Apple products are original electronics that are very trendy. I can honestly say my iPhone has changed my life. I’m unsure what I did before I had it. How did I used to read e-mail? I think I used to have to delete text messages when my memory was too full on my old phone.
I don’t think very many people remember what they did before their smart phones. They are devices that can act as a conveyance between bank accounts, they can play any game they desire on them, and can also do work on them. They are a balance of work and play in the palm of our hand. Netflix can now be streamed through phones as well. Well never be bored again.
These smart phones employ everything that is trendy and popular today. We have already established movies, but social networking is a trend we see that enables people to share information, ideas and thoughts. Two popular social networking sites that are very popular are Twitter and Facebook. Twitter is updated via cell phone as well as Facebook which allows instant publication of a persons thoughts, feelings, location and whatever else they feel they want to share with their online community. Professional sports scores, are also something we may use applications to check on a phone, and many applications allow us to interact such as blogging or fan chat.
YouTube videos are in a way a social networking site as well. Anybody can post a video on YouTube can post a video and it can become a sensation far away from its origination. A YouTube video that is quite popular now, called “Huntsville Intruder” (a hilarious video, watch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzNhaLUT520) caught on and he now had several iPhone apps featuring himself.
Text messaging is perhaps the most addicting aspect of cell phone use. It is more accessible than making a call. Texting can be done in complete silence. It has rapidly caught on and many people prefer texting over talking to people.
A few texting statistics…

Many people view their cell phone as their key to their world. It involves media, leisure, communication and many other aspects of what is now part of our daily life together to one device. This device is a persons life. Cell phones were created for convenience, but they have evolved into something more. They are a way to manage everything in a persons life. So, in a way, the creators of the cell phone have achieved their goal, but what exactly has that goal come to? The convenience is always going to be there, but some view it as a distraction today.
