Introducing the Cell Phone, Introducing A Complete Shift in Communication

Tweet

Times have definitely changed in the last 40-50 years. With new technology, especially new mobile technology, such as smart phones, the very way that our world functions has been changed drastically. How has mobile communication changed the world? Have the changes really been as drastic as they appear to have been? Let us discuss just three things that mobile communication has changed and see for ourselves. The cell phone was introduced to the world in 1973. Of course, back then it was a rare item that only a handful of people, that is to say, upperclassmen, owned. As the years progressed, however, and especially in the early 2000's, it became more accessible. Now, it is rare for the average citizen to not have a mobile phone. There is even a government program that allows low budget and senior citizens to have them for free. Essentially, it has helped to close the gap between classes, becoming an equalizer. The second thing that mobile communication has changed is the use of the post office. With the ability to call and text friends and family, the world has no more use for writing letters It has affected the use of mail so much that in some areas in the US, the post office is even closed on Saturdays. Finally, mobile phones have put film-processing services out of business. Because you can now take pictures with your mobile phone, ensuring great quality, the world really hasn't used cameras anymore. Some don't even know what a one time use camera even is. Remember the one hour photo processing service at Walmart? That is no longer there. It is even rare to find a one time use camera, let alone find a place to get it developed. Yes, mobile communication has definitely made changes to our world, even to the point where businesses no longer exist. However, it has also equipped everyone nationwide with a cell phone. Yes, mobile communication continues to make advances. Will it make even more drastic changes in the future? Only time will tell.
