The cell phone made it easier to communicate. Phones with wires became too cumbersome. Wireless phones became the talk of the town. Corny joke, huh? Anyway, it's hard to find anyone on the street without a cell phone! So many have one that no one can be left out of the fun and convenience.
In addition, cell phones along with other technologies have been incorporated in pop culture. Texting is mentioned in songs, but is also associated with driving accidents, mainly in the teen population. Cell phones are in the news everyday, upgrading and become smaller and better in quality.
