using the laws of media to look at a cellphone

1. A cell phone enhances the way you hear, the way you communicate, it enhances our ability to get information with the push of a button. It enhances our ability to be distracted.
it can be an extension of our emotions by being able to update them via our phones. cell phones are an extension of our home phonebook. It is an extension of a portable light. It replaced phone operators, and rotary telephones It has taken place of writing a letter.

2. Cell phones replace our need to communicate in person, they replace facial gestures and our ability to make eye contact with people. it allows us to share information with out printing and sending.
They allow you to replace a printed address book because you can just punch it into your cell.

3. with cell phones introducing text messaging and e-mail to phones, retrieve a for of sending a telegram you can write your message or send it my voice.
I don't think that cellphones have knocked any other technology out by themselves yet, but land lines are on their way out the door. I don't think that they will go away interlay unless they attach a fax line to cell phones.

4. I feel that if the cell phone keeps getting pushed that it will soon take over everything. Our thoughts, our functions, our abilities. So far they can already can take pictures connect to the web and allow you to organize your life. I think that it will eventually kill all sorts of human interaction and communication. I feel that if cellphones keep going the way they will be causing a huge problem with human interaction in general. I feel that if the smart phones get any smarter they will take over us.

In conclusion I feel that cell phones are a connivence that is getting harder to live without. They they have taken the world by storm and that they are becoming a very powerful component of everyday life. No matter what type of technology that is introduced to be a helpful convenient part of life. but they they all have serious after effects that no one thinks of until it is to late. When the day comes that my home, office, food, vehicle, and any other thing I can possibly imagine taking with me is put into a simple small cell phone that it will be time to be scared.
