Mobile Phones

What was it like before the mobile phone, could you go back?

Have you left your house recently without your mobile phone? Do you get that panicked feeling at being without your lifeline to the world? As I hopped in my car the other day without my mobile, I thought I would just be gone for an hour or so  and therefore I really didn’t need to go back to the house and get it. It turned out to be true, but as I drove down the street I started to get a worried feeling in the pit of my stomach. What will I do if the car breaks down? What if someone really needs to get hold of me? What if there is a really great sale on at the shop, how will I tell my friends?

It has become increasingly obvious that today’s mobile phone user can’t go for too long without their favourite gadget. The complete and total saturation into the consumer market of the mobile phone has been one of the most astounding that has ever been witnessed. Watch the people as they go about their daily lives, a good 60% if not more of them have their mobile plastered to their ears. Walk through a store or in a coffee shop you will find that most of the customers are busily talking to someone else while they are trying to conduct business with the shopkeepers and waiting staff. What did we ever do before we were able to contact anyone we wanted anywhere we wanted?

As much as people complain about their use in cars and while standing at the checkout in the store, the mobile phone is really a wonderful device. Many people stated that their purpose in getting their first mobile phone was for emergencies. While they may have been just giving a good excuse for buying the irresistible device, the reason is actually a very valid one. Not only are you connected to everyone you know at a moments notice, but you are also able to connect to emergency services in the event something happens. And not only that but there have been instances of bystanders using a mobile phone to call for help for another person. That is the really great benefit of mobile phones.

So the question remains, what did we do before mobile phones? Well, I guess we broke down in our cars and walked to a pay phone, or we found the great sale at the shop and had to wait till we got home to tell our friends. We managed to get through life without them. But now that they’re here, who wants to?
