Cellular phone, another very popular media outlet has been around for a number of decades. The phone when they were first offered as a retail item for the regular consumer was much larger than they are now. Though it does appear that the Droid phone or Iphone is much bigger than the cell phone was just a few years ago, it has slimmed down some. Cell phones are a part of most households and there are some people who no longer have a landline or home telephone any longer. To cut down on expenses it made sense to only have one phone bill to pay. What is so great about the cell phone is that there is no long distance rates to worry about, of course as long as it’s within the plan, which is determined when it’s purchased. The convenience of always being able to communicate with others is phenomenal, but could be annoying to some. “In a recent poll, a majority of Americans said the cell phone is the invention they most hate but can’t live without” (Improving Business Communications Skills, 2006) The cell phone has many features such as a calculator, camera, video, radio and it even surfs the internet if its included within the plan. Cell phones are owned by people of all ages. There are prepaid services and there are those that offer contracts. It’s a geat way to stay connected to just about anyone in any part of the world. I consider it to be one of the greatest media outlets ever created.
