The meaning of an iPhone in society today

In this post my focus is not in whether the iPhone is better or worst then any other competing multimedia devices available out there. My simple focus during this short post just about raising the question of what are the meanings associated with having an iPhone in today's society. Towards several people having an iPhone today represents your up to date, in our fast paced world. Not only that but several people worldwide attach several values to the iPhone, values which vary vastly, some believe the iPhone to represent: luxury, futuristic, style, practical, efficient, wealth and so on. However just like everything in the world, there are always two sides to the coin. There are also several people who believe the iPhone to be just an extraordinary well laid out marketing campaign, people who believe it is totally unnecessary, not worth the value, too big, overrated and so on. With both sides in mind I leave my readers to the following questions, how would you rate the iPhone and why? If possible also analyze how you would rate it without thinking about society and its values, instead just think about the technology is it really that revolutionary or not?

All in One



In a fast paced and changing world the iPhone, seems to fit all yours needs inside. What one has to understand is that the iPhone is so revolutionary not only because it brought forth several technologies together such as "gps, mp3, mp4, safari, and many others" however its biggest achievement was how Apple was able to make the user interface so simple to use. Therefore in our fast paced world, nothing is better in order for you to stay connected and up to date with everything that is going on around the globe such as the iPhone. The iPhone breaks down completely all notions of distance and time, if one has an iPhone today; one is able to be pratically anywhere instantly. I leave readers to the following question today what do you believe are the implications of always being connected, is it a good or a bad thing?
