How mobiles have changed our lives

In Jan 1985 when first mobile phone call was made, everyone was sure this technology is going to change the world very soon, but who would have predicted that this will keep on changing and revolutionising the world for next 30 years in one way of other. Its hard to imagine life without our cellphones today, gradually this 6 inch device has totally taken control of lives of 6 feet tall humans. Lets have a look how mobile phones have changed our lives over the period.

Anytime , Anywhere

Now you no longer call a place , you call a person. No matter what time you call you are sure that desired person is going to lift your call. Ask someone who was in love before mobile phones were easily accessible, one has to pass different stages before actually talking to the intended one. Now you can attend a business call from the convenience of your home. What do you do when you forget list of items to be purchased at home? You must be saying very easy call at home and get some one read it for you once, but it was not that easy few years ago you could have to drive all the way back home just to pick that list of items. 

Connect the remotest

While it was a huge effort in laying up wires for fixed telephone lines many developing countries lacked in telephone connectivity to remote areas due to lack of infrastructure, but with mobile technology , cellular companies are themselves erecting towers to increase their coverage area and connecting remote areas to rest of the world. 

Cute little messages

Letters are medium of long distance communication for centuries, mobile phones brought a new dimension to this medium in form of SMS those 140 characters were enough to express one's feeling in special sms lingo. These messages brought smiles on our faces when sent in form of jokes, or it made the team to be in sync for morning travel. These messages have also evolved a long way limit of 140 characters is long gone with internet based messaging apps such as Whatsapp or hike. 

Eating up the favourites
Remember old radio sets, watch on wrist, calculators on desk, camera in your travel bag, sony walkman etc. We may find these things as part of collection in few homes now. Smartphones these days have eliminated need of all these different gadgets and proved to be an alternative of these in single unit. 

Internet

Last but not the least Internet is on palm of every person due to mobile phones. A complete blog post is also not enough to cover this , but I will try to summarize it as required here. More than 70% of world internet users are mobile internet users. Mobile not only connects to a vast ocean of knowledge but also helps users to perform other tasks on the go which are not possible other wise. Mobile banking has reduced a lot of dependency on physical bank branch. You can order food, book tickets, get travel map, find way to your destination, stay connected with your loved ones on social media. We know how internet has powered our world and mobile has played a pivotal role in this success.
