Pick one concept from the assigned reading that you found useful or interesting and discuss it.

The one concept I find useful or interesting to discuss is “Mobile Telephony.”
Trenholm argues, “Cell phones can be used to send and retrieve network information…Now access to the Internet is available anytime, anywhere” (Trenholm 2008, pg. 330).

Steve Jobs has taken the iPhone to the next level. With it I am able to use it not only as a phone, but for text messaging, as a Blackberry I can retrieve my emails when I travel, I can listen to my music while on a flight, I can surf the web for the weather in the city I will be traveling to, etc. I love all the high technology. It not only makes my life easier, but what I love about it is the iPhone is so compact. Believe me, when you have to travel, it is nice to be able to pack as efficient as one can.

  1. Hi Paris,
    I found your post really interesting. I do not own an iphone so I am not familiar with all the technologies it offers. I think it is great to be able to get the information you need right away. A few weeks ago someone cut the major phone lines in the Gilroy and Morgan Hill area. I did not realize how much we relied on this phone and computer technology until I did not have access to it. I could not contact anyone by phone, neither cell or landline, not could I get on the internet to see what was going on. I think technology is awesome but fear we sometimes rely to much on it.
