Innovation impact



Blackberry
     People have been alwayslooking for innovations in the world of technology, like phones, computers, andmusic players. One of those innovations that people use it all the time is the phone.Nowadays, phones are not only used to make calls; they are used to play games,texting, taking pictures, videotaping, and for browsing the internet. Anexample of those phones, which is used for many purposes, is the BlackBerry.Back home, the BlackBerry is the most used among people of different ages, andI use it here, as well. The BlackBerry has affected my life abroad in both wayspositive and negative, and it also has affected the community there.
     While I am living awayfrom my family and friends, I need a means of contact so I can communicate withthem. Phone calls are not always possible due to the cost of internationalcalls and the time difference. Consequently, I had to get a BlackBerry and geta data plan so I can use the BlackBerry messenger. BlackBerry messenger is anapp where any person can have his list of friends, and can engage with themeither by private conversations or sending broadcasts to the whole list. As Isaid, that the BlackBerry has affected me in a positive way. Now, I can text myfriends at any time. I can also share my pictures and video with them. Inaddition, I receive the essential news and a new feed every day by my friends.The most significant influence is that I am able to chat with my friends and mysiblings any time without any extra fees, even though they do not live here. Forexample, I used to text all my friends and my family members during ourholidays, or if any one of them had any occasion like a birthday or wedding,but it had been difficult due to the cost of text messages until I got theBlackBerry. Now, I can text them and send them my greetings at any time, and wecan share our happy moments together no matter where they are.
     On the other hand, theBlackBerry has a negative effect. The most negative thing that the BlackBerry hasis that people start using it to report rumors and inaccurate news. Forinstance, two weeks ago I received a broadcast that said the minister of foreignpassed away and the source was a well known newspaper. In order to make sure, Itook a look on that newspaper website, but I could not find that; finally, itturned out that it was rumor which bothered me. Additionally, many links that containinappropriate contents, such as images and videos are being sent to the kids,even though the kids are not supposed to watch them, so it became a tool thatimmature people use to spread these things among the kids. Last but not least,the BlackBerry became a distraction to me. When I am studying or eating, I stopseveral times to read a message or start chatting with a friend.
     As I said, theBlackBerry has also affected the community. People used to sit together andtalk a lot and do not pay any attention to their phones, but not anymore.Nowadays, you can barely see a person who does not check his phone at leastevery five minutes if not all the time. Now, when I go to see my friends, Ifind them so quiet; everybody is busy chatting or doing something with hisphone. The BlackBerry has decreased the social life and reduced directcommunication between people.
     To sum up, we were taught that any new innovationis a gift, and it is like an empty glass; if we put water in it, it becomespermissible, and we can drink it, but if we put alcohols it becomes forbidden,and we cannot drink it. In order to make the technology beneficial to us, wehave to know how to deal with it, and we have to be aware of what it willhappen if we misuse it. I was affected by the BlackBerry in a positive and anegative way as well as my community. I use it for chatting and sharing myphotos and videos with my friends and my family; also I use it to access to theinternet. However, the false news that I have been getting from time to time makeme think of getting rid of it. Lastly, the inappropriate links that some peoplesend to the kids have made this phone unwanted. As I said, we should know howto use it, and we should know how to protect the kids; otherwise this we willregret this gift.
