Watching television is always something that I looked forward to as a child. I remember always rushing to go home from school just so I could watch the TV.

These were the first type of cellphone that I used. I did not enjoy it that much but it was very handy. Similar to the newer cellphones, this keypad phone can be used to communicate with others in long distance. I used to play snake games in this device and barely used it for communication because typing using a keypad was not enjoyable for me.

Facebook is one of the earliest media site that I was exposed to, as well as the one that I never got tired of even up to the present time.

Smart phones are my favorite mobile device as they are very handy and has many functions. I could never live a day without checking out my phone. It can be used to access the internet, texting, and operating downloaded applications such as games. It can basically do everything that you would need in a phone.
