Blogpost 5: Pass the Message

Communication is very important especially in our generation. People nowadays tend to depend on other people through their messages which is delivered in many ways. We let people know our feelings and ideas by relaying our messages to them. Back then, it was so difficult to do that because the means of communication were very limited. Sending a message will take days even months before it gets to be delivered. That's why they have associated it with what you call snail mail. How does it work? Well, for you to be able to send a snail mail, you need to have a messenger who will deliver the mail to your recipient. 

As you all know, this kind of setting is very difficult since you cannot tell someone right away in an instant. However, as time pass by, new ways of communication were developed. First came the pager, where you call a number then your message will be relayed from the tower, which will send it to the person's pager. But there are also some disadvantages with it because it is just one-sided. The only difference is that it is faster than the snail mail. Then comes the cellular phone, this time, you can send your message and also receive a reply right away.

Cellular phone or most commonly known as the cellphone, have evolve from black and white to being colored, now it also the capability to take pictures and videos where you can upload it in the internet so that you can share a very special moment to other people. But there's one article which discusses the down fall of cellular phones.

An article written by Ben Spencer, it is entitled Mobile users can't leave their phone alone for six minutes and check it up to 150 times a day from the site Mail Online. Mr. Spencer talked about how cellular phones became a necessity in life. He tackled how people react with and without their phones with them. There are times when people spends too much time on their gadgets letting them end up being unproductive. It became a hindrance rather than a help as it continues to improve its capabilities. As he said and I quote, "It’s the gadget that many of us would feel lost without."


In addition to what our cellular phones can do, Sajid Bashir has listed the things that we can anticipate regarding the use of our cellphones. He wrote in A Short Article regarding the Mobile Phones from Dublin Property Post that in some nations the number of phones have already out numbered the number of their population. With just a small gadget in our pocket we can already do a lot of things and accomplish them in just one click. He has predicted that in the near future we its not impossible that we can even use our phones to start our car. He said that, "Cell phones now supply so many more superior options."

Our generation has been rich, not much in agriculture but rather in technology. People have been lazy going to the library given that there is an internet that is now existing. However, We must be reminded that not all things can be trusted with technology because as we all know not all messages are true may it be in the internet nor in just a simple text. Life has existed before technology was discovered and it will surely will after its gone.
