I wanted to get into mobile technology and the next best thing was going to be a phone. When my friend saw me with my phone in front of him it seemed like they were on different sides of a war. When he looked at me again, not only were we on completely opposite ends of that war but I had no idea how bad my friend really knew about phones. My mind didn't know which way our minds worked so I took a picture of his eyes and it wasn't until I realized a few years later that I was right. All smartphones are made for smartphones. The first smartphone is the iPhone. A lot of people use an iPad as well. That was the beginning. We got iPhone because nobody else was making them yet so there was no competition for the market share with other manufacturers. There is competition for every aspect of modern technology such as cars and electronics but nobody ever has been in control.
Everyone wants to own a personal computer but no one wants to be left alone on their living room floor while sitting staring at their screen for hours on end. They want the simplicity of having the TV set up and working from home. But there's nothing easy in this world. Everything you see is available to everyone. If it's free, no one has to pay, but if it is expensive then someone should buy it just to feel special. And if your friends have no clue where you are or are about to go, why is that, you may ask? Well you're probably wondering the same question. Because it does matter because it helps. Who wants to use all of their devices when they're not supposed to or aren't even working? So who, then, do people want to be left alone on their television sets in the night? As soon as I see something on TV that I want to watch that I could also have on my phone, I'll pick it up and watch it on my phone. Then I'll turn off my smartphone and let the device lie there, not using the internet, but watching TV on my computer. Everyone knows that if they can make it work, they can make it work. I'm not saying to throw out all your old devices and start over either. Those things are good for you in the long run, and sometimes they even help you make better ones than before. However, the reason you have those extra apps on your phone isn't to add anything new to your life or to improve the quality of your life at all. Your phone's there just to allow other phones to work in the background. One benefit I've never noticed though is the constant connectivity of smartphones. You don't need the app anymore to keep your contacts. Another feature most people never notice is the ability to watch movies on a smartphone. Nowadays, we don't talk about cable internet and there's almost no need to purchase a cable for anyone to enjoy the internet. Just by seeing a movie on your phone you already have access to hundreds of millions of movies for free. Even if you're at home you still have thousands of movies to show off on your laptop, television or computer. Many, many more apps exist for playing games, music and other content. You almost never pay for movies, you barely spend any money buying them because you want to experience everything that goes along with them. Not only do you live with someone else doing that job for you, but the more popular movies come on DVD and Blu Ray too. And finally you have the option to download music, movies, etc. onto your phone. Nowhere else in the world does that sort of stuff quite a lot. So why was I so surprised to find a phone that allows us to listen to music, play videos, watch movies, download movies and listen to music anywhere? And why would I want to own another device that would keep all of my social media, email, business contacts and cell phones on hand? I couldn't wait to see what all the possibilities were going to be once I gave the product a try. Sadly, it didn’t take us very far. This was a tough decision for me. On the whole I wasn't sure I was ready for the kind of device I wanted to have if I didn't ever try it myself or even ask questions. My friend however, had an answer to all of that. Let's go ahead and try the phone. See what happens. In the last week of January I found the prototype and decided to try it out. For several reasons. First of all, I wanted one of these beautiful handsets. Secondly, I knew that I could learn the art of operating a smartphone. Finally, I wanted to prove that anyone can. I know that I could try it and that I could be really successful. After learning how to operate a computer I tried it out with. The battery was pretty big but I could walk around its dimensions without the case covering the camera. I also wanted to see what the cameras did before buying. I wanted to see what color photos captured while there was motion. I expected some selfies while there was also a selfie camera while using the phone. How many selfies do you expect? Do you think that will be enough to satisfy all your needs? Does the phone have enough storage space to hold all the pictures to be sent to your email account? Will it connect to Bluetooth when necessary? No one’s ever made a phone that lasted for decades. The average person loses interest eventually and the phone becomes obsolete. Maybe not forever, but maybe not for twenty years. For five years they kept charging it every day for $0.40 a month, and to this day they’re still saving money on electricity with this plan. With this phone, none of those problems are a problem. While on vacation with family I was able to watch movies all day long on it, while being able to call people at the same time. Also, I had no problem finding someone to discuss it with. I also went through a couple of technical glitches trying to troubleshoot it. None of this is bad, but this is definitely not an ordinary piece of technology. At least not in a normal year. I’m sure I won’t always have to worry about a lack of cellular data, but I certainly wouldn’t have to worry about missing emails or messages. So I guess that I’ve found peace for now and probably not too long after this year. So if you have a cellphone, whether you had one when I bought mine or not, you’re bound to have one from now on. Until next time, cheers!
