The word Smart Phone is very popular nowadays, whether you’re 15 years old or 60 years old, everyone knows what a smart phone is. Does this mean phones are smarter than people? This can certainly be argued. Smart phones are not directly intelligent, but looked at as more of an intelligent device which aids people in their everyday lives. We live in a very advanced technological world in which without smart phones, we certainly wouldn’t be able to go on about our daily activities. Although you’ll get the random person in the background saying ‘I can live without a smart phone!’  You literally have everything at your fingertips via a mobile phone (well not water, oxygen or money) but you can look for the nearest shop, bank or hospital directly from your smart phone. The internet is something that is easily accessed on your smart phone, depending how fast you mobiles internet provider or WI-FI is; you’ll be able to view a website in just seconds. No need to look for a computer to do this anymore.
