Mobile phones


Today’s task is to answer the questions about mobile phones.

The first questions ask how mobile phones have changed in the last 30 years. Maybe the answer of this question is that mobile phones have taken over our current society since late 1940s.

When the mobile phone was created with analogical technology, which was much less reliable than the digital technology we use today, had a great deal more static and noise interference than we are accustomed to today.
Another disadvantage was the large size of the mobile phones.

The second questions talks about the different uses of mobile phone by young people. Nowadays teenagers use mobile phones to send SMS and MMS (Multimedia message), SMS to send e-mails (in Japan, Korea, China and India). But they use the mobile for other things like listening to music, playing games, downloading things…

The last question that we have to find the information in the links is about the uses of the mobile in different cultures. For example, in china is a costume to send more SMS than in Spain. Spanish people use more the mobile to phone.

And the main question: Do the mobile phones affect your privacy?
Yes, there’re some moments in the day that are interrupted by mobile phones. When you’re walking down the street very peacefully and you hear one person talking on the phone, you’re disturbed by it. This is one thing, but there’re more things that affects our privacy. When you’re in a party and your phone rings, you have to answer it and the people that are with you are listening what are you saying, and the people get angry.
