During this era, I can not really think of anyone I know who would not take pleasure in getting and using a Smartphone. Even my mom and dad, who are now both of their seventies, would discover a smartphone is a useful device. Your modern smartphone is a true multimedia device. Like having a desktop in your pocket, it is space age technology, even further ahead than the Tricorder in Star Trek! Let’s look at the features in a good smartphone and see how useful they are.
GPS:
What some kit! GPS is what really sets the smartphone apart from lesser devices. Now, you recognize where that you are, wherever you are. Plus much more significantly, you now know where you are going. With applications like Heyway, you do not even will need to phone your friend to inform them whre abouts you are. Even better - you do not have to speak to them to guide them to you. Google maps will deal with that. So, a crowded bar, lots of noise, a conversation with someone you can’t hear, to guide them to a bar you don’t know. This is now all a thing from the past.
Camera and Video:
A camera plus a video camera. Awesome. Back in the old days, you would see something in a street which was interesting, stand and watch for some time and later whenever you were in the pub, hold your associates spellbound with a fascinating rendition of the story, Peter Ustinov style. And sometimes you will probably still want to do this. Especially if you want to decorate the narrative a bit. But, you now have the option to take a picture, or even a video of the whole episode.
Take an event I stumbled on last week. I am walking along Regent Street, minding my very own business, as you do. I see a crowd around a store just past Hamley’s. Like a Meer cat, my neck’s up and I am in search of the action. It is a shoplifter. He is being held in the headlock position by 3 security guards. Prada. I haven’t seen any real life or quality action like this for days (I was in Brixton last week). There is lots of shouting and he’s actually doing quite good considering he’s outnumbered 3 to 1. Quick as a flash, I whip out my iphone and begin video recording. This is simply the sort of footage which can grant you centre stage at my weekly meeting of geeky friends in the pub. The scuffle continues for several more minutes. The handbag (yes, a handbag!) he has stolen is retrieved before the law enforcement are called to take his details and ensure that he receives a warning and a holiday in the Bahamas for being underprivileged and having to steal. And I get to hold court showing the video and explaining to my mates what a noteworthy, diverse and dangerous part of town I work in. Every one is a winner.
Storage:
Not only do you take the images and video footage, but with the large memory in a smart phone, you can store it. Which means that all of the images I take, and even the one’s I download form another camera, will always be with me. Pictures of my family and friends and interesting videos of shoplifters. I can access them anywhere and at anytime. Much like carrying a photo album inside your pocket.
Music and Video:
Having a smartphone you have always got your favourite tune to hand. Therefore there’s never a dull moment. I make a copy of every tune I have ever liked on my iphone. From Steps Gold to The Saturdays. Over 2000 tracks. Rock and Roll. Or in this case, cheesy pop. And it get’s even better. If you’re a real luddite and you don’t read books, it is easy to even watch feature films on them.
The Internet:
The greatest invention since fire and access to it from the phone. Could you have imagined this in 1998? I hardly will need to wax lyrical about the virtues of the internet, but accessing it from anywhere, at any time, well it is more than the civilization deserves. And never again is there an outrageous statistic or fact uttered in the comfort of the local pub that cannot be instantly verified. From football statistics to physics, the oracle is in the pocket.
Calenders, alarms and organisers:
Not surprisingly, you can use your smartphone to organise your life. It is killed off PDAs and alarm clocks. And you never will want to own a pen and notebook if you’ve got a smartphone. Which can only be a superb thing.
Applications or Apps:
Third-party applications. A genius invention that has driven the triumph of the iphone in particular. From business applications to entertainment and all in between. Ranging in cost from your free to your preposterous price and in usefulness from the inane to the necessary. There are now more 300,000 of them.
Telephone calls:
Yes, even having a myriad of functions and capabilities, the smartphone can still make and receive telephone calls. Thus the smartphone is the best invention of the 21st Century – so far. If you haven’t got one, go and buy one today. It is going to change your life. And if you don’t have the funds for one, sell something. Your spare TV, your old phone or your desktop. You may choose to even try shoplifting on Regent Street. Just keep away from the handbag store near Hamley’s...
