Social Studies - Advancements In Technology

When asked to choose one advancement in technology that I believe has made the greatest impact on society, the choice came right to mind. The cell phone. Although many families across the globe own a phone for the whole household, cell phones are also very important to have. Even though there are still pay phones for people to use in public, it is much more convenient to have a cell phone on you to use. When in an emergency, sometimes a call for help is needed. If you don't have a cell phone, more than likely you will have to go somewhere else before making the call that can save someone's life. Also, the communication that came with the invention of cell phones makes the world a smaller place. These pocket sized devices can call any phone number of your choice anywhere on the globe. Without a cell phone, I couldn't talk to my friends as much as I am able to, which is very important to me and many other teenagers that I know. =]. This is why I believe that cell phones have a great impact on society.
