Why Have A Phone But Never Pick It Up ?

Posted by Huge on 2nd March 2010

Alright this is just one of those subject that don’t apply to everyone, but you’ll probably end up in this situation at some point. Mobile phones are used for mobile telecommunication (assisted transmission of signals over a distance for the purpose of communication to or from a mobile device). However some people just seem to missed the purpose for this technology, mobile phones to some people are not for the purpose of communication but are an accessory. It’s become a fashion statement, it’s something that is used just to show and in some circumstance give an illusion of having a high social status.

Now the reason I wanted to write this blog is because, today when I left my Graphics lesson to go to lunch i tried to call my friend who did not pick up her phone. I have a free lesson after lunch that i thought would be very brilliant to use for filming some Media work, however i could not get a hold of her. So i tried another friend, she did not pick up/text back either and another, and another. Non of them picked up but one texted back and this make me think why have a mobile phones but never actually using it when it’s needed ? Or having a phone but never picking up just using it as gaming device, camera, entertainment etc.

Yes a mobile phone is not only build for calling but also have additional services, and accessories, such as SMS for text messaging, email, packet switching for access to the Internet, gaming, Bluetooth, infrared, camera with video recorder and MMS for sending and receiving photos and video, MP3 player, radio and GPS. However those are only accessories to the main function of the mobile phone, which is to allow you to communicated wirelessly where ever you go ( within the coverage distance ). No one seems to be using it only for this purpose anymore.

Having a mobile phone myself I know that me personally I only use it mainly for calling, texting and emailing (communication). So I think that people to have fancy looking phone that have 1.7GHz processor, or a multi touch function on their touch screen , or an App that can tell them what the cat is saying needs to know the real purpose of having this device. But not to have it only so they can say “Look at this awesome App I got” or ” Look my phone is faster than your computer.” I want it to be use as a mobile telecommunication device not a fashion statement. This way when someone really needs you they can get a hold of you, rather than panicking over the fact that they need to do the work but doesn’t have the people they need to do the work with there.
