Mobile phone “King of all Gadgets”?

Hello everyone,

With new tech replacing old tech, and an ever increasing polarisation towards the mobile phone as a one-stop shop for all your modern day needs. Could it really happen? The day the mobile phone replaces the gadgets we love so much the Laptop, the Sat Nav, the MP3, the TV, and become an integral part of life.

The mobile phone is our most personal device, we keep confidential details, information and secrets on it. It never leaves our side even when we sleep. And yet we are more than happy to change it for the new model as soon as we get the chance from out network.

How can an item we guard and keep close to us be so easily made redundant?

The answer is that the mobile phone is merely a vessel and not a possestion! It simply holds what we need it to until its time is up and it is replaced by a vessel that can hold more, in more quality and has a better interface for recollection. We have no loyalty to a phone like we do to a car. I can ask anyone who drives and they can tell me exactly what colour their first motor was, the make and model and usually the registration. But a mobile phone is a different story we do not connect long term like we do with our first car. But ask them their first phone and people just say it was a real brick and the battery lasted about 5 mins before I needed to charge it.

I honetly and truly believe this is the reason we are willing to give it up so easily after a very intense year or 18 months together....

It gave you a year of total dedication and you simply let it go to be the vessal for its next owner. It is not all doom and gloom because even at this late stage in you time together your phone, that you got free from your network, that kept you in touch with your friends, that made sure you got up for work in time, will, even as it is being replaced give you once last gift.

Money…

It has no lasting value as soon as the day comes that the new one you ordered as an upgrade from the network arrives, which you show off to everyone you see with such pride. And yet the phone is worth something to someone and thus the option arises to sell the phone on and earn you some cash in the process. So why not give it a second chance of a prolonged and useful life and send it to mopay today.

So in answer to the title question… is the mobile phone the king of all gadgets?

The answer… Yes.

Well for a day at least.

Until next time people, keep recycling
