The popularity of
the cell phones is constantly on the rise. There are many reasons
for that and they are well beyond mere communicating with each
other. The development of the cell phones and technology in the
past decade along with social and cultural processes as well as
sharp declines in prices contributed to their huge success.
The integration of so many different functionalities
and technologies into the cell phones is more impressive and beneficial
than the all-in-one office devices that integrated a scanner,
a copier, a fax and a printer into a single compact space saving
multifunctional machine.
The current generation of G-2.5 technology as well as the very
near future G-3 units that are starting to emerge right now will
carry in it so many functions which are mind blowing. These new
Cell phones are going to be a multimedia center, a mobile office,
a navigation device GPS (Global Positioning system), a computer
with fast Internet access, a text messenger, a high resolution
camera and video, a watch, a calculator, a PDA, an MP3 music player,
TV and a Wallet! Yes, we will be able to pay with it for things
we today pay with coins like vending soda or coffee machines as
well as for parking space, trains and buses tickets etc’.
