Sony Baek Writing Assignment #1 MIS 330 - 003 Prof. Hampe These days, technologies become an integral part of the daily lives of people. Evolvement and development of new technology exponentially increased over the past few decades. Smart phones become one of the central technologies of the 21st century due to widespread usage of cell phones for business, communication, and information. These days, smart phones have become an integral part of people’s lives. Almost every cell-phone users are using the third or fourth generation smart phones. As the technology evolved exponentially over the past years, also many smart phone applications were developed. The one smart phone application that I am going to introduce is called “Be My Eyes.” Based on the idea of Hans Jorgen Wiberg, who was having visual` disability, the application called “Be My Eyes” was developed. One day, Hans Jorgen Wiberg thought that people with visual disability like him often need to deal with some smaller daily tasks. For example, to check expiration date for food, check daily weather, or check to see what kind of nutrition facts are in the foods. In April 2012, Hans Jorgen Wiberg presented and introduced his idea for a smart phone application at start up event in Denmark. Hans Jorgen Wiberg met the developing team for the Be My Eyes at this event. His idea was selected and his team won the prize for the most innovative idea. After the winning the prize, Hans Jorgen Wiberg and his team has worked hard
In the article "Our Cell Phones, Ourselves," by Christine Rosen, she explains the dependency on cell phone use while highlighting unforeseen consequences that may occur with cellular device use. From allowing parents to track down their children, to having a casual conversation with a friend, cell phones offer people an unparalleled level of convenience. Furthermore, cell phone owners feel much safer knowing that in an emergency, help is just a phone call away. This convenience, however, does not come without any negative effects. Many cell phone owners become too engrossed in their phones and therefore ignore the physical world, an idea that Rosen refers to as "absent presence.” Also, people may use their phones as a way to prove they are

Everywhere you go, you cell phone goes with you, if you forget it at home, somehow we feel naked without it. Cell phones have become so powerful and useful for so many things other than just making phone calls; I do not even know why we still call them phones.

Cell phones have become a necessary part of society. At least any teenager will tell you so. Many Americans have cellular devices, but the main age group I’d say ranges from thirteen to twenty-five years old. These are the ones who depend on cell phones to communicate with others. Cell phones were originally created to be a phone you can use on the go to make calls instead of using a landline, however; these crazy devices have now added features such as calculators, alarm clocks and even note pads. The features don’t stop there though, people use their phones for emailing, texting, video games, and searching the internet. The most popular feature of cell phones in today’s society is social media. Everyone seems to have Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram and sadly it seems like people are judged if they don’t.
Thesis: The usage of cell phones in modern day society has caused quite the problem for citizens in this generation by being a major distraction, causing addictions, and has sadly became the main resource of communication.
With technology, the way we communicate has changed over the past year with our smart phones we can surf the internet, check our social media accounts, use GPS, and text and call our families and friends. The cell phones have made a significant impact on the social life of people. It helps us to communicate and stay connected around the world. People use their cell phones for nearly everything from cameras, alarm clock, radio, social networks and access to Internet to mobile money transactions.

Following the time when the mid 1980s, phones have been rapidly moving their route into our commonplace lives, particularly with the presentation of cam telephones in the early part of the new thousand years. As cells develop they have more of an effect on our commonplace lives and I need to exactly how much they are affecting. Similarly as with new engineering in whatever other structure, phones have changed enormously over their generally short life compasses. As these progressions happen, so does the populaces like and here and there loathe for these new advanced cells. One of the real issues happening with cell telephones in present day times is that individuals use them at wrong times, for example, when they are looking at of a market. Despite the fact that there are a couple negative perspectives about phones, my exploration and my paper are going to mostly the profits of Pdas in the United States of America. My exploration concentrates on a few key regions in wireless correspondence, for example, the advancement of Pdas, content informing, Pdas and other PDA applications and in addition my own particular exploration including a overview that I dispersed to some of my colleagues.

Every day of our lives, we watch as technology advances in leaps and bounds, so it was only logical when the cell phone came into existence, it would also be important to develop ways for a phone to be more than just a phone. With the explosion of the internet age people needed a way to bring their computers on the go, one that could fit in the palm of their hand. Whether it be checking emails, updating social networks or even playing games, smartphones seem to do it all. There is however, a dark side to every technological advance to everything that makes our lives more convenient. Smartphones are not only a huge distraction in our lives but are also known to cause health problems in those that use them and even have negative effects on society as a whole.
At first, I was going to analyze and write about smartphones, however I found it more efficient to write also about a particular smartphone to narrow it down from such a broad technological artifact, such as answering who designed it, what for, what their position and the impact they want to have on society was, and their future visions. Therefore, I chose the iPhone as the centerpiece of smartphones I will be analyzing and an emphasis on applications. However, some of this information is relevant and interchangeable to all other smartphones. IPhones and smartphones allow us to access constant information and offer it the way we want it, as it is completely customizable now to fit our learning style. They keep us organized, send information to us in different ways, even shape and offer solutions such as for politics, economies, problems whether individual ones or globally. Smartphones capitalize on shared knowledge and has opened the door to inventors and those who have the knowledge to make our world a more connected place and lives easier by sharing it with us to use. We are able to communicate with other people far off, through space-time compression or shrinking-space to gather news and information.
