November 2001, AT&T launched a groundbreaking addition to the mobile phone community. Text messaging became public and was on the rise to popularity. This new technology opened doorways in the design and capabilities of cell phones. As texting became more popular throughout the years, inventions to aid texters were developed. T9(predictive text) and full keyboards integrated into cell phones made sending messages much easier. As more and more updates became prominent, more options opened up in the world of texting. For example, cameras built into cell phones made it possible to send and receive pictures and videos. The mobile communication field has come along way since text messaging was introduced. Cell phones are now a huge part of human culture. We crave innovation and are always wanting what is cool and trendy in the world of technology.
As of today, a phone with only texting and picture/video messaging is a thing of the past. Smart phones are in demand now. With the full power of the Internet, custom applications, music and your favorite social networking sites at your fingertips, smart phones are becoming a very popular and very useful piece of technology. You can now, post blog updates, send e-mails, and instant message instead of just texting. Mobile technology has become much more advanced in the past few years and it's only going to get better.
