Comparing technology, then versus now, it is interesting to see how fast technology progresses in becoming more user-friendly, faster, and even better looking. Technology must keep up, though, with consumer demand for newer and better products. The US consumer spends about 7 hours per month talking on a cell phone.
Cell phones were created for convenience; being able to contact someone and not a certain place means that nothing is set in stone, that appointments are "softer" than a firm plan. Although, consumers have taken the cell phone to the next level, using it as a day planner, a music player, a video game, and a text-message instant conversation. The demand from the consumer for better technology has only promoted a fast-paced and on-the-go lifestyle. The cell phone is even referred to as the "adult pacifier," because you can never leave home without it.http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=17486953
