Cell phones-New media

The cell phone has gone from being a rare and expensive device to a very popular device among people of all generations and all over the world. The amount of cell phones out number the amount of landlines that people have in their houses today and so do they also out number the amount of personal computers in households.Cellphones also have a large variety of services that may not have been available less than 20 years ago.These services include the internet, mp3 players where you can listen to music from your phone, blue tooth where you can exchange pictures etc from your phone for free, and video recording. Smsing (Short message service) is the main role of the cell phone and it has become a very integral part for a lot of people's every day lives. It is very cheap to send a message, at a cost of 34 cents.The fact that we have a camera on our phones and can take pictures with our cell phones is a huge advantage and many see the cell phone as as a digital device that connects the traditional world. People do not go out and purchase cameras anymore as much as they used to as their phones have these features built in already.

Ipods sentence cd's to death?

Ipods, along with Itunes, have almost revolutionized music and the way we listen to it. Thanks to the Ipod, music has become a lot more personal and independent. The Ipod is basically a personal mp3 player that, with the technology of the newer Nano and Touch models, is not only able to play music but also video. This means that Ipods are a suitable medium for watching music videos, movies and TV series as well as music.

The device works with the program, Itunes, where the owner will synchronize the files on the computer with the files on the device thus decreasing piracy. Itunes is also a huge music database in which, when linked to the internet, the owner can purchase and legally download almost any album to their Ipod. Another revolutionary feature of Itunes is that a person can opt to download one particular song off an album without the hassle of going out and buying the whole cd for just one song. It is because of this that some people have argued that compact discs are now becoming obsolete.

Itunes has brought bands onto an even level of exposure as now people will equal chance to see an album from a well known band as from a underground band in one catalogue, rather than risking lack of availability in cd stores.
