At first, I was going to analyze and write about smartphones, however I found it more efficient to write also about a particular smartphone to narrow it down from such a broad technological artifact, such as answering who designed it, what for, what their position and the impact they want to have on society was, and their future visions. Therefore, I chose the iPhone as the centerpiece of smartphones I will be analyzing and an emphasis on applications. However, some of this information is relevant and interchangeable to all other smartphones. IPhones and smartphones allow us to access constant information and offer it the way we want it, as it is completely customizable now to fit our learning style.

Imagine sitting in a business meeting, completely focused on the speaker presenting a topic before a group of professionals. Just as the speaker reaches his main point, a familiar “ding! ding!” occurs. Then everyone wonders, who forgot to turn the volume down on their cell phone? As a country, the United States of America favors one form of communication over thousands, even millions; the cellular phone. With the creation of several communication forms, such as tablets, iPods, etc., cell phones remain the prefered technology contact system. Cellular phones, though a rapidly developed technological device as of the 20th century, are the most essential and most used piece of equipment on a daily basis in the life of an average American.

Cell-phones, instant messaging, Facebook, and Snapchat all are technologies that stem from one desire: quick communication. Skype allows United State government officials can host crucial meetings with troops overseas. For the businessman, instant messaging helps him close business deals as soon as possible (Ray).

Throwing away your smartphone and getting a flip phone would be a horrible decision that would put you at many social and worldly disadvantages. Smartphones have many safety measures that will keep you safe in day to life, and if you were ever in danger. Also, smartphones give you many social opportunities that a flip phone couldn’t come close to. Lastly, they have a multitude of useful and fun utilities at your fingertips.

Earlier when phones came out they had few functions, like calling and messaging just what was required. The disadvantages of regular phones were that they did not have constant internet access for information, good camera technology, alarm clock, calculator for math etc smartphones now have multiple functions like accessing information with the help of internet, high quality camera, travel light when no electricity, alarm clock to wake up in the morning, stopwatch to track time, world time, work access from anywhere around the globe, map direction, to do lists, games for children, video calling that is why why smartphones with these features have taken over regular phones.

While cell phones can be very useful, for a growing teen, they may be more harm than good. In her article on teenagers’ use of cell phones, Jean M Twenge points out several of the pros and cons of this new technology. Most of the effects from cell phones revolve around the fact that teens don’t get out of the house as much as previous generations. This trend is because most teens would rather be in their rooms and on their phones. There is no longer a need for a teenager to go see their friends when they can simply shoot them a text. Statistics show that the majority of friendly interactions by today’s teens are through technology. Not only are they beginning to lack social skills in a face to face situation, teenagers are also less likely to get a part-time job then they were ten years ago and it is often encouraged by parents. The main driving factor of this is allowing teens to have more time to do homework and to study, however, statistics have also revealed that today’s teens spend less time on homework than the other generations that came before. Anti-socialism and perhaps laziness are not the only problems with current teenagers. The percentage of depression in teens has increased drastically, and the teen suicide rate has skyrocketed. Cell phones are mostly to blame for the negative affect on teens’ social abilities and damaging their mental and emotional health.

The side color of the cellphone could also be changed into ones favorite color.

Therefore, instead of going to the store and buying a smartphone only based on the fact that it's popular among your friends, read the following lines to find out what you have to consider to make the best choice for your needs.

The effects of technology on society will always be a double edged sword. The debate is a never ending one, in which both sides have valid and compelling arguments. The Industrial Revolution reduced manual labor in the long run, but had negative consequences such as child labor and sweatshop conditions. Nuclear Power reduces the cost of producing energy, but raises serious environmental issues like pollution and radiation. In this day in age refusing to assimilate to at least some form of modern living is simply not an option. One invention causing controversy today that has yet to cease being alter, modified, and “improved” since its debut is the ever present cell phone.

When you walk into AT&T you see all the amazing evolutions from a flip phone to the newest smartphones. To me, the invention of the smartphone is one of the most remarkable gadgets to hit the world in the 21st century! It has made people’s lives so much easier in many different ways. Smartphones can be information at your fingertips, can type way more faster, and smartphones have instagram and apps where you can actually do more than just call or text someone. All of these reasons are why I feel that a smartphone is a way better option than getting a flip phone.
