This is a fundamentally new way of communicating, only made possible by the robust connections provided by the internet and mobile communication technologies. To see how this democratization of power and communication can have genuine effects on the state itself, one may look at the protests in Greece following two devastating fires in 2007, in which simple SMS messages, copied and forwarded from phone to phone, resulted in protests that "affected and involved everyone within the citizenry regardless of age, social class, or political orientation" due to the fact the entire community was able to communicate and organize not through official, constricted channels, but via the superfluid transmission of information only made possible by emerging mobile communication technologies (Tsaliki 2010, p
The increasing reliance on cell phones for expanded communications services beyond direct communications has even generated complex constitutional concerns in relation to the Fourth Amendment in particular. That becomes an issue when law enforcement authorities take possession of cell phones that retain volumes of personal information and records of previous calls that may trigger search and seizure violations if they are "data mined" without a warrant issued by a court (Bulzomi, 2007)
A decade later, cell phones have become so common, affordable, and reliable that they have already begun replacing traditional land-lines for many users. Today, it is not uncommon for children to receive cell phones as early as middle school or grade school and by the time they are in high school, virtually all students who are not living at or below the poverty line have a cell phone long before they reach their senior years (Corbett, 2008)
As a result, the increasing complexity of movies, television, and computer-based gaming all contribute to intellectual development by stimulating correspondingly complex neural networking in response to the external stimuli provided by more complex entertainment and communication experiences made possible by the wide availability of affordable modern technology (Johnson, 2005). Changing Telephone Habits in American Society Cellular Telephones As recently as the early 1990s, cellular telephones were still an expensive, high-end novelty item that were largely impractical for personal use because of their cost, their size, and the relative unavailability of any signal (Evans, 2004)
However, there is one particular aspect of cell phone use, overuse, and addiction that actually presents a verifiable public danger whose importance goes far beyond social politeness or consideration: namely, cell phone use while driving. Cell Phones and Driving Cell phone use has been empirically demonstrated to increase the chances of vehicular accidents as much as drunk driving (Hennessy & Wiesenthal, 2005)
Finally, like other activities that provide a pleasure component, cell phones also have the potential to become addictive for some users through some of the same neurological mechanisms detailed by Johnson in connection with the positive aspects of modern media and entertainment technologies in society. The Premise of Johnson's Thesis The basic premise of Johnson's work is that like most other elements of contemporary society, even modern entertainment has become considerably more complex than it used to be, including even the plots of television programs that are widely considered to have little redeeming social value beyond gratuitous entertainment (Johnson, 2005)
Whereas twenty years ago nobody seemed to think that pay telephones were insufficient for their communication needs when outside of their homes, today, few people who own cell phones leave their homes without them. Second, again, as is also the case with other social trends (and short-term fads) perception plays a very significant role in establishing what the average person considers "normal" or "necessary" (Myers & Spencer, 2004)
This reliance can also be used as a form of social display for the specific purpose of impressing others, which seems to explain why so many cell phone users tend to talk inappropriately loud in public when using cell phones (Myers & Spencer, 2004). Social Responsibility and Public Consideration That particular aspect of cell phone use has generated various policies in restaurants and other public places because so many people seem to ignore what would otherwise be relatively obvious aspects of common sense and mutual consideration of other people when in public (Wolff, 2007)
Unfortunately, the United States has not followed international trends that recognize the dangers of cell phone and driving and pass legislation to prevent them. On November 1, 2001, New York became the first state only state to date in this country to ban the use of handheld cell phones while driving (McDonough, 2001)
Many views and legislation regarding cell phones and driving makes the inaccurate assumption that the source of any interference from cell phone use is due only to peripheral factors such as dialing and holding the phone while conversing. However, a study conducted by University of Utah researchers of on the simulated driving performance of sixty-four individuals showed otherwise (Strayer, Drews, Albert and Johnston, 2001)
Wireless telecommunication technologies are rapidly becoming a significant concern in regard to highway safety (Sundeen, 2001)
In another instance, Samsung staff identified Apple customers who had raised concern or complaints about their iPhones on Twitter, and sent them an unlocked, free Samsung S. To replace their Apple device (Moth, 2013)
Indeed, many young people even sleep with their cell phones today (Florell, 2011). Some of these young cell phone users have experienced problems, including most especially inappropriate usage in and out of school (Charles, 2012)
Some of these young cell phone users have experienced problems, including most especially inappropriate usage in and out of school (Charles, 2012). In response, there have been growing calls for more parental oversight in the children's cell phone usage in recent years (Dixon, 2009), a need the company can help fill at a reasonable price
Description of the high differentiated business-level strategy and how it aligns with high differentiation plus value creating By providing parents with "peace of mind" concerning their children's cell phone usage, the company can charge a premium price while still developing a competitive advantage. Growing numbers of young people are using cell phones and these numbers of projected to continue in the future (Florell, 2011)
Alternative Methods A cell phone's physical elements can be examined for ascertaining whether or not it might be employed in the form of a weapon. While relatively simple and basic, the authority granted by the Supreme Court for physical investigation of a potential offender's cell phone functions as a safeguard, protecting the law enforcer, often an investigator or responding officer, from instant and apparent harm (Moore, et
