Intro [Eugene]
Smart Phones are defined to be enhanced mobile phones that perform functionalities other than the typical phone.
These enhanced features can be anything from email and internet to a full keyboard.
The definition of “smart “ keeps changing as more and more new functions are introduced to mobile phones.
Societal Impact [My]
Keeps you organized- functions as a personal diary, electronic organizer, has automatic reminders, and a contact list
Faster communication- you can stay connected to the internet more often, easier to send emails and chat with friends
Information at your fingertips via internet- faster connection to the internet, you can get news coverage, weather conditions, and so much more
Innovative way of taking notes- with the qwerty keyboard, you can take notes as fast as you normally type on a computer
Better way of sharing information- transfer files to friends while online, or transfer files to friends via email
Criticism [Julia]
Cumbersome- a bit bigger than most regular phones that serves the same function of communication
Hard to use- although the keyboard is very useful, it also takes a while to get use to using it; the navigations on the phone are also difficult to use at first
Fragile- if compared to a regular phone, smart phones are less durable, and if dropped, they are more likely to be damaged
No third party installable applications- specifically the iphone
