An Amazing Invention

Not many years ago, cell phones were the size of a brick and they were only used to make occasional calls, but today, you can get a cell phone the size of a match box which can do a whole lot more than just a phone call. Many cell phones are doing more than what they were initially designed to do, in addition to being communication devices, cell phones have become digital cameras and entertainment devices. They have long become a symbol of status as well as a fashion statement. People want phones that look better than theirs friends’ phones and phones that have more and better features. Cell phones have become something more than what most of us though it would turn out to be. It has become our phone book, we are able to store as many numbers as we possibly can, we can also put or contacts into different groups like family, friends or work. The camera has enabled us to save images for caller identity-now whenever a person calls, you know who they are not just because their name appears on the screen but their photo does as well. Cell phones have become our daily planner. We are able to access the calendar, mark important dates and times, set alarms and have reminders for those important things we need to do. Our cell phones have become our entertainment, we can listen to music which we have downloaded, listen to the radio and also play games whenever we want. But I must say, one of the most important features of cell phones would have to be internet access. Having the internet on my phone has made life so much easier. From Mxit to internet banking-can life get any better?
