Changes in social Interaction
This phone is good enough because you can text and call people so you
no longer have to organize meetings in an office. People can also
communicate on the move by calling and text messaging. Also on this
phone you would be able to go on the internet and use email while you’re
not at home because of 3G.
Environment and health issues
Concerns that radiation from wireless equipment may damage the health.
There has been no evidence of any damage from radiation. There should
be caution while on a phone not to use it to much.
Security of personal data
This phone would be a pretty easy target for thieves because the
protection software on the phone is not up to date so people can hack
through your software easily. The Bluetooth could probably be easily
hacked also.
Blackberry Messenger
There are good and bad things about BBM (blackberry messenger). One
good point is that you can message people anywhere around the world if
you have them in your contacts list; with each message being sent for free
(as long as you have it which costs £5 a month on PAYG or is included in
many contracts). This is good because it lets you keep in touch with many
people no matter their location as long as they have BBM and since it is
an IM; it means messages are sent instantly to the other person saving
time. Another good point is that you can send multimedia messages which
can include pictures and voice messages. You can also pick from a wide
range of emoticons to suit your needs. This ensures communication is not
only limited to texts but pictures, voice messages and emoticons. One
more good point is that you can update your personal message like a
status on Face book so everybody in your contacts list can see it. This is
good because it means you are able to communicate with many people
sending out a single message rather than doing a very large group
conversation depending on the amount of contacts you have. Carrying on
the point about a group conversation, this is another good point about
BBM because it means you are not limited to have a conversation with just
one other person. In addition to this, on BBM you can send other files such
as music. This is good because (as already mentioned about voice
messages, emoticons and picture messages) it means you are able to
communicate in various ways.
Then there are some bad points. These include things like; BBM can
be used to organize crime. An example of this is the London Riots in which
many people were taking advantage of the BB’s encrypted security to set
up groups of people to loot shops. Another bad point is at times, sending
messages can be very slow and the BBM servers are often down such as a
few months ago for about a week causing a lot of frustration. Furthermore,you have to pay on pay as you go as mentioned, £5 a month which is
quite a lot in a year especially considering it was free before and other IM
services such as iMessage0 too. Some other bad points include, it doesn’t
support cross platform which means you can only communicate with
blackberries. Moreover, there are good alternatives to BBM which can do
just as much and maybe more costing a lot less. A good example of one is
WhatsApp messenger which is available to Nokia's, I phone's, Blackberries
and Androids; in addition to that you can talk to anyone around the world
as much as you want on different platforms. It costs yearly about 69p and
the first year is free on Android. Another bad thing is that some people
can put fake names so you might not know who you are talking to which
can be a problem of security/personal data because you might say
something that was meant to be for someone else.
