Mobile Phones - How they have changed our lives

Do you remember for how long you have been using mobile phones. Not more than 3 to 4 years. Mobile technologies have changed the life we live. Today I saw in the paper that there is a seperate firm that provides mobile applications at reasonable charges. They charge about R. 7 per week. (Pardon me for not using the latest symbol of a rupee). This is still expensive but not unaffordable.

I know someone who dabbles with Sudoku and whenever time allows he plays. This is just one small application that mobiles provide. Not to say there are videos, reading material, useful train and bus booking sites that provide a whole lot of avenues for us to explore. Companies are fighting for that last penny, say paisa. They want a permanent consumer. They want loyal customers. They are doing whatever they can to hook him.

There isn't much difference between a computer and a mobile phone. Obviously except for talking purpose we use mobile. The size is a big issue. IF we can find the right size that is convenient for certain applications then we would have gently and gracefully solved the problem. Now we see infibeam pi and phi coming to the market. They are intermediates of laptops and mobile phones. Marketers have taken charge of the entire spectrum of pricing while considering these products.

Mobile phones have made our lives simpler. It is we who have made our lives difficult. Don't blame the mobile phones. They are a marvel of an invention and they are here to stay for many decades to come.
