The Positive Sides Of Owning A Cellphone

With the decline of landline phones, there came an era of portable ones, better known as cell phones. Cell phones have gone from a revolutionary invention to a “must have” device in decade or two. Nowadays, almost every person owns one, but we usually hear only about their downsides. However, instead of joining the naysayers, we have decided to do the exact opposite, and take a closer look at their benefits instead. After all, we can’t exactly blame misuse on the phones themselves, even if some aspects of owning a smartphone – for instance, using social media – can be quite addictive.

Features and Functions:
Modern mobile phones, commonly known as smartphones, offer a wide variety of functions that can actually be very helpful. Every mobile phone comes with many applications already installed, but if something is missing, you can always download it in minutes or less. No, we are not talking only about texting and talking anymore. These phones offer you a whole range of applications, all the way from a calculator or a game, to a programming and hacking apps – you can find an app for everything nowadays. Smartphones have advanced light years passed traditional phones and even early generations of mobile phones. Now, these devices can serve as a personal assistant. You can also use them for shopping and ordering food online. All you rely on is a stable internet connection. And since most of the planet is connected to the world wide web,  there are few limitations to what you can do.

SIM Cards:
Well, let’s say that without a SIM Card, you wouldn’t be able to text or make phone calls. A SIM Card is a tiny memory stick containing your phone number. It also memorizes up to 250 different contacts, so if something is to happen to your phone, you just take your SIM Card, insert it into a different phone, and voila, all your contacts are still there. In case of an emergency, this could come in handy. The only situation in which you don’t need your SIM Card is if you are using the internet to text and talk with your friends, family, and coworkers. However, it is wise to have one, because your internet connection might fail when you need it the most.

WiFi technology:
Thanks to wireless technology, you don’t have to sit at a computer and use a wired connection exclusively anymore; it is easy to establish a fast and reliable internet connection on your mobile phone. This means that smartphones are flexible, people who use them are for the most part always accessible, and since WiFi infrastructure is cheaper than traditional wired technology, it’s also much more affordable. Imagine a scenario where you don’t have a SIM Card, let’s say you somehow broke it, and it’s a life or death situation. If you have your phone and some WiFi around, you can easily contact someone and let them know you need help. Comes in handy, doesn’t it?
