Blog Post #7 : Diffusion of Innovations

    The innovation that I picked is the cell phone. Phones are a technology/innovation that has changed so much over time. It is widely used by people all over the world. Phones are constantly get renovated and enhanced. 

    There was a point in time where phones did not exist yet. These people had no idea what technological gadget would change the world as we know it. Now, people could not survive without their phone. A person's phone holds all their information, pictures, videos, text messages, etc. This however, is both a good and bad thing. It would be so bad if someone ends up stealing a person's phone. The stealer could either wipe the phone clean or sell all your private information.

    The first cell phone was created in 1973. At this time you were only able to make a phone call for a maximum of 30 minutes. Martin Cooper was the lucky person to be known as the very first call on the cell phone. Since the cell phone was so brand new, the price was obviously very expensive. Back then you were able to buy the cell phone for $3,995 at the time. Today this price would equal $10,000. That is way too expensive for my liking.

    Some people, to this day, do not own a cell phone. This statement shocks so many people. It is 2023. You would think that by now everyone would have a cell phone. Some people just do not feel the need to carry one around everywhere. Without a cell phone people are able to appreciate the world around us more. Looking down at a screen all day takes us away from the beautiful creations that are right in front of us. We could miss out on what life has to offer. 

    There are definitely so many positives from owning a cell phone. Communicating with people is so much easier and efficient now. From owning a cell phone I am able to send a text to my cousin in a different country! Cellphones allow for us to keep our relationship and are able to stay up to date in each other's lives. Cell phones are also a great way to stay safe. You are able to share your location with friends and family. This way your loved ones know exactly where you are at all times. Cell phones also allow for you to call 911 in an emergency situation. Cell phones are designed to keep us safe. They have made a great impact on so many people's life. It has definitely changed my life so much.
