Smart-phones

How smart phones have change the world?
 
 
In this blog i will be telling you about how smart phones have changed the world as it says in the title.

To start with i will be telling you about how they all started. in June 19th, 2007 the very first Iphone was released. this was the beggining of the smart phones. From then on all different companies have been making touch screen modles trying to compete with apple's Iphone. The name Iphone originally came from the company Cisco. When Cisco heard about it they sued them and made a settlement with them asking apple to pay them an amount for every Iphone that was sold.


Now there are lots of companies making smart phones such as Blackberry, Nokia and HTC. All of these being a good sucess but still not as much as the Iphone. Pretty much everyone now has a smart phone. This is ruining society by killing conversations between people when the meet up for a chat. But looking on the plus side it is giving people knowledge on things they never knew before and letting them explore a wider range of things that they want to know. Not only is it a phone anymore, it is a games console, a computer and an application for almost anything. The streets are filled with people with there heads down looking at their phone oblivious to their surroundings making the world a dangerous place and drivers a lot more cautious to what they are doing.
 
People are starting to use their smart phones as business phones. What i mean by this is that even though they are not in work people are still trying to work from ,say, on the train or on the bus. The prices of these smart phones can vary from £150- £700. This is showing how desperate some people are to get the latest tech. Eventually people will start to lose friends from where they are to caught up on their job from their phone that they wont socialise with their friends and family.
 
Are they destroying our lives?
