Years ago cellular phones offered very limited coverage area for users. The design and function have come from big and ugly to now, tiny and flamboyant. It does not take a scientist to realize how cellular phones have evolved into a multi-function appliance. Retailers utilize technology and their creative vision to attract the cell phone consumers. The market for cell phones has increased because of social network media which is the cause for children pressuring their parents to purchase cell phones. This research will describe the most significant ways the cell phone has evolved. These ways are the camera/ camcorder, applications, and internet.
Internet
Lee Rannals for redOrbit.com completed a survey and the results be evidence for over half of all cell phone owners’ use their device to surf the Internet (Lee Rannals, 2012). Eighteen-percent of cell-mostly Internet users say a cell phone is more compatible with their online habits than a computer (Lee Rannals, 2012). The Internet is the most important function for the cell phone. The internet is important because any problem can be figured out. For example, if a person is out of town and direction to the nearest gas station or restaurant needs to be looked-up, they can do so by using the internet on their cell phone. They may need to look up the address, telephone number, or get directions. The internet is convenient and helps s to decipher through problems. * Jump to first hit
Camera
Photography often revolves around planned events, such as birthdays or weddings. Or, it relies on professional shoots. But even studiously prepared photographs must appear somehow impromptu. The images that photographers treasure most tend to be the pure opportunity shots that were captured with a combination of talent, providence, and whatever equipment was at hand. The emergence of digital point-and-shoot cameras helped to enhance photographers ' spontaneity (if not their talent). They also introduced photography to a new generation of users. The next wave of digital innovation promises to further expand this user base. It could even alter the boundaries of amateur photography. More importantly, however, the capture and sharing of images will become an intrinsic part of daily life.
Applications
The Applications creation has taken cell phones to greater heights. They are add-ons that carry out task other than making a phone call. Apps connect retailers to consumers. For Example, The customers for US Bank can download an application to allow them to check their bank account statement, transfer funds from one account to another, and deposit money. Also, there are games, news, sports, health, and entertainment applications. Cell phone users are able to download the applications which best fits into their desires. Carolyn Jarvis describe the application as a multi-billion dollar industry, but you can usually get an individual app for less than $2, and the options are endless (Jarvis, 2010). She said, “You have your games, your gadgets, your guides. Welcome to the world of apps. Short for application, you download it off your Smartphone. (Jarvis, 2010).” Applications are significant to how cellular phone is evolving.
Conclusion
Cellular phones will continue to evolve in the future because of internet, camera, and applications. They have come from being huge to small over the years. The functions have improved drastically from the keys to applications and the internet. The cell phone is compared to a smaller version of a computer based to the users. In fact, cell phone users with internet spend less time on a desktop computer. Applications allow users to connect with retailers and stay connected with friends, and capture picture moments in the past would be uncatchable. The cellular phone has evolved into a multi-function appliance and these are the reasons it will continue to evolve.
