LETS TALK ABOUT CELLPHONES

Nowadays the world is running with the new technologies invented. This is because people around the world used this product of technologies to make their life easy and comfortable. One of this is the cellphone.

Cell phone is used as a medium to which people communicate. Either used for personal matters or for something we used to do to easy in touch with other people. Before, the capacity of the cell phone in just for texting and calling but now there were many things you can do in just single gadget. Cell phones now have a radio, video, and camera or even to search on the net without renting a computer on a computer shop. That is how it is useful to humankind.

As time goes by has fastly spreading on the market and as it scatters all around the world, people engage on pursuing to find something new on cell phone, like knowing what are the new units of cell phone. Some of these model are 6600, N-70, N-73 and many more.

Through the use of cell phone people can detect what is the status income of a person. Those who has the newest model are those who can afford to but, meaning they were rich or those who has a good income and those who has old models of cell phone or those who are of lower income level or poor enough to buy cell phone.

The implication of fast spreading of cell phone is that it become the target of the thief and some these cell phones could bring bad effect to the users. Before, snatchers used to get jewelries, money and anything valuable, and cell phone considered as a valuable thing. One cell phone could cost thousand of pesos and it was easy to sell just to lower the price. No wonder, some cell phone factory imitate as many as they can for their poor people who just want to save money as their own cell phone.

It was bad effect on the users because they just keep on buying new cell phones without any considerable reason. They become addict and even in t exiting words are misspelled and so many more.

Cell phone is really used full to the people and the people around this people just use it wisely.

Hell is other people,” Sartre observed, but you need not be a misanthrope or a diminutive French existentialist to have experienced similar feelings during the course of a day. No matter where you live or what you do, in all likelihood you will eventually find yourself participating in that most familiar and exasperating of modern rituals: unwillingly listening to someone else’s cell phone conversation. Like the switchboard operators of times past, we are now all privy to calls being put through, to the details of loved ones contacted, appointments made, arguments aired, and gossip exchanged.

Today, more people have cell phones than fixed telephone lines, both in the United States and internationally. There are more than one billion cell phone users worldwide, and as one wireless industry analyst recently told Slate, “some time between 2010 and 2020, everyone who wants and can afford a cell phone will have one.” Americans spend, on average, about seven hours a month talking on their cell phones. Wireless phones have become such an important part of our everyday lives that in July, the country’s major wireless industry organization featured the following “quick poll” on its website: “If you were stranded on a desert island and could have one thing with you, what would it be?” The choices: “Matches/Lighter,” “Food/Water,” “Another Person,” “Wireless Phone.” The World Health Organization has even launched an “International EMF Project” to study the possible health effects of the electromagnetic fields created by wireless technologies.

Communication Delinquents

The ease of mobile communication does not guarantee positive results for all those who use it, of course, and the list of unintended negative consequences from cell phone use continues to grow. The BBC world service reported in 2001, “senior Islamic figures in Singapore have ruled that Muslim men cannot divorce their wives by sending text messages over their mobile phones.” (Muslims can divorce their wives by saying the word “talaq,” which means “I divorce you,” three times). Concerns about the dangers of cell phone use while driving have dominated public discussion of cell phone risks. A 2001 study by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimated that “54 percent of drivers ‘usually’ have some type of wireless phone in their vehicle with them” and that this translates into approximately 600,000 drivers “actively using cell phones at any one time” on the road. Women and drivers in the suburbs were found to talk and drive more often, and “the highest national use rates were observed for drivers of vans and sport utility vehicles.” New York, New Jersey, and Washington, D.C. all require drivers touse hands-free technology (headsets or speakerphones) when talking on the cell.
Cell phones can also play host to viruses, real and virtual. A 2003 study presented at the American Society for Microbiology’s conference on infectious disease found that twelve percent of the cell phones used by medical personnel in an Israeli hospital were contaminated with bacteria. (Another recent cell phone-related health research result, purporting a link between cell phone use and decreased sperm counts, has been deemed inconclusive.) The first computer virus specifically targeting cell phones was found in lateJune. As The Guardian reported recently, anti-virus manufacturers believe that “the mobile phone now mirrors how the Net has developed over the past two or three years—blighted with viruses as people got faster connections and downloaded more information.”

Spectator Sport

We know that the reasons people give for owning cell phones are largely practical—convenience and safety. But the reason we answer them whenever they ring is a question better left to sociology and psychology. In works such as Behavior in Public Spaces, Relations in Public, and Interaction Ritual, the great sociologist Erving Goffman mapped the myriad possibilities of human interaction in social space, and his observations take on a new relevance in our cell phone world. Crucial to Goffman’s analysis was the notion that in social situations where strangers must interact, “the individual is obliged to ‘come into play’ upon entering the situation and to stay ‘in play’ while in the situation.” Failure to demonstrate this presence sends a clear message to others of one’s hostility or disrespect for the social gathering. It effectively turns them into “non-persons.” Like the piqued lover who rebuffs her partner’s attempt to caress her, the person who removes himself from the social situation is sending a clear message to those around him: I don’t need you.
