What form of Communication Technology do you use most often? What is your favourite?
Over the years I believe peoples choice of communication changes with the evolution of technology and themselves as a person, with my personal experience and the era I was raised in has had a definite effect on the choices of communication I associate with. As a young teenager instant messaging was all the craze where you would conduct numerous simultaneous conversations with all your friends from school and sports or recreational clubs, and the uses of mobile phones or telephones was a rarity mainly used for emergency's. But as times change so do people and that includes myself.
Obviously today's mobile phone is very different to the mobile phones used in 5- 6 years ago. Today many consider there mobile phone a necessity along with myself. The evolution of smart phones is growing at a rapid rate and you can seemingly do anything on the mobile phones of today. But will in the future the only thing you may need is a mobile phone.Today's mobile phones can already send e-mail, browse the Web, and keep you in touch with friends. Many believe tomorrow's handsets will add even more to the menu, morphing (as needed) into always-connected portable game consoles, full-featured TVs, and credit cards (PCworld). Already I stress when I cant find my phone as I feel I need it for everything, what will the future hold for the needs of having a mobile phone.

That's interesting to think about. So your useage changes as your needs change - that sounds right and therefore requirements from the types of communication technology used comes and goes.
