Mobile Mania

Mobile phones (smart phones) encompass everyday life, we use it to keep in contact with our friends and family and with current innovations and apps, we use it for news, the weather reports, even for avid gamers.Is this a really a good thing, or are we too dependent on them,it is true that some people are addicted to their smartphone.

Negative sides

Seventy-six percent of people don't leave home without their phone, if they did most would go back for it , does this mean we are slave to our phones?It is true that phones can be somewhat of a nuisance with networks offering you deals via text messages, companies ringing you for surveys, people being able to contact you at any stage and with GPS your location isn't private anymore.People have become some dependent on smartphones, thirty-one percent of people would rather get rid of their TV than have to part with their phone.In this day and age its not unusual to see a group sitting at a table in complete silence tapping away at their phones, tweeting,facebooking etc, smartphones can stunt face to face interaction. It is more so seen with the youth of today it seems more comfortable to be speaking to each other through these tweets and sending images over snapchap.

Positive Sides 

Then on the other side of the coin we have instant communication, we have instance access to information. Shopping online has become more and more popular and easier to do, at least fifty-five percent of smartphone shoppers will make a mobile purchase once a month. This can be due to the fact that we can buy so easily,we can do price comparison with difference stores, research products at any stage.They can also be used for different types of apps and media such as movies,books,music,games.

Avid gamers are on the rise sixteen percent of people use their smartphone for gaming.Candy crush has been one such app that has taken the mobile network by storm and with an average of forty-six million users monthly, who hasn't used it on their phone to pass the time and then become engrossed with it.This has been a huge advantage to business in M-Commerce and they have built up huge markets from these upsides.
Social networking is very big in this day and age for keeping people in contact and business advertising and most smartphones come with Facebook installed on it. This is much handier than having to head back to a desktop or even a laptop, especially considering eighty-six percent of people use their phones for social networking and sixty percent of them use at everyday.
Phones nowadays are like Swiss arm knives they have built in applications like alarms, calenders, calculators,mp3 players etc, somethings that years ago we would have had to carry separately can now all be found on one device, now you may not use all the tool on this "Swiss army phone" but whoever uses all the tools on the knife, I mean the corkscrew wouldn't open anything really, has never worked for me anyway.

Conclusion

Overall the good out-ways the bad. Personally I would find it difficult to function without my HTC, I use its alarm to wake me, I use Facebook to keep in touch, the calender to keep on top of events and play candy crush when i'm bored (and damn am i stuck at the moment).Smart Phones have enhanced the way we communicate, buy goods and work overall.It has become the essential always on item and I can only assume most people would feel the same way.
