Mobile Phones: Making the World Smaller
Today, communication is everything, and this is evident in the way in which we get our everyday products from all over the world. Before the invention of the telephone, it was unimaginable that one would ever be able to converse with somebody even twenty miles away. In the world of today, we can't even bring ourselves to visualize what life would be like if we could not speak across oceans and continents.
There was a time when a telephone was attached to a wall and could move only as far as the telephone cord. Today, even in our homes we are able to chitchat about about the weather and everything else under the sun from not just the drawing rooms, but also from the kitchen, the bathroom, the attic, or any other place you can visualize. And all this because the telephone had finally become cordless.
There was a time when the car phone was seen as being a major advance. Who would have imagined that there would come a time when you could talk while you were moving from one place to another. Yet, even with cordless phones and car phones, we continued to be fixed to something – in this case, the house and the car respectively.
Then the big boom happened! We saw the invention of something that introduced a great shift in the way in which the world carried out its communication. The spotlight time of the mobile phone had now begun. This was obviously very different from the days when letters had to be posted whenever some message of great importance was involved. Back in the days when post was the only way to communicate quickly, one could never have imagined getting super-fast answers. But now, as mobile phones continue to exercise their sway over our lives, the buzzword is instant communication.
We are the children of the communication era, and can observe the rise of newer and newer modes of communication. And what could give voice to this era than the mobile phone the mobile phone. We are no longer tied down by telephone cords. We are able to talk to our near and dear ones, our colleagues and mentors, and whoever else we would like to even as we keep moving around.
Gone are the days of having to keep in mind important phone numbers. We have passed the days of looking for a pay phone if we want to make a call. The mobile phone has made life so much easier for us, by allowing us to make and receive calls at all times!
