Are We Becoming A Society Glued To Our Cell Phones?
In todays world of telephone technology and endless possibilities, internet cell phones are becoming increasingly popular in everyday society. More and more people are becoming accustomed to living with their cell phones tightly fastened to their hips, only inches away from a dial and a click. Children as young as nine can be seen on playgrounds or school halls using their BalckBerrys or Motorola telephones. Text messaging has even become a new way of talking in American homes.
Gone are the days when old-fashion, wired, wall telephones were a part of our everyday lives. No more slow dialing or rotary calling. The old-fashioned telephone has been replaced with PDAs, BlackBerrys, Motorola phones and even iPhones. Cell phone emails and instant text messaging are becoming all too common. The inevitable expansion of telephony technology has become a hot commodity in the business world. With its vast improvements in telephone conferencing, businesses are now opting for virtual technology to conduct their meetings. Using Polycom or Konftel conference room phones is their first choice. Face to face meetings have been replaced with web cams, Polycom phones and Cisco telephones.
Top telephony vendors, such as, Grandstream, Polycom or even Cisco have all come out with their latest VOIP phones, each promising clear communication and noise cancellation. These telephony giants have all made their mark in technological advances in the telecommunications world. The seamless integration of the telephone systems and networks is but one example of how Cisco, Grandstream, Polycom and even Dialogic have all made vast improvements in this world.
Whether its your iPhone, wireless cell phone or Apple Touchscreen, the latest fads in telephony technology have only shown that cell phone usage has become as innate and second nature to us as breathing air. Cell phones have become as popular as high definition televisions, computer laptops and even MP3 players. Which is why, its no surprise that cell phones now come in various packages and deals.
You can email a parent or even text message a friend. You can browse the internet or even pay a bill online – all from the touchscreen of your cell phone. Telecommunication cell phone carriers, such as, Verizon, Sprint and AT&T are all scrambling to offer consumers great deals.
Purchases of BlackBerrys, Motorola phones or even Apple iPhones are not restricted by age or by wage. Someone who makes a modest income can easily afford the modern conveniences of a cell phone. Telephony carriers are offering their bundle packages on text messaging as a means of family gatherings. Children from an early age are being taught to text message their parents in cases of emergencies. Teenagers are waiting in anticipation for the latest telephony fads, especially when it comes to ipods, iPads, Touchscreens, iApps and iPhones.
Whatever the reason, its obvious that we as a society are becoming more dependent on our cell phones. They have become a part of our every day lives. We have become a society incapable of living in a text free world.
