Cell Phones

Today cell phones are basically part of everyone’s everyday life. They are a form of communication, status and even style with the wide array of choices available today. You can be in class, on the bus or even in the bathroom and you can find someone using their cell phones. Even the bum standing on Richmond Street with the sign that says “Hungry & Homeless” is carrying a cell phone. Cell phones are such an integral part of so many people’s lives that if they did not have one their lives would quickly fall apart. I had no cell phone throughout the month of September and a majority of October and I must say that it was very difficult in many aspects of my life. I know that I use my cell phone a few times everyday and if I did not have it then it would make life a lot tougher. The two major cell phone services, Rogers and Bell, are in a constant battle to recruit teenagers and lock them in to a four year cell phone plan. The marketing today is trying to target whole families to make it easier for them all to have cell phones at the best prices. This means there will be more 10 year olds walking around with cell phones with their parents paying for the ridiculous fees because little Timmy called his internet buddy in Europe. The cell phone craze seems to have just got its wheels spinning and will continue to develop into the future. More and more cell phones are now full entertainment centres with integrated internet, games, mp3 players and visual displays for all your everyday needs.
