The Wonderful Future of Cell Phones

The popularity of the mobile phones is constantly on the rise like a snow ball. There are numerous reasons for that and they are well beyond mere communicating with each other.

The development of the cell phones and technology in the past decade along with social and cultural processes as well as sharp decrease in prices contributed to their phenomenon success.

Cell phones have long become a symbol of status as well as a fashion statement. Some manufacturers have started to produce special designed phones for women. Other models are designed with interchangeable facades to cater for the youngsters. A lot of young people are transferring their instant-messaging habits to their cell phones.

The integration of so many different functionalities and technologies into the cell phones is more impressive and beneficial than the all-in-one office devices that integrated a scanner, a copier, a fax and a printer into a single compact space saving multifunctional machine.

The current generation of G-2.5 technology as well as the very near future G-3 units that are starting to emerge right now will carry in it so many functions which are mind blowing. These new Cell phones are going to be a multimedia center, a mobile office, a navigation device GPS (Global Positioning system), a computer with fast Internet access, a text messenger, a high resolution camera and video, a watch, a calculator, a PDA, an MP3 music player, TV and a Wallet! Yes, we will be able to pay with it for things we today pay with coins like vending soda or coffee machines as well as for parking space, trains and buses tickets etc'. It has become our "Swiss Army Knife"...

In Israel they used the cell phone to send SMS message and approval for one dollar donation payment for needy children. I guess that in the future it will be a legitimate tool for voting in contests and may be even in Elections.

Writing in the Wall Street Journal, an executive for a wireless company noted that "in Slovakia, people are using mobile phones to remotely switch on the heat before they return home," and in Norway, "1.5 million people can confirm their tax returns" using cell phone short text messaging services. Paramedics use camera phones to send ahead to hospitals pictures of the incoming injuries; "in Britain, it is now commonplace for
wireless technology to allow companies to remotely access meters or gather diagnostic information." Construction workers on-site can use cell phones to send pictures to contractors off-site. Combined with the individual use of cell phones--to make appointments, locate a friend, check voicemail messages, or simply to check in at work--cell phones offer people
an unknown level of convenience. (Source: The New Atlantis - Article by Christine Rosen).

Other interesting applications are providing a locating service of your friends, or in other words if one of your friends is very close to where you are right now an SMS massage can alert you of this fact.

Cell phones and Dating Services

Several companies now offer a way to flirt and meet people anonymously. These services offer cell-to-cell texting and PC-to-cell texting. (Text-messaging phones also can receive messages sent over the Internet from a PC.) Companies including UPOC (Universal Point of Contact) and SMS.ac allow users to fill out a profile as they would at any dating service (some dating sites are dabbling with texting) and then search for an ideal match. Profiles can include photos and can be accessed either with a picture-enabled cell phone or through a PC. Say you want to meet a 20- to 30-year-old man in Orlando who is interested in hiking. Do a search and three names pop up. You can send one a text message without ever exposing your phone number

Cell phones as safety devices

One of the main reasons the cell phones have become so wide spread nowadays is that besides convenience it is perceived as a security and safety aid, Parents provide their children with mobile phones in order to track their whereabouts, to make sure they arrived safely to their destinations, to give them a mobile phone to report in real time when in any sort of trouble.

Many women feel much safer in the street knowing they can call for help when in need.

How The Ibex Or Steinbock Almost Became Extinct In The Ecrins Massif National Park, France

The near extinction of the ibex in Serre Chevalier

Whilst hiking in the Ecrins Massif National Park in France, cast an eye up the slopes and you may spot a chamois or ibex. Consider yourself lucky if you do, as this wonderful creature could have easily become extinct just a few years ago.

Interestingly despite a previously big population the ibex became virtually extinct in this area less than 200 years ago.

This was due to a number of reasons.

Its meat was valuable food (just as the plentiful marmots, which would be dug out of their burrows in the autumn!),
the ibex horns were considered a glorious trophy
there is a cross-shaped piece of ossified cartilage in its heart that was popular as a good-luck charm.
In 1820, there were only 90 ibex left in the Alps, all of them in the Italian Royal hunting reserves. All of todays ibex come from this stock, which first of all provided Switzerland and then France in a program set up after the War. The first release took place on April 26 1959 and consisted of two animals that were traded in by the Swiss in exchange for a few beavers from the Rhone Valley. The two stags released in the Combeynot massif soon crossed the river to settle on the Cerces slopes, where they found a more suitable habitat with high cliffs, shelter from wind coming from different directions and forests for hiding in the winter. Two females and another two males joined them in October 1960 and thus the cycle of life could begin anew. In 1978 eighty ibex were confidently counted, but poaching, human disturbance and the presence of the Army all contributed to reducing the number to 23 in 1986...Thankfully, in 1992, numbers had risen again to near 60.

Today, the ibex is solidly in place and is even starting to migrate. Considering its history, seeing an ibex in its natural habitat is a privilege and should prompt us to respect its quiet wildness.
