Having Fun With Your Cellphone
We’ve come a
long way from the days when phones were a luxury item
viewed with suspicion by the masses and used mainly
to report bad news. Today, cellphones are a fashion
accessory and used for entertainment, recreation and
to impart good news - or none at all, but simply to
say "hi". Everything about the phone has changed
- its size, shape and colour too. It’s appropriate
then that the dial tone can be changed to play your
favorite tune. Simply log on to the appropriate website
and click on your choice.
But more than that, cellphones also
perform a variety of other functions. Not only can you
take photos with them, but the results are visible immediately.
You can even download them to your computer. You can
download wallpaper and screensavers, listen to your
favorite music, find out the date and time, use it to
make shopping lists and reminders, and use it as a PC...

While the younger generation has accepted
the invention of the cellphone, older people who have
trouble adjusting to new inventions may take a while
coming to terms with the necessity for its use. After
all, haven’t they survived most of their lives
without one? Perhaps, but at what cost? What about when
dear Uncle John died and you didn’t even know until
after you’d sent that letter inviting him to stay
for a while? What about the last time your car broke
down and you had to walk several kilometers in the heat
or rain to find a phone?
Now, you can remain in the safety and
air-conditioned comfort of your car and get help –
or conduct business. And cellphones are becoming even
more sophisticated. Some phones are now about the size
of a credit card. Soon they’ll be able to perform
the same functions, no doubt. Already the latest word
in smart cellphones, Samsung won the GSM award for best
Mobile Handset in 2005. Its model SGH-D500 has video
recording with 60mg of storage space, an MP3 player,
camera with flash as well as 64 ring tones to mention
just a few features. And it is still small. You want
smaller? The latest model is only as big as an ear-piece.
But the ultimate in women’s cellphones
is the natty little hot pink and silver, clam-shaped
beauty that is scented, comes with a calorie counter,
lets you know when you are ovulating, chooses the perfume
best suited to you and gives you a height/weight ratio,
as well as all the other features. Yes, with today’s
cell phone you can conduct business, have heaps of fun
and hold the whole world in your hand.
