The smartphone has only been around for just about a decade, but people cannot even seem to recall how life was before they came along or how life would be if they weren’t there at all. The smartphone can be used in so many ways and comes with lots of benefits that have improved lives. Let us take a look at the benefits of owning a smartphone
Many Ways to Communicate
People who have been around long enough can recall a time when you couldn’t even tell who 
was calling you until you answered the phone. Calling and texting were pretty much the only communication options. Today, however, the smartphone enables you to call and send messages through different platforms like emails and social media application. Video calling has also been made possible, and you can see the person that you are talking to however far they may be. You can even be able to hold a conference call just as long as you have a smartphone.
The Internet
For people who own smartphones, the days when you needed to have a desk computer connected with wires to have access to the web are just a memory. Wireless connections came along, and with no time, if you had a smartphone you could easily access the internet wherever you were. Be it at home or the gym or even at the park, as long as you had cellular coverage then you were good to go.
A Great Merger
People needed a whole bag to carry all the devices that they needed to use during the day at one point in time in life. Before the smartphone came along, you needed to carry a camera, a GPS device, and even a mp3 player if you needed all of them during your day. Having a smartphone means that you get to have all of these tools and functions put together into one device that is easily portable.
So Many Applications
Hundreds and thousands of apps have been created specifically to be used on the smartphone. Years back if someone told you that you could use your phone to measure your heart rate you would find that very funny because it was unimaginable at the time. Right now you can have keep track of calories you lose and watch the news or listen to your radio, send pictures and songs and videos and even tell direction with the compass all because the smartphone was invented.
