The Technology of Cellphones

Similar to the light bulb, the cell phone began as a modest product with a modest purpose, and underwent multiple, complex revisions to result in the current models manufactured today. If one examines the cell phone’s impact on our culture, it is evident that it has had both a positive and a negative impact on society. Without a doubt, the largest positive impact has been its ability to make day-to-day life less complicated, and ultimately, easier. Among a never-ending list of examples are: the ability to set reminders for appointments, meetings and important dates, an endless array of how-to and

Phones have dictated our relationships with the world around us. They have isolated us from communication

According to the U.N Telecom Agency there are about 6 billion cell phone subscribers in the world. (“UN says world has 6 billion cell phone subscribers, 2.3 billion Internet users”). With a number this high one must ask whether or not cell phones are more beneficial than they are harmful. Everyone recognizes the benefits of cell phones, but how often does society acknowledge the harms that cell phones induce on the public. The simplicity of communication through the use of cell phones does not outweigh the distractions caused by cell phones, because cell phones create addictions, discourage direct social contact amongst their consumers, and cause deaths.

Campbell and Rich Ling also demonstrate some of the unintended and transformative social consequences resulting from the mobile phone when stating, “social change that come out of the diffusion and use of mobile telephony, including changes in how people coordinate their daily lives, carry out social relations, make private use of public space, etc” (Campbell and Ling 602). Therefore, the mobile phone also contains politics through its power to drastically alter society and subsequently affect political and social relations by not fixing a problem, but creating a new one. For example, a more outright and negative political implication of the mobile phone can be seen in how it has become increasingly exclusive to only certain social groups due to price barriers affecting lower income families as well as poorer and less developed countries. Consequently, the mobile phone has developed characteristic associated with being political through its external consequences in addition to having inherently political

Over the past 20 years, technology has advanced in an almost indescribable way and it is continuing to do so. It has a vast influence on our society and having some type of technological device is becoming a necessity for some people. Cell phones are one of these devices “with everyone from elementary school kids to senior citizens owning at least one. ”(Laura Jerpi)

Telephones have had a very huge impact on the daily lives of people everywhere starting from the 1847. The telephone took years of making and it was a very long process to create it exacly for what it was needed for.

Have you ever wondered what would the world resemble in the event that we didn 't have any cell phones? Why is it that we get out of our comfort zone when we do not have access to our phones? Nowadays, cell phones have such a noteworthy effect on our day to day lives, and we owe it to the advancement of technology. In this research paper, we will take a closer look at this phenomenon by examining the evolution of cell phone devices, and it’s effects on society.

Ever since cellular phones first came to be in the 1980’s, people have been using them to carry out conversations, ask questions, or meet new people. Once cell phones reached a height of internet capabilities, smartphones were created. Cell phones from then on ended up changing society entirely. This research study could explain the effects of cell phones from their creation to today’s society and how they would influence the future generations. 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. Furthermore, this study would be beneficial as a report on how cell phones came to be in our history. This would expectedly heighten the awareness of society to how different our lives could be according to technological development. To the future researchers, this study could be used as a base for data in future development into how society adapts.

The use of cell phone has rapidly become an integral part of our lives and has become the source of economic growth and employment opportunities at the country level (Madden and Savage, 2000 & Sridhar and Varadharajan, 2007). In many countries, mobile phones are often people’s only way of telecommunication (CSR Report, 2003). They are addressing their specific needs and encouraging the use

Since the beginning of the industrial revolution, the world has become a smaller place.
