How do we use mobile phones?
Nowadays, Mobile phones have extraordinary features and technologies that are constantly evolving. Soon, the only thing we will need to bring with us is just a mobile phone. Mobile phones in the past have only one function – that is to call and receive calls. When compared with the phones we have now, the phones in the past are known to be brick size phones to us. As technologies evolve, more applications or features are added to the phone, causing consumers to want more.
Mobile phones are now embedded with GPS tracking system – allowing us to send information of our locations and post it on the web for all to see. Is this freedom or stalker behaviour as now parents are able to stalk children knowing where they are out and about.
And in Japan, the ‘kawaii’ look is in. Girls accessorize their phones with crystal stuck on beads that define who they are or which group they belong to. So now mobile phones are more than just for communicating purposes, as now they act as an accessory to display to people.
So, is technology slowly controlling us – driving us crazy to the point we are loosing ourselves?
