Cell Phone Empire

The cell phone has become a necesity among most Americans. We drive with them, check our email, watch videos on the internet, and manage stocks. All of this power within the palm of our hands. Some of us have become glued to these devices. They have become a distraction with benefits.
At first many people used the cell phones for emergencies, but outragous minute plans, and with the help of global transformation the cell phone industry became an empire. The world is more connected and as a result has become essentialy smaller.
The cell phone has also eliminated the importence of detail. When people talk on their phones they become distracted and often slow things down, forget things, break the law, come across as rude, and sometimes kill people.
How do you cope with a device so powerfull that it can connect to the other side of the world. It must be mannaged quickly and effectively. The cell phone companies have grown so big that there is barely enough competion to keep the prices down. And with the merger of AT&T and Cingular, and Verizon buying Altell the companies are able to jack the prices up as much as they want.
