Weekly Written Analysis 3

This week’s weekly analysis is about one of the most popular and most used pieces of technology, the cell phone. Almost everyone owns a cell phone these days. I even see young children carrying one or using one from time to time. The only generation of people I don’t see using them very much is the elderly. This is primarily because they lived through the prime of their lives without all of this technology. Cell phones have come a long way from the bulky satellite ones used in the 1980’s to the tiny multi purpose ones that are used today. Cell phones today come in all sorts of sizes and can do many things like emailing, texting, music, games, navigation, etc. Oh yeah, phone calls can also be made from them. They also have all sorts of accessories that can be added to them. Blue Tooth and memory cards are just a couple of examples of some of the accessories that can be used with cell phones today. Cell phones have become so popular that some people have rituals in which they will purchase the newest and coolest phone out there as soon as it is released for sale. A great example of this is the Iphone. Thousands of people wait for Apple to open their doors so that they can be one of the first people to own the latest and greatest cell phone. The cell phone technology will continue to grow as technology grows as a whole, kids that are using them will keep getting younger, and the rituals of buying the newest phone will continue to expand.
