The Smartphone is the new in gadget
of the era. This is the new cell phone
that is supposed to help a person organize and run their life more
efficiently. These new smart phones are
like miniature computers that can also send and receive phone calls. They can send and receive emails, go online
to look up information as well as store information. (Bae, 2011)
The
advantages to the Smartphone are that it is portable, convenient, and it is the
most important tool in social networking.
These features are what the companies are using to attract the people of
the new technological society that we have turned into. The new society that we have created is so
dependant on technology that it is difficult for people to be separated from
the technology. This is why the
Smartphone has become such a hot topic and a big seller. There are those that could not survive without
their Smartphone. (Bae, 2011)
There
are major issues with these phones and the concept that people can’t function
without this technology. The first issue
is that people rely so much on technology that their whole lives are available
and accessible to anyone who wants to search via this new technology. One
problem occurred with Apple, they were tracking their users’ information and
customer found out. This seems like an
invasion of privacy but people are putting their information out there and it
is just a matter of time for companies to take advantage of this
information. (Bae, 2011)
The
next issue is that, just like a computer, the Smartphone is subject to
viruses. This doesn’t seem that bad;
however, if you inadvertently get a virus on the phone and it destroys the
phone, it will not be covered under warranty and you have now lost the phone
and all information in the phone. This
can cause major stress for people as they rely on the information that is
stored in these high tech. phones.
The
key issues is that as people are relying on technology more and more, people
need to learn how to protect themselves and their information. People need to be aware of all the risks and
have back ups prepared if anything goes wrong.
People view this technology as a way saving time and securing
information in a fast and efficient method.
The problem is that people don’t realize that this technology can
actually open them up to less security and an easier way for people to lose
this information; after all the phones are small and compact and easily lost or
stolen.
As
society grows and develops, people need to understand this growth and
development. This means that people need
to adjust how they do things and how they protect themselves from the possible
misuse of these new developments. There
will always be new developments which mean people will always need to find new
ways of protecting themselves and their personal information. Everyone needs to be aware that the new
technology will also have new flaws that will take time to learn how to fix
those flaws. We need to remember that
nothing is an absolute perfect new development, for each new development there
is a new problem.
The
goal of this paper was to see if I should support the employees and help talk
the owner into getting a Smartphone, or if I should support the owner and get
the employees to back off of pressuring her to get the phone. I can state that knowing how concerned she is
about information getting stolen that I will be supporting the owner and
telling the employees to stay out of the situation. She is content with the phone she has and
they need to mind their own business.
