Can you live without your cell phone? The variable applications make the usage of cell phones goes into a new era. People can search where the gas station with the lowest price is on cell phones. They can also download the TV shows to their cell phones, update their Facebook page, and play the complex games on their mobile phones. If the iPhone users download the Shazam software, they can know what the song is playing and the name of the singer by putting their phone in front of the radio. Trapster lets the users build a social network that saw you from getting a speeding ticket.
In Japan and Finland, people use the mobile phone as an electronic wallet. They can use it to take the public transportation and pay their bills with it at the stores.
Analyst Sharma said the people would be the remote controller to us and “Anything that we touch and see and feel, and whomever we communicate with — we will control that with our mobile phones.”
The mobile phone application market is more and more We expect to see that more and more people see their mobile phones as important as their life in the future.

Very interesting article! In modern society, we definitely can’t live without our phones because we have already got used to all those convinient functionalities provided by our cell phone and want to stay connected with the outside world.

Craziness. Phone theft to be on the rise in the future? My whole life is on “my precious” iPhone (I do begin to look like Gollum when found gazing at my screen).
I can’t live without my iPhone for minutes… its scary. I let it die the other day so I could give it a full charge and was feeling withdrawals.

It’s scary to think the more we use our phones the less we can live without it. Especially now that I can do email on my phone it’s like i check it every 10 minutes (not that anyone mails me every 10 minutes).

I think it is the change from the phone being just a phone to a phone being a mobile computer that has made it particularly addicting.
Have you seen this news report? In a German survey about 84 percent of those aged 19-29 said they would rather do without their romantic partner or a car than lose their connection to the Internet. In addition, a whopping 97 percent of them could not imagine living without their mobile phones.

On the other hand, I do know a couple people who don’t have a cell phone. It might be interesting to do a survey on those odd cell-phoneless people to find out if there is something for which they would consider trading their romantic partner. Chocolate? Seahawks tickets? A porsche?

Guess I am at the opposite end. I can’t live without my computer with internet access and I can continue my life happily without my cell-phone. I am never into phones since I know how to use a telephone.
I prefer just enjoy my walking on the street or having a quiet moment without the distraction from my cell-phone. When I need to check emails and whatever, I turn my computer on. The funny thing is, this kind of not-into-cellphone behavior could be called “old-fashion” now.

I could live without my phone, but perhaps that’s only because I don’t have a smart phone. If I used an iphone or android, I would certainly grow attached to it very quickly as a way to check email or look up information on the run. The internet has become much more valuable to people than actual conversation.

Since a phone has become multifunctional device, it has become an irreplaceable device to many people.
