Are Smartphones That Important to Us?

Mobile phones have come a long way since they became available to the public almost 2 decades ago. They moved along from being a status symbol when first introduced to becoming a tool for communication to being an enabler that allowed people to do things they do in the office even when they are traveling.

Integrating different gadgets into one nifty package has become the battle cry of mobile phone manufacturers.  It started with incorporating a music player into a mobile phone.  Then the introduction of camera phones jump-started the popularity of mobile phones.  Imagine, you can take pictures of things instantly even without a separate camera because your mobile phone has already a built in one.  The convenience of it surely satisfied a lot of people.  However, given the never-ending thirst of the human race for something bigger and better than what they have, manufacturers have no choice but to innovate and a make a better mobile phone than their previous model.
