iPhones: Making peoples' lives easier
By: Cam Hall
Many recent developments in the field of technology have enabled U.S. citizens to keep themselves occupied and entertained in their daily lives, but none quite so much as the iPhone. The iPhone came into existance back in 2007 and can be considered a mix of a cellular phone and an iPod with lots of gadgets/apps that are programmed into its system. Before the emergence of the iPhone, people could not have had any other technological device that could perform as many functions as this creation could. The iPhone became an instant hit with the majority of the people in the United States, thanks in no small part to what it had to offer to all of us. Over the last few years, the makers of the Apple iPhones have been able to improve their technilogical wonder by adding more to it from one model to the next, which has caused a great deal of the people in America to rely more on the iPhones. The people in America have come to rely on the iPhones to perform certain tasks (involving things that may have not been able to have been accomplished as efficiently without their use) and to enchant themselves on a regular day to day basis, which has become a common and repetitive habit among the people in America today. The iPhone is used frequently in today's society due to its ability to use time efficiently, and have many amusing and interactive gadgets/apps for users to play around with.
The iPhone is able to allow people to consume very little amounts of time when they are trying to do important things. The Apple iPhone is able to do this by including a device that allows you to say a message into a recorder on the iPhone that will analyze what the person has said and respond to it by searching for the best result(s) that match with what the person said and finding them all in a matter of seconds. This would easily save people the trouble of having to type in by hand onto their iPhones what they were looking for One example of a situation where this device would come in handy would be when people are trying to search on the internet for important information that they may need for a paper that they are writng for a report, etc. Another example of a situation would be when people are trying to send messages to others while they are doing other important things so that way not as much time is wasted trying to create the message needed to be sent to its recipient(s). One other example of a situation would be when random questions pop in peoples' minds and they are curious to know what the answer are to them. These people can quickly and efficiently find out the answers by asking the iPhone these questions and it will locate and pull up the answers in very short periods of time. The iPhone saves time in another way by having touch screens that respond to a person's fingers when he or she taps a certain icon on the screen and then it opens up the contents of what information that is stored in that icon. This allows fast access to certain sites and information, especially when these sites are represented by icons that are right on the home menu of a perosn's iPhone. The efficient use of time has definately contributed to the iPhone's great success over the last few years, in America.
The iPhone is able to allow people to explore many different sites and do many different kinds of activities on it through its many different apps/gadgets that it comes installed with. This recent development in technology had the ability to visit a wide range of websites in certain ways unlike any other ways that have been performed in the past. The Apple iPhone allows users to check their statuses on Facebook and to reply to any messages they have received from other people that they know. In addition, the iPhone allows people to watch videos online via a icon on its home menu that links people to the popular website called YouTube. On the plus side, the iPhone allows users to do all sorts of fun things like listening to music by any artist that a perosn desires, whether it be James Brown or Ke$ha. In addition, the iPhone allows people to play all sorts of games, such as Angry Birds, that are available for people to have a good time with. Other things that the iPhone allows people to do (with reference to the new iPhone 5) is to read books, whether they are recent or old-time bestsellers, and to wathc movies, both old and new. The inclusion of many interactive and fun gadgets/apps on the iPhone itself has definately contributed to its great success over the last few years, in America.
In today's society, the iPhone has changed the way people view technology by allowing them to become intrigued by what it has to offer them on a day to day basis. The iPhone has been able to progress into a more offering piece of technology over the years that it has been in existance. Another note to make is that certain things about the iPhone have changed since the very first model to the new iPhone 5 released in September of 2012. These new changes include the facts that the new iPhone 5 is "18 percent thinner and 20 percent lighter than the previous version." In addition, "the company got rid of the traditional 30-pin dock connector for connecting the iPhone to power cables, stereo docking stations and other peripherals, replacing it with a smaller connector it calls Lightning." This change implys "that owners of existing iPhone accessories will have to purchase and adapter from Apple so they can plug the new phone into those devices." Other things that make the new iPhone 5 stand out from the previous models are its "larger screen, faster wireless Internet speeds and a more powerful chip." Based on these pieces of information, it is a wonder as to what will expected in future years for iPhones and what they have to offer us. The iPhone definately seems likely, based on this information, to become even better in the future.
