Popularity of Mobile Phones

Mobile phones are popular at the moment and they will continue to be popular because more and more features are being added to then, for example internet surfing, games, applications, built in microphone and camera, video. All of these new features being added allows the user to use most of their senses when using the device like sight and visual when playing games, browsing the internet or going through pictures. Hearing when listening to music. Some phones even have a touchscreen which allows the user to use their third sense  touch. When playing games the user is able to use their touch sense, hearing when listening to the game audio or listen to music whilst playing. Gaming developers are also improving the graphics for games so the user can use their visual sense in addition to the two other senses. Mobile phone users get to use three out of five senses when playing a game making their gaming experience enjoyable.

Another reason why I believe the handheld device will still dominate the consumer electronics market is because currently most phones have internet connectivity. Wireless internet connectivity allows young people to access social networking websites such as Facebook and Myspace and share pictures and videos with their friends. They can also contact their friends through instant messaging on MSN, Yahoo and Skype applications on their phones. Young people also enjoy playing games and listening to music while on the bus.

Mobile phones may continue to develop throughout the years by having new features to appeal to young people such as touchscreen, voice recognition, clear phones, holograms, applications for every personal need, portable charger, high definition filming and photo editing. Young people will not need multiple electronic devices for gaming, taking pictures and communication because phone companies will start to have a camera built into the phone and games can be put onto the phone.
