Goring http://www.unlocks.co.uk The mobile telecommunications revolution is probably the single biggest event in history since the industrial revolution. We cannot ignore the fact that the ability to communicate, no matter where we are in the world, is essential to every aspect of our lives. The introduction of mobile telecommunications all those years ago signalled the beginning of an industry which is among the biggest in the world, and continues to grow at a rapid rate with a large percentage of the world population now owning some kind of mobile telecommunications device. Recently, we have seen the introduction of more advanced devices, streaming video over mobile networks, camera phones, multimedia messaging, java games, Bluetooth capability etc. All of these introductions have increased the popularity of mobile telecommunications, and every day people rush to purchase the latest device to replace their old, out-of-date device. I am a firm believer in technological advancements and the rapid progression of the mobile telecommunications industry, after all I do make a living from the industry myself. However, I sometimes worry about the personal implications involved in our obsession with this form of communication. Since purchasing my very first mobile phone many years ago, I have noticed a changing pattern in my personal communication skills. My mother lives only a two minute walk from my home. I talk with her every day, yet I rarely visit her home. There is no doubt that mobile telecommunications have played a big part in reducing my ability to communicate with others on a more personal level. So what is my point? The use of mobile devices is now an important part of our everyday lives, and there is no doubt that in many ways they do indeed improve certain aspects of the way we live, work and communicate. However we need to understand that mobile communications should never be allowed to replace the good old fashioned face-to-face chat.
