Mobile Phone EVOLUTION!

Food for thought, right now imagine you didn't have a mobile/smart/android phone...could you continue your daily life without hassle using other means for communication? Of course you can...its just pretty damn inconvenient!

Mobile phones have become an integral part of our daily life, partly due to its multitude of features that allow a much convenient form of communication. Right now with your smart phone (provided its not the old skool bricks that only allow you to play snake as far as apps are concerned) you could probably check social networking sites, browse the internet, book flights to Kenya and watch the latest episode of your favorite sitcom...all in one device!

Need plane tickets? need Facebook? need to buy illegal immigrants? we got it!

It wasn't always like this however considering the exponential growth in mobile and communication technologies. The first phone was huge and was like a brick, the next few were of the relative same brick model and cars even had in-built phones, IN-BUILT phones! Literally built into the car itself, my god it was considered flashy back then but now it would look like some old turd car wasting space. Just to show the size of phones back I found a nice luxury brick phone model for you viewing pleasure.

The rare and legendary BRICK phone :O

The purpose of mobile phones essentially served two purpose at the time of its conception, convenient communication on the go, as it became commercialized it became a status symbol. Only rich and successful people carried mobile phones in its early days. It must have been cumbersome considering that if it evens fits in your wallet, makes it looks like you got massive quadriceps...on one leg. Despite that flaw it was a marvelous tool that revolutionized communication technologies and would later become a staple part of our daily lives, and to a certain degree an extension of our body, Robocop anyone?

Guns, mobiles,microwave? Got it all in here

Cyborgs eh? Wont be surprising later on if we can somehow build technology into our bodies, though that would later on cause major complications on social, legal and societal levels. What could be considered human, would cyborg be classified under legal law? How does one behave or treat cyborgs? Those are just food for thought of the implications of mobile technology advancing. Despite the improvement of phone models becoming slimmer and more compact and bursting with technological advancements. Has communication improved, or dulled or social senses when interacting face-to-face. In fact I notice it quite often that is quite normal to interrupt talking with someone in front of you to engage in a call with someone miles away! That is absurd considering the person with you right now, like in front of you giving his attention take lower priority then the one who doesn't bother to meet up with you and instead calls.

Its no surprise that mobile phones have brought many new possibilities on different levels affecting our personal lives, however one must take care as the possibilities come with their cons and risks. Communication is incredibly important but remember to value those who have gone out of their way to meet face-to-face, get the priorities right!
