Iphones

iPhone: Diffusion Theory 

During my lifetime, I have seen the progression of many different types of cell phones, all of them all in different shapes and sizes, but most of them were not touch screen yet unless you were one of the extremely wealthy at the time, until the iPhone came out in 2007. This had created an easy way to access the internet without paying an arm and a leg for every use, because you only paid a one time fee for the phone with the internet included. For the reason of how cheap and easy it was to gain access to the internet, Apple really saw a spike from then on in their company. Many people saw this as a new beginning of technology and created mass popularity all over the globe. Mostly the younger generations were the biggest fans because they were growing with the technology coming out, which gave them a little more of an advantage to someone who had relearn new techniques of life to come accustom to the new norms awaiting as technology develops. I still see many people who don't use iPhones but other smart phones, but really that's based on preference, all the phones are basically the same just with different software layouts and designs. The only people who don't want anything to do with iPhones or smartphones in general are people who want limited communication, or don't feel it's necessary for all the bells and whistles phones nowadays come with. Smartphones did change our life for the good by advancing communications and different outlets to access things, but it also decreased our time to be social in actual social settings instead of being behind a screen.
