iPhone Questions

1. Are you or people you know less likely to buy any of the products listed as a result of the development of smart phones?


2. In general, do you think it is an advantage or a disadvantage to have so many of your technological functions in a single device?
Disadvantage: Maybe, if one depends completely on that one single device, for obvious reasons. If that one device breaks, all functions and conveniences are simultaneously gone.

3. How have smart phones improved our lives?
Smart phones have combined many modern day conveniences and delivered them in a small handheld package.



4. What do you think has been the most important invention of your lifetime? How do your answers compare with the most important inventions of your parents’, grandparents or great-grandparents’ lifetimes?
In terms of technology, I think Wi-Fi/mobile internet has proved to be pretty helpful. People now have the freedom to access information from wherever they are. For my parents and grandparents, I would say a series of medical advancements from the 40's and on. 



5. “There are plenty of studies which insist that smart phones will begin to replace the PC as the common vehicle for accessing the Internet.” Do you agree? If so, does this mean PCs are on their way out? Would you ever stop using them?
I agree only with the condition that a person is understood to spend more time outside their house than inside. Usage of smart phones to access the internet has become ubiquitous because of the convenient service that it offers regardless of activity and location. PCs will still be necessary for other computer applications.

6. Do you have any need for TVs, radios, and other devices, rather than just using your computer for everything? Would you ever want to use your phone as a TV or radio? What are the barriers to either of these things happening? 
TVs aren't being replaced  by smartphones yet. The thing with watching your shows on a device like a smartphone is that you have to know what you want before you watch it. The freedom of a t.v is that you don't have to, and aren't wasting precious time waiting for a new video to load as you're surfing channels.
