Pros of Cell Phones
Cell phones have changed our lives and how we function everyday for the good and the bad.
Pros: The good things that have come from cell phones:
• They are convenient. We can bring it everywhere, have access to our contacts and can be reached by others anytime. They make the world smaller, bringing people together no matter where they are. For example, this weekend, we were out and posted it to Facebook. Our friends saw we were close by so we met up with them. Cell phones also allow you to send and read emails, bring work with you, allowing you to be productive even away from the computer.
• They provide easy access to information including the internet, personal notes and information that may be stored in your phone. If you have a question about something and have internet access on your cell, you can search for an answer instantly without using the computer, reading a book or going to the library .
• They offer a sort of safety net. If you're lost, your car breaks down, you get into an accident or any kind of trouble then you can make a call to get help.
• They have a GPS system to give you directions anytime. It's not necessary to have directions before leaving the house , asking a stranger for directions or owning a separate navigation system.
• Pictures can be taken instantly, sent out and deleted, often times saving time and paper. You can capture that cute or funny shot of your baby or a celebrity you spotted while out. The phone camera can document what area you parked in at the crowded theme park lot, work schedule and copy class notes without wasting paper or writing it down. It lets you take a picture of an item of interest to you that you want to remember from the store. You can send the photo instantly or save it in your phone.
• You can record videos of anything, anytime, send it out and save it.
• They provide the weather, date and time so no problem if you don't wear a watch.
• You can use the cell phone as an alarm clock.
• You can show coupons and vouchers that can be scanned from your phone so you don't need to always carry around the paper coupons which saves paper, ink and time.
• There's a variety of apps and games available. Play a game while waiting at the doctor's office. There's an app for almost everything like an app that lets you place a pizza order, one to count the calories from eating the pizza and another to tell you how many steps you need to take to walk off those calories.
• You can send and receive text messages. Text is useful when you don't have much time to talk or can't talk like if you're at a loud place and wouldn't be able to hear well or a quiet place and you don't want to let people hear your conversation. Or it's useful if you just don't feel like talking.
