There is no escaping for girlfriends, boyfriends, mums, dads, children or even employer’s with people now living their lives around their mobile phone. Parents are able to find out where their children are on any day at any time, girlfriends are able to track their partners, and there are more interactive games, apps etc then ever before!…but are mobile phones going to become the new dominant screen of the 21st century?
I hate to say it but I do believe yes, mobile phones are now apart of our everyday lives, we interact with them on an uncountable basis whether it’s for work or pure pleasure we tend to turn to our mobile phone during needy times. The mobile phone world has grown so much since I was a child, what ever happened to the Brick? The massive phone with the tiny tiny screen and a HUGE antenna? They never became faulty, would never freeze, and you could drop it as many times as you wanted and it would remain perfectly fine. Now we are faced with choosing out of hundreds of different types of phones, from small to large to touch screen to buttons, to flip-top to slide… we spend so long picking out our new phone its ridiculous!

Kids at the age of 5 are now utilising mobile phones, do they even need a phone? Probably not but it’s a great excuse for attached mums to contact them every 5 seconds of the day making sure they are ok, or did they like there lunch or do they want to be picked up or the major question ARE YOU HOME FOR DINNER?... seriously why not just put them on a leash instead?
What ever happened to 5-year-old kids playing with Barbie dolls or eating worms in the back yard? So yes mobiles are taking over lives whether we like it or not, we are not living our lives around mobiles, mobiles are living it around us!.
With the new craze I-phone 4 people now have access to email, sms, calling, facebook, twitter, heyTEL!, A MILLION applications and many many more which is all compacted into one touch screen phone. People lined up for days camping out the front of Apple stores to be one of the first to purchase this new technology, now I find this a bit extreme as I personally just waited a few weeks later to walk into the store and buy it but each to their own! This phone has changed peoples lives, it have made peoples decision easier when walking into their phone store to chose what their next phone will be!
Peoples phones are now taken everywhere with them even the toilet! People including myself feel quite naked without them and worried when we accidently leave it at home ( I hope that’s just not me :S ) as they are no longer connected to friends and family through sms, facebook etc. Phones could almost be called someone’s child, baby, or best friend, as its not who we are to not live without them!
