 Direct Affects Mobile Phones Have On Society

The iPhone has dramatically changed how people interact in the world. It made a sweeping debut in 2007, 
when the smart phone was first introduced into the world of technology, and has set very high expectations 
ever since for other smart phone companies. This phone has impacted society in both negative and positive 
ways. For many people of the world, this piece of technology has made their lives much simpler with this
easy to use phone.

The phone is capable of giving instant access to information that can affect finance, government, socialisations,
entertainment, and much more at the touch of your fingertips. For adults, it can be convenient for work 
purposes, such as sending in a report on time, communicating via email,  or buying / selling a stock when
time is essential. It can also be handy to pay a bill online through the iPhone. Their are millions of applications 
that help you connect to the world around you, like financial apps, political apps, and apps that aid in learning 
what is going on in the world of entertainment. The iPhone connects the user to places all over the world.

This instant sharing of information can impact governments by exposing abuse of citizens such as the riots
in Egypt.

 Social networking is one of the many reasons the iPhone is so popular. You can connect to popular sites like 
Facebook and YouTube easily thanks to the App Store, and stay in touch with what events are going on even
when you are on the go. This is a big plus when a lot of people want to know what is happening every moment
of the day, every day. The iPhone has also made sending pictures easier to send and receive.

The phone's future-forward technology has also allowed people to learn about the news and events that have
been occurring around the world only a short time after it happens. These events include the civil war
happening in Libya, and the violent crackdown by the Syrian government on its own citizens. Due to the size 
of the phone, which is getting slimmer with every new generation, it is convenient to carry around all day, 
and store. 

Despite the many positive ways the iPhone has impacted society, there are many negative ways also. 
The phone has made it dramatically easier to communicate with others, but this is not always a good thing. 

The phone, along with other smart phones, have helped people (mainly teens) send harmful messages and 
photos to one another. Cyber-bullying is a major problem today in the world, and it is only getting worse
with all of this new technology making things easier to communicate. This iPhone has left an incredibly big 
mark on the world, and made millions of lives easier with just a simple black rectangle.
