What makes cell phones a part of pop culture? Goodness, where do we start with that answer? Look around, how many people do you see with a cell phone? Actually, an easier question would be how many people do you see WITHOUT a cell phone? Cell phones went from a luxury item to what now seems to be a necessity. Young elementary age children, all the way to our elderly grandparents are now in the possession of cell phones. There are so many ways to personalize your phone that cell phones have now become as much a part of fashion as your clothes and your hair are. The 'ring tones', the colors, the wallpaper, the message styles, and often your ability to send a message in as few letters as possible, not to mention the ability to take a picture and send it instantly to someone thousands of miles away.
We use to turn the television on to check for weather updates or check the local newspaper for sports scores or to get updates on local news. Now, we reach for our cell phone and jump on the internet to find that information.
The cell phones of the past were as big as a home phone and were not exactly a sign of fashion! Today’s cell phones are sleeker, hipper, and can easily slip into your pocket. From an Iphone, a Droid, a Razr (nope, not something you use in the shower, either), a Blackberry (not the blackberries we use to pick off the vines and eat!), to virtually any type of phone you can imagine, cell phones are her to stay and are very much a part of our pop culture.
