Smartphone Collage II

The nickname "smartphone" is an accurate one; as each new cellular phone is introduced, it is more intelligent, more sophisticated, and more complex. These phones take our world to another level socially, as well as professionally, artistically, and by way of entertainment. Each new variety has an important addition- first text messaging, then internet, and eventually music and video. The main benefit to this combination of media is convenience for the user. It is now easy to access multitudes of information from one hand-held device. This helps to overcome geological barriers by enabling quick and easy communication despite any amount of distance, but it also heightens society's reliance on technology, more specifically on one particular medium. Many people have become so dependent on the convenience of a smartphone, they are now unable to function without it.
