Introduction:
My experience with cell phones, especially with the rapid changes in technology and evolutions is quite interesting.

Initially, I have struggled with the touch screen, the basic setups and the many functionalities that I do not think I can let go anymore.

Main Body:
When I was a little girl, I remember that the only way of communication was through the old land line phones available in the some homes and not all. And to call from outside the home I used to use the cabin phones, or phones in supermarkets which will charge me by the number of minutes I used the phone.

  • No Need To Call By Jenna Wortham Summary

    Jenna Wortham challenges negative views of digital communication by arguing “In my experience, however, I’ve found the opposite to be true, especially as more and more of my daily interactions with friends, colleagues and family happen through a screen. If anything, the pervasiveness of technology in my life has heightened my desire for actual one-on-one meetings” (396). Wortham is describing how texting has enhanced her relationships with others. This is because it makes it far easier for her to make plans and communicate with her friends and family when she isn’t with them. Texting is almost like a tease to actually being together, in her eyes it makes her want to talk to and spend time with someone even more.

Unless you see the person’s face, hear their voice and understand the environment, you have no idea the context surrounding the written words”(citation). Technology blurs things for people on the outside looking in.
