Mobile Phone of the Youth Now and Then
Times goes by and many things are changing, as what others say that “The only permanent in this world is change.” Mobile phones are one of the things that almost all the people have. The youth is one of the most common users of mobile phone then and until now. Years go by and I think many things had change in mobile phones and how it is used. The mobile phones of the youth then are very different from the mobile phone of the youth now in terms of the camera and its usage, accessibility, and its special features.
First, one of the most used of the youth now in mobile phone is the camera. As the times goes by cameras and their usage changed. Only some of the mobile phones of the youth then had cameras but almost all mobile phones of the youth now have. Unlike the youth then, the youth now are buying phones with cameras so that they can take photos and because almost all the phones have cameras. The youth then used cameras in important matters only, while the youth now use it in not so important things. The youth then are only capturing photos if there is something beautiful or amazing, and sometimes taking photos with their families so that they have family picture in their phones while the youth now take selfies in about 10 times a day and sometimes take a photo of what is in the board in the school because it is easier that writing it down. The mobile phone cameras of the youth the then has low pixels, unlike the cameras of the mobile phone of the youth now have high pixels. The photos of the youth then are blurred because of their cameras have low pixels ranges 1.5MP, while the photos of the youth now are in HD because of their phone camera’s high pixels raging 8 to 13MP.
Second, is the accessibility of mobile phones, on how did they control or accessing their mobile phones. The youth then used keypads while the youth now use to touch only the screen. The youth then were just pressing the keypads button to do something on their phones but the youth now just touch the screen and sometimes they just wipe their hand and they were able to slide the picture because of the phone sensor. The youth then can only generate or run their password using keypads while the youth now generates their password by speaking and by the use of their finger prints. The youth then only used words and numbers but the youth now use their voice and finger prints. It is amazing that their phone will only open if they are the ones to speak and if they only use their finger print that is not similar to anybody. The youth then are not able to capture on what is in the screen of their phones but the youth now can screen capture by simply shaking the phone. If the youth then receive a very important message they can only write it in the paper to have a copy of it but the youth now can screen capture to have another copy of the important message.
And lastly, the special features of the mobile phones of the youth then and the youth now. When they don’t have load or music on their phone, the youth then are entertained though the phones games. And because times goes by special features of mobile phones are updated. In mobile phone of the youth then they only have snake as their game, while the mobile phone of the youth now is different because the phones now have many games and applications. The youth then were only entertained by playing snake that is only controlled by left, right, down and up buttons but now the youth are entertained in many games that are hard to play and can be played /controlled by flipping the phone or by the many buttons on the screen. The youth then can only use one sim card per phone but the youth now can use two sim cards per phone at the same time. The youth then only use one sim card because that was the number of sim card that their phone can acquire and if they want to use two sim cards or if they want to have two mobile numbers then they should buy another phone while the youth now can use or have two mobile numbers with different network in one phone at the same time. The youth then are not able to use or access wifi or internet in their mobile phone but now almost all mobile phones can use wifi or internet. The youth then may not know what wifi is while the youth now are enjoying wifi or internet every time by the use of computer and of course by the use of mobile phones.
These prove that things are changing and made better and greater, so we should always appreciate the things now. Everything is made easy to use, like the mobile phones that the youth now are using. So now it was evidently proven that the mobile phone of the youth now is very different and upgraded from the mobile phones of the youth then. However, let’s not forget how it is in the past because it is where our present came and where our future will come.
