From text messaging to life saving; from keep in contact with the kids to conducting business on the run; the cell phone has come a long way since Dr. Martin Cooper made that first call on a phone that none of us would own today!

Cell Phones... Technology.... Conclusion
As slow as the progression of cell phones was in the beginning, their rapid growth once they made their way into society with affordability and convenience, proved there was clearly no way of stopping their continuous progression. I believe that everyone would agree that with the cell phone came a love hate relationship. We are dependent on them; we love the convenience they provide for us. However, at the same time, we hate them for binding us to a continuous connection that at times we would prefer not to have and an interruption of our face to face lives that will forever be changed due to the little component that we are tire sly bound to. Do they interfere with our lives? Yes, they do. However, would we give them up, to re-gain that one on one connection of face to face time that is constantly interrupted by them? No. Cell phones are an essential component of communication that we, as a society have come to enjoy and depend on and that in itself is enough for me to conclude that they are here to stay and grow and develop; to make our lives even easier and to connect us in ways we have yet to imagine!

I agree with your post! It definitely is a love-hate relationship. I try to not rely on my cell phone as much, but my cell phone lets me read my emails and communicate with people with a touch of a button. Cell phones have become so much more than communicating (we learned through this class)-people pay bills, run businesses, and shop through their cell phones. The cell phone is definitely a technological innovation many of us could not live without!
