Arguments for smart phones
 Smart phone is a device that allows people to
   make phone calls, but also adds features that
   we might find on a computer.
 I do agree that smart phones are affecting
   productivity, communication in the workplace,
   social engagement and education in a way
   that:
 It has easy access to the internet( can be used
   to browse your favorite web sites);
In terms of software, it allows you to create and
   edit Microsoft office documents or manage
   your finances;
 Moreover, all cell phones can be used to send
   and receive text messages. However, what
   makes the difference about smart phones is its
   ability of sending and receiving e-mails. Some
   can support multiple e-mail accounts, others
   include access to the popular instant
   messaging services like yahoo and messenger.
Different types of smart phones
Statistical information
Nowadays, we find people using smart phones all
over the world. The most used ones are Blackberry,
Nokia and its different series, HTC, iPhone, Samsung
and Sony Eriksson.
A recent research by World Wide Work, revealed
that three quarters of South African companies have
deployed smart phones within their organization.
Gartner revealed in May that, Blackberry is the
world’s fourth-largest handset maker, it currently has
19.4% of global market share in the smart phone
arena. The iPhone in comparison, has 15.4% market
worldwide.
In South Africa, Blackberry is showing particularly
strong growth. According to Vodacom, they have sold
100,000 iPhones to date in comparison to 350,000
Blackberries. So, Blackberry has the highest potential
percentage growth.
Information about research done on smart
                phones
   This research on
    smart phones gives
    the opportunity to
    people to learn more
    about a devices that is
    used for most of the
    South African and the
    World population in
    general.
Research findings
 With this research I could find out that, using smart phones is very
  advantageous because it enables you to do many different things in a
  small device that fits perfectly in anyone’s hand.
   Smart phones may carry out a lot of disadvantages due to many
  people start writing messages in short forms, which leads to spelling
  errors and they also get distracted with instant messages and all the
  rest that smart phones have to offer, instead of studying or working.
 Conclusion
Overall, smart phones are of a crucial
importance to human’s life nowadays,
because they are included in most of the
activities that people do during their
daily routine. Such as, making phone
calls, receive and send e-mails and
messages, take pictures, record videos
and it also enables us to access websites
and do as many things as we do in a
computer.
