Martin Dcooper,

former director

of research and

development at

Motorola Inc. is

credited with

inventing the

technology of the modern mobile phone. rdHe placed the first mobile phone call on 3

April, 1973 in New York City. However, the

mobile phone did not gain common usage

in the United States until early 1980's.

From the onset, mobile phones were used

simply for receiving and making calls,

sending and receiving texts messages.

Modern revolutionary developments have

since evolved in making the phone such a

versatile communication gadget that it has

become a necessity for life that people can

hardly do anything without one. This

versatile electronic gadget can be used for

performing different tasks.

Today, many mobile phones now have

several features that perform differentfunctions capable of enhancing modernlifestyle, from serving as a phone, camera,

recorder, direction finder (navigator),

timepiece (clock), organizer, diary, flash

light, health regulator, music library, etc.

Further phenomenal developments have

brought about 'smartphones’ beingdescribed as “multi-tasking,” enabling the

user to do different tasks at the same time.

Quite a number of mobile phones now

have in-built internet facilities that allow

sending and receiving e-mails, and

browsing the websites. One can use a

'smartphone' to view and edit documents

through Ms-office file and can be used as a

notepad. The phone can also serve as a

wallet and could be used for payment as a

credit or debit card.

People using mobile phone cameras now

have the ability to expose social ills such as

human right abuses. For example, in 2007,

videos and photos of monks and citizens

marching for greater freedom in Burma

shot by individuals using mobile-phone

cameras spread throughout the world in

hours. Before now this used to take several

weeks. Mobile phones are cheaper,

smaller and more portable than other

digital devices. It enables an increasing

number of people torecord a live event and immediately post it

to the internet through a mobile network.

More than 60 per cent of the world's

mobile phone users are in developing

countries, with Africa having the highest

mobile phone growth rate. About 1 in 50 Africans had a mobile phone

at the beginning of the 1990s but today the

ratio is about 1 in 4.

Current statistics indicate that about 50%

of the world's population has access to

mobile phones, compared to 10% for

personal computers.

Today there are nearly 4 billion mobile

phone subscribers and the growth is

phenomenal.

Taking pictures on a night out with friends can sometimes be challenging with our Camera Phones. Many of us often times think that the presence of flash on our camera phone is just enough to produce decent shots, but this is not always true. The fact is that sometimes you don't even need to activate flash to take beautiful pictures at night.

Listed here are some tips that can guide you through:?Don't shoot into the light: you don't want to

end up having the outline of the subject against the brighter background.

?You can enable flash provided the subject is not lighted up.

?If you have to use flash or a photo light, take the shots from 2-3metres away

?Ensure you have a white balance set for lights from bulbs to prevent your shoot from going orange.

?If your phone has a Night mode setting, enable it.

?Poses aren't necessary: some of the shots will be when people don't know you were snapping, so they are natural and have their own guards down

Do you know that there is a Phone Doctor at every SLOT Store nationwide?
