Cell Phone Capabilities

The communications technology that is the most significant has to be the improvements in cell phone capabilities. Almost every person has used a cell phone once, and more people are beginning to use them daily for more than just making phone calls. Wireless phones were once just bulky suitcase looking batteries that people lugged around to make short calls. Today, there seems to be an increasing amount of those ceasing the use of landlines. With the improvement in technology cell phones allow people to send instant text messages, browse open source markets to download applications for a plethora of uses such as games, lifestyle, productivity, etc., make customized ringtones, browse the internet, purchase items, make an electronic deposit to your bank account, and the list can go on and on. Now, anything you can do on your laptop or desktop you can do on your cell phone. I feel people should be interested in this technology because it is the future and the direction society is moving towards. You can activate your alarm system to your house or car, order plane tickets or even video chat with someone. The technology is making life, in all aspects, more convenient for people while moving at a fast pace.
