Can iPhones be beneficial for everything and everyone on a daily use?

What is the tool?

IPhone is a technoligical device that is Apple's first Internet-enabled smartphone. It combines the feature of a mobile phone, wireless Internet and an ipod all into one package. It has a 3.5inch multitouch screen that can be viewed in landscape, or portrait mode, with the screen automatically shifting based on the angle that the phone is held at. This tool is based on touch, rather than a keyboard, mouse or stylus. It can be manipulated by two finger touches, rather than just one, which makes typing a whole lot easier.



How can it be used?

iPhone can be used at home, at work, at school and virtually everywhere. A user can surf the web, send and receive emails, launch applications, play games, text friends, book tickets, listen to music and make calls! If there is any information a user might need its right there in their phone. There are tons of application that will help a user find what they are looking for. For example, a student may use his or her iPhone to take notes or even look up math formulas or any other information that may be helpful to them.





What are the advantages and disadvantages of this tool?

Before the use of the Internet, parents and teachers were restricted to phone calls and face-to-face conversations to stay current on school happenings and student progress. Back in the day teachers would send papers home with the student alerting parents on latest developments. Now teachers and parents can go paperless with the use of the internet. Emails have become the most preferred communication method for many parents and teachers. It is a more efficient and effective way to keep in touch with one another.

On the flip side there are disadvantages when using the iPhone. There is a monthly charge that may vary depending on the plan that the user may have and the phone itself is pricey. One huge disadvantage is that the iPhone does not allow file transfer from the PC through the USB cable other than by means of Apple extensions, such as iTunes and iPhoto. The short battery life is another downside to the iPhone. If the phone is not charge daily, it may hinder a user using the phone for any length of time.





Who is the audience for this tool?

The iPhone is a useful technology tool that can be used by people of all ages. There are apps for kids, adults, and business professionals available right there at their fingertips with its multitouch screen. There are several educational apps for many students.

I have an iPhone and i think it is very useful, especially when I send emails and need apps. I think the iPhone is very user friendly. I am not the greatest computer wiz, but I seem to navigate my iPhone quite well. I think that everyone can benefit from the iPhone, especially the 21st century learner. Since everything is trying to go ego-friendly, I use my iPhone for everything. It is my address book, agenda, ipod, dictionary, navigation system, and so much more.
