on.

Technology has advanced at a rapid rate over the past decade. We can now do things on the go, including social networking, shop, check email, not to mention, make a call. As technology develops, electronics get smaller and smaller. Over 10 years ago, cell phones were the size of (if not larger than) cordless house phones. We would only see them being carried by business men or lawyers. Now there are 8 year olds with blackberry’s.

In comparison, the Russian culture values the durability and reliability of the phone. Understandably, these qualities are important due to the economy and lower income of the consumers. In recent years, the economy has begun to grow, so the increase in income places a higher

The Social Construction of Technology (or SCOT) is a new research tradition rooted in the sociology of technology. SCOT provides a multi-directional model based on the property of interpretative flexibility, and emphasizes on social influences on the technology design and development. This paper will apply SCOT principles to explore the development of cell phone, define the development of cell phone into three different stages historically, and analyze the interpretative flexibility of the cell phone accordingly in the three different stages. Based on SCOT theory, this paper will discuss how the original huge cell phones are shaped and developed by social influences to the smartphones in today’s life.

That’s by Design” in which she illustrated that the app for Instagram created by Greg Hochmuth contributed to a “network effect” (2015: 1).

The app for Instagram, like the tamagotchi, emphasized convenience as the tamagotchi could easily accompany one due to its small size and the app could be accessed by anyone possesing a cell phone or access to an electronic device (Allison 2006: 164). Also, the app and tamagotchi continued to help eliminate cultural

Food and water are the top two important necessities in Russia, while cell phones come in third place (Kolesnikova, 2017). Although Russians have a low income, between 60 to 80 percent own a cell phone (Solomon, 2011). Rather than Americans need to have the latest style, shape, size, and upgrade as soon as they are able to. Russians, on the other hand, prefer their cell phone to be durable and reliable. The differences between cultures can be seen in the products that the average Russian purchases. An example would be over 90 percent of Russians prefer text messaging rather than talking on the phone, including teachers communicating to parents

Americans justify their wastefulness by keeping up with the latest fad. People typically discard things that no longer have the same value as it once did. A perfect example of this, are cellular telephones. In the early and mid-2000’s, cellular telephones became a part of America’s everyday life. Cellular telephones are no longer a want
