The Role of the Mobile Phone in Life

The advent of the mobile phone in a person's life has revolutionized the way people communicate, relate and do business on the face of the earth. One looks back and ponders how we have managed to survive before the manufacture or availability of the cellphone. All I can say is that the face of the earth has change due to the advent of the cellular communication device (the cell phone). There are many marked advantages that this technology has brought.

The Advantages and Roles in Brief

- Business Connectivity - Business persons have become more accessible enhancing the speedy dissemination of information to them for decision making. Traditionally one needed to be in one know place at a specific time but with mobile phones, they can now be contacted from whichever part of the city they could be especially where there is coverage. A mobile phone is with you wherever you go hence it is almost like there is no communication that is missed.

- Social Connectivity - Mobiles have helped communities keep up to date with the most up to date information, news and highlights as they occur. Children in the city centre are able to find out how their parents are in the remote areas where connectivity is made available. This ensures that there are no delays in communicating emergencies or any other information. There is nothing better than being up to date with social issues that surround you.

- Economic Development - Where communication is smooth, economies are strengthened. People used to share one or two lines and as long as those lines were busy, no calls would come through to the business and no connections were made with the outside world. Mobile phones have contributed towards speedy flow of finances, goods and services from one point to the other. Cellphones do play a pivotal role in the economic development of a nation.

- Political Advancement - Politicians keep in contact with the constituencies in real-time. Failure to remain connected to one's constituency or electorate cuts the political figure out from being reached. Any meaningful support of the people comes from the guarantee of availability of the political figure to those who elected him/her to office.

- Personal Development - The mobile phone provides a convenient access to the internet which is a a pool of resources that one can access in order to develop others and be developed. There is lesson you want in life that you not find on the internet. This is even better as you can move around town with such a reference tool in your pocket. Information is power hence mobile computing enhances personal growth and development.

- Mobile Health - Doctors can now be contacted for any emergencies saving lives. It is now easier to mobilize the efforts of a group of people to respond to an urgent appeal. Before, if a Doctor left his practice, you would either need to know where he was going in order to know how to locate them. In some instances you would need to call the house only to leave a message as he/she would possibly have passed through some places.

- Mobile In every sector - When you look at Agriculture, Mining, Education and so on, there has been a vast improvement and enhancement of systems owing to the use of the mobile. The industries are far too many to mention.
