The poster that is linked above documents the changes that have occurred to the mobile phone over the past ten years. The change has been drastic, and covers all aspects of the phone, from price to function to usage. These days a phone is much more than just a phone; it's an MP3 player, an organiser, a gaming device.
The poster provides an interesting comparison between the first MP3/phone device released in 2000 and the now almost ubiquitous iPhone 3Gs, released in 2009. Not only has the price been lowered, but the applications available on the latter phone as well as its uses far surpasses that of its ancestor the Samsung Uproar.
Nowadays, smartphones like the iPhone dominate the market, to a point where most people feel that they can't live without their mobile phones. The statistics provided on the poster reflects how much today's society feels the need to be connected and constantly communicating with each other. Widespread ownership of mobile phones has decreased the use of landlines in America, and increased the number of car accidents because of text messaging. The social affect of mobile phones has become so serious that use of mobile phones are restricted by law in most countries.
