If you were to jump into a time machine, and travel back one hundred years, life would be completely different. There wouldn’t be any TV, telephones or microwaves. There were no convenience stores, and your job would likely be extremely physical, leaving you exhausted at the end of every day. There are many convenient things and gadgets that we take for granted today.
If you compare the way we communicate today with the way we communicated twenty or even ten years ago, you would find a vast difference. The evolution of mobile phones has had a dramatic impact on our communications. In western society, almost everybody has a mobile phone. Even in countries where there is no electricity, people have mobile phones.
The mobile phones that were first developed and made available to the public were very basic. Only voice conversation, very limited coverage, and they were very expensive. Only rich people, and powerful executives had cell phones.
Of course today, mobile phones have many functions and features. Text messaging, GPS navigation, email, web browsing. Some services are even offering map guides, and helping you find ATM machines, convenience stores, hospitals, post offices, and many other popular destinations.
Of course, one major hang up to getting a mobile phone is that you need to have pretty good credit to qualify. If you have poor credit, you likely will either have to put up a huge cash deposit, or get rejected outright. That can be very embarrassing.
However, there is a way around this. Many more cell phone companies are offering what is called pay as you go plans. These are when you pay in cash ahead of time, for any minutes you think you’ll use in the future. When you run out of minutes, you simply make another payment. You can keep your minutes as long as you want to. If you don’t use them, you won’t have to pay for more. This is a good deal for businesses, as it allows them to attract more customers, and it’s a good deal for people with bad credit. A win-win situation for everybody involved.
