Smartphones


About 6 months ago, I had to buy a new phone, so I decided to test out apples new iPhone. I was aware that it did many things that other phones could not. Even though I went into this purchase with the open mind that the iPhone was pretty crazy, I was still blown away. The amount of free and pay for applications that you can get for this phone is amazing. Last week I bought a two dollar application that lets me stream live audio of any police and fire station across the country. I could never imagine as of a couple years ago, this being possible. I catch myself listening in on the LAPD because they seem to have a lot of action all the time. In the past couple times listening, I have listened in on so many crazy murders and hostage situations. It blows my mind that I have the right to do this. I never thought technology would be this advanced. How much farther are we going to be able to go?
