Although the cell phone is slowly becoming an integral part of the landscape of life, one must know how to use it. Treat it as a work tool and nothing more than that, otherwise it will become more than a nuisance and perhaps also have destructive effects.

The behavior pattern associated with the cell phone, which is constantly gaining momentum, is its transformation into a body-hugging accessory that you cannot go without. This is done by wearing it around the neck like a pendant or in a holster attached to the pants belt. The many uses that are made of it in all areas of life also contribute to this. The new technologies, by their very nature, open up Its users have additional purposes that anchor it more and more as a device that cannot be done without.
State-of-the-art technologies incorporated into the phone are the keyboard and the TV camera, and these together give journalists a new tool. A journalist who happens to be caught up in an event of news value or who arrives at an event of media significance such as a press conference or in contrast to a terrorist attack, can immediately broadcast photographs from the scene and prepare an article that is broadcast to the newspaper. For the first time, a report in the written press is possible in real time. All that remains for the editor in the system is to integrate the article on the spot The appropriate one. This is a new breed of journalists. Other professionals who can make similar use of this tool are field personnel such as salespeople, employees The electric company, etc., who, upon completion of the work, can prepare an immediate report and transmit it to the office. It is likely that the workers will have to go to the office itself to polish their report, but the effect of immediacy remains here, which is very important regarding the continuation of the work plan.
Another group of employees are the managers who are often outside the office. As a result, they give up the services of the secretary or the assistant manager. They call directly to the people they work for and can directly receive calls from these parties. It is clear that the functional definition of the secretary or assistant manager is changing. But this way of working has a disadvantage. The secretary or the RLSH also serves as a filter. They can reject people who knock on the manager's door or postpone the date of his meetings with various parties to a later date. The manager who uses the cell phone during his frequent trips receives calls at inconvenient times or from people whom for various reasons he does not wish to see or whose meetings with them should be held at a later date. For these managers the cell phone is considered double edged sword.
Another group of people for whom the device is very important are those who suffer from chronic medical problems and who need to be constantly monitored. There is no reason why it should not be possible with the help of these phones to perform medical tests such as pulse, blood pressure, sugar, etc. at any time and wherever they are are present in order to be able to give them the appropriate treatment. Additional technologies will allow in the future to turn this phone into a medical laboratory in Za'ari Anpin.
Different from them, new social groups are developing and to the groups that demand the cellular information. These are people who want to keep up to date with all the innovations concerning the cellular phone. Those who are similar to them are those who subscribe to magazines that specialize in cars, even though they are not professionals, but the very knowledge of what is happening in this field brings them excitement and often they will want to share their experiences with others. These are freaks of all kinds. For those interested in cell phones, the update is in real time. For the freaks of the car world, keeping up-to-date finds its expression in visiting exhibitions and reading articles accompanied by photographs. They cannot buy the cars because their prices are beyond their financial capacity. On the other hand, the cell phone is an available device that can be upgraded or equipped with a new phone that includes all the new developments.
For those interested in technological developments of all kinds, the news about these developments has a technologically exciting value. The sometimes obsessive pursuit of this information indicates that he has spared and a need, even if he is not aware, to control the information. Those for whom this phenomenon is particularly noticeable are those people who hold more than one cell phone in their hand and often it will be possible to see them using several phones at the same time. These are mainly field workers and managers who are on the move. For them, knowledge is of functional value. Is it essential for them to know everything? Or are they overloading themselves with too much information? Beyond functionality, the use of multiple phones can be a status symbol for them. They create the impression that they are of high social or organizational importance. They talk to everyone and at the same time everyone is looking for them. The remaining obsession with information can become an addiction. A situation can also arise in which they will have several phones in their pockets or near them and switch from one phone to another. If the phones ring at the same time, they don't know what to do, who to answer immediately, who not and who to leave on hold. They become a caricature of themselves.
The people who can use the phone to a large extent are families. All family members have cell phones and everyone communicates with everyone else, and this has quite a few advantages. When one family member is shopping, the other family member can give him a reminder to buy various items that have been identified as missing and there is no need to make a special exit To do this. Worried parents can verify where their children are and be reassured that they are in a safe place or that the children call and inform that they will be home later, thus preventing them from unnecessary worries. The use of the telephone in these cases has a functional purpose. But what happens when the wife calls her husband who is away from home at any moment and asks him to buy something extra or vice versa? The too frequent use in this case can indicate some kind of problem in the psychological communication between them. Or parents who ask their children to let them know, for example, every hour where they are. The opposite and troubling case is a situation where the children are in their rooms and instead of leaving them when they want to talk to their parents, they do so only through the cell phone. The massive use of the cell phone can indicate cracks in the family ties and turn them into mobile families.
Although the cell phone is slowly becoming an integral part of the landscape of life, one must know how to use it. Treat it as a work tool and nothing more, otherwise it will become more than a nuisance and possibly have destructive effects.
