I want a smartphone.
It is as simple as that. I want a smartphone - no - need a smartphone.
Why do I need one? Simply because everyone around me sports one. And also because I don't want to be left behind.
Anywhere I go, any where I see people around - I see them on their smartphones. When you sit for lunch at work, you have a gang of people sitting at the next table, sharing interesting snippets out of their smartphones. At another table, a bunch of guys sit huddled together making conversations with people across the planet and sharing loudly cheers, jeers and exchanging high fives. A group at another table is competing on a smartphone app - everyone is sitting a little apart and is jerking or making sudden moves in response to what is on their screen. Suddenly, one of them loses and seeing the eyes glued to the screens, goes around putting a finger and dragging it to a random edge, making everyone lose the game at the table, with loud protests. Another table has food getting cold on it but the people are deep in discussion with people around the world connected through their smartphones.
The world has become a crowded web with the advent of smartphones. Everyone owns one and is well-connected. Besides keeping people connected even better than with a regular cellphone, everyone is more occupied thanks to the smartphone - countless apps have people with their fingers glued to their smartphone screens. They are either playing games, writing out chapters of novels that may never publish or making their shopping lists for the upcoming discounts sale.
And the smartphone industry has become one that causes heads to turn - there have been so many businesses that have opened channels into the smartphone by creating or publishing a dedicated app for speciality stores or online tools. Some businesses have their loyalty programs on the smartphone app and therefore, reach customers faster with ads and with rewards. Some even have payments enabled via the app - this means customers simply use the app to pay at the stores. Totally saves using the cash or credit card. The industry is also one where acquisitions and mergers have been up and coming, each pricier than the one before.
The smartphone is a very personal device as well - it is like that one single portable device on which everyone performs their daily calls and texts in addition to several other everyday tasks. And for my desire, my need, to own one, I finally did buy myself my first smartphone on 17 March, 2013 and my second on 5 February, 2014. There is a need to upgrade to keep up with the times, you know.
