The must-have accessory for the new century?
Today’s society is based around communication. All over the world, every second of the day people are communicating. This type of phenomenon is possible because of such inventions as cellular phones. Since the beginning of human existence our societal evolution has been contributed largely in part to the advancements in communication. Technological advancements such as spoken and written language are consider tremendous stepping stones of human evolution. Cellular technology has the capability to become the next stepping stone of societal evolution. The market demographic and demand for cellular technology are both very high which means the advancements will only continue. As we progress into the 21st century communication is becoming more of a necessity. Everyone from the corporate big-wig to the high school student are using wireless technology to communicate.

An advancement that Cooper himself has not even pondered is a disposable cellular phone. Engineer Randi Altschul believes that, “the cell phone has revolutionized the telecommunications industry…(and that it is)…now time to revolutionized the cell phone” (Kassman). Altschul, a toy maker believes that her idea for a disposable cell phone came from her frustrations with malfunctioning cell phones.

When the customer had finished their minutes they could simply dispose of the cell phone. Telecommunications executive Mr. Segermark says, “the disposable phone is just one of many novelties to come” (Kassman). Altschul’s idea is more of a reality than decade. The extended future of cellular technology and wireless services is relatively unknown. There are several individuals who have insight on its immediate future; Martin Cooper, the inventor of cellular phone, is still not satisfied with his work. His dream is for the phone to be, “so small that it fits behind a person’s ear, automatically dials out when he thinks about calling someone and it notifies him of incoming calls with a tickle instead of a ring” (Wired
