The Modern Day Revolution







American society utilizes many different gadgets and high tech toys. From the I-pod to the GPS, we love our gadgets. One gadget is still used more than anything else and has become maybe the most popular American artifact that has ever swept the earth. The cell phone has literally taken over the way people run their lives. Statistics show that in the year 2011 about 42.8 million dollars were spent alone on the purchase of mobile phones. About two hundred trillion text messages are sent each day, and five billion apps are downloaded every year. The American society may not realize it, but the cell phone is shaping who we are, what we do, and how we act.
                One phone in particular has revolutionized the cell phone as we know it. The iPhone 4 is now the most common phone to own or want to own in the United States. After three days of sells apple sold 1.7 million iPhone 4’s, and sales are expected to reach over 10 million by December. It really is amazing what such a little device can do. Things that are possible today were only a dream twenty years ago. With the new iPhone 4 it is now possible to chat face to face, multitask, record in high definition, and search the web for anything I desire. So why is the iPhone 4 such a desirable phone to have? The human race is progressing faster than it ever has before. We are making advances so fast that it is impossible for any one person to keep up with it all. Because technology is advancing people feel inclined to have the newest most innovative gadgets that will serve them. The iPhone 4 is just the right gadget that will allow just about anyone to own the newest innovation.
                But what effects dose the iPhone 4 have on society, and what will the outcomes be from these factors? I have noticed that the iPhone 4 is so innovative that it may have positive and negative effects. First, with all the apps that are possible to download it can be a real time saver or time waster. Many times people will just sit and be idle while playing the latest game on their iPhone 4, but on the other hand people will utilize the apps to their benefit. My friend owns the iPhone 4 and uses it for his work. He can check live feed from his store’s cameras and check on his employees. Also, with access to the internet the person is empowered to search any topic and find needed information in a time of need. finally, face time what a wonderful innovation. With it I can talk facet o face with just about anyone. What this means to the user is that if dad is on the west coast and his daughter is on the east coast face to face communication can be instantaneous. For a little girl that misses her daddy this can be a great comfort.
                In conclusion the iPhone 4 is very appealing to the modern day person because of it great diversity of functions. Even though many people consider cell phones to be dangerous and habit forming there are many great benefits to having the iPhone 4. American society has benefited greatly from the iPhone 4 and will continue to benefit from it as long as they are updated. I know that in the new future something better will come out but up to this point the iPhone 4 is the best we got when it comes to cell phone technology. I encourage everyone to get on the band wagon with the iPhone 4 because if you don’t have an IPhone then you don’t have an iPhone.
