The evolution of the cell phone in the past twenty years is astonishing. At first, cell phones were obnoxious and unreliable items, but now are accessible and dependable devices. Cell phone usage has become so much more than calling a friend or family member from anywhere in the world; they have become a main source for entertainment. With the explosion of social media and technology continuously advancing, cell phones are now the gateway to a whole new form of communication and enjoyment.
