MOBILE PHONES

Telephones have been part of our world since early last century, changing the way that both government and private enterprise take place business, and becoming indispensable to private citizens as well.

Perhaps the fastest and most important change to way we use telephones has been the introduction of the mobile telephone. The early mobile phones were first installed in cars and other transport and were unwieldy, unreliable and expensive to use. The first hand held models were the size of small bricks, and while considered to be the cutting edge of technology in the 1980’s, would look laughable today.

Not only have mobile handsets become increasingly small and light, their popularity has created a culture in itself. No longer just a tool to make or receive telephone calls, mobile phones now include wide-ranging technology and can perform tasks such as taking photos, sending emails, storing information, and providing entertainment on the go, in the form of games, music and video.

For many, having the latest mobile phone is not just a matter of convenience, but a fashion statement. Colour, style, ring-tone and features are all important for youth and even primary aged children. Parents are also targeted by marketing campaigns which would have us believe that not to provide your child with a phone is to allow him or her to be the victim of crime or circumstance without the means to call for rescue.

Mobiles are almost universally used throughout the world, and in many countries with less developed infrastructures have become the standard means of communication, replacing even the household landline.
