Litreature Review

For my assignment, I have chosen to look into the effects of how mobile phones have changed our society, community and way of thinking. I have been researching my essay using a variety of different resources and mediums such as newspapers, books, research papers and online.

Young adults say their mobile phone is more important to them than television (Sorensen 2006) is one of the conclusions into a study of how mobile phones have changed people’s lives in the UK. Nowadays society relies upon their mobile devices for far more than making simple phone calls – smart phones are a bigger part of consumers’ lives than ever before. Just how much of our lives now rely on mobile communication devices? Mobile phones are not simply just devices for making phone calls – technology has enabled us to have powerful, feature rich applications, features at our fingertips.
What would happen if we lost all mobile communication? What would be the detrimental effect on real life in the 21st century? Just like sliced bread, mobile phones have become something which we as humans can’t live without.
