Is it Possible for You to Do Without Your Cellphone?

By Jesper Karstensen

Okay, that might be a little bit of an overstatement but really, a lot of people just cant go through their days without having their useful and trustworthy cellphones close by. How many people do you know who get all worked-up and listless for the simple reason that they left their trusty cellphones at home? They get alarmed, they feel perturbed and their day is just basically ruined because their mobile phones are not nearby.

This kind of affliction " if you can call it that " affects a lot of people from across the globe, regardless of age, sex, culture or those belonging to any other demographic profile.

Before there were cellphones, there were pagers; before there were pagers, there were just the usual phones; and before there were phones, people communicated through telegraph and letters sent by post.

The most important benefit of cellular phones of course is that they have made communications anywhere in the world so easy that no matter the distance, people somehow managed to stay in touch " keeping updated with the latest events and basically just being in the loop.

Before there were cellphones, people had to wait for days, even weeks to trade news via snail mail. Sure, one can always make a call but if the person is thousands of miles away; long distance phone calls can be pretty costly.

Thanks to the cellphone technology, people get to exchange messages no matter how far apart they are from one another via SMS or Short Messaging System/Short Message Service " text messaging in more popular terms.

Today however, cellphones have gone far beyond text messaging and phone calls. One after the other, special features have been included to the regular cellphone in order to provide more services to the subscribers.

From calls and SMS, camera features were included and then music players followed; internet capability soon followed suit; wireless internet connection came after; and then online chatting; sending and receiving emails plus other internet applications were all thrown in for good measure.

As if that wasnt enough, people can now also watch their favorite videos and movies; and also watch their favorite television shows. Suffice it to say, cellular phones have evolved from simple communications gadgets to total entertainment packages in a small and very compact portable box.
