For one cellphones first started out huge and then started getting smaller. It was all about being compact and portable. Now cellphones keep getting bigger and bigger in order to get bigger viewing screens and more applications. Pretty soon we will be carrying around laptops to our ear to talk! ha ha ha
I remember being in high school in 2004 and barely buying myself a crappy little NOKIA pre-paid phone. That thing was so good to me. The battery lasted for days and it never froze up on me or crashed. Now my cellphone is either plugged while I use it so I know it won't die on me or it's being plugged in at least twice a day because the battery runs out given I'm using the applications 24-7!
The cellphone pretty much replaced everything! No need for laptops because your phones have internet, Word Document applications to type up papers, no need for a camera because your phone now has one for video and pictures, no need to get a game system because you've got thousands of games at your fingertips AND you can play with friends that are in a different continent!
It's amazing how things evolve. I used to think over what fun things I was going to do with friends on the weekend or what adventures I was going to get myself in now the only way I hang out with friends is by following their facebook, Pin-terest, Twitter etc...I remember a time when hanging out with friends was all about getting together in one place, actually seeing each other and talking about something other than what stupid thing someone posted on facebook...actually doing things! Now when I go out with people, everyone is sitting quietly staring at their phones the whole time.
It seems like everyone is just in a race to show off who is having a more exciting night. Facebook went from catching up to seeing people post crap every 5 minutes about what they bought at the grocery store, what they ate for lunch, what they saw on t.v., if they took a shit or not!
Now-a-days most people don't even comment on anything, they just "LIKE" it and repost it or simply ignore it.
