My phone contains the software called WAP 2.0 which uses a cut-down version of XTML (Extensible Markup Language) with end to end HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol). WAP 2.0 would be configured by the operator and could include telephone numbers, location, billing information and handset information. My phone also includes an MP3 player, Bluetooth messenger, mobile tracker, organizer and voicememo.
The MP3 player is a consumer electronic device that has the primary function of storing, organizing and playing audio files. The MP3 players are portable and have image viewing and/or video-playing support. Therefore my phone (Samsung C3050 Stratus) has an advantage of being provided with a lot of music even if I do not have an MP3 player.The other advantage that my phone has is the voice memo (a audio message usually left for oneself to remind you of something). Therefore if I regularly make voice memos of my activities for everyday according to time everything I do will be presented in an organised manner.
The Bluetooth on my phone is an open wireless technology standard for exchanging data over short distances (using short length radiowaves) from fixed and mobile devices, creating Personal Area Networks (PAN's) with high levels of security. As a result of Bluetooth I can receive and/or send my friends the latest music and games that we enjoy. Instead of exchanging CD's for the music/games that my friends and I enjoy, I just take my phone and activate the Bluetooth so as to receive/send the music/games to and from my friends.
My mobile phone also has a mobile phone tracker. Therefore if I happen to lose my phone or maybe it gets stolen. I can be able to track the current position of my phone even if the positions might keep on changing. The other advantage of mobile phone tracking is that telecommunications companies are aware of where their customers are temporarily residing. Therefore if the service provider or telecommunications companies know where their customers are they will be able to ensure that these places have good network for communication.
E.g. Some people have occupations that require them to travel away from their homes/families for a period of time to remote areas (Surveyors). Most people who travel to these remote areas leaving their families for a period of time have experienced telecommunication problems in a bid to keep in touch with their families back at home. Therefore the mobile tracker can influence the service providers to install antenna towers in these remote areas (tall structures/aerials designed to support antennas for telecommunications and broadcasting including television) so as to improve communication in all places.
My phone has a digital camera that enables me to take pictures of my friends and family. It also has a camcorder to record video clips. It also includes an alarm clock, calendar and organiser to help me with updates on certain tasks that Iwant to complete at a certain time and place. My phone's organiser also has a memo calculator. My phone's organiser also has a convertor which I can use to convert currencies, length, weights, volumes, areas and temperatures into my desired option. E.g. Euros to Great Britain Pounds.
My phone also has internet and therefore enables me to access information on weather conditions, horoscopes, latest music, latest games and latest news. This internet subscription (which accounted for on my regular recharges of my mobile phone) allows me to also send and receive emails and I can also access social sites such as Facebook or Myspace. My phone enables me to send/receive through SMS (Short Message Service), MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) and E-mail (Electronic mail).
Though I am not involved in the business society my phone provides me with the functions of a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant-a mobile device which functions as a personal information manager and has the ability to connect to the internet). Therefore my phone can be used to remind me when my school assignments are due, my work timetable and sports activities timetable.
My mobile phone also has FM radio and a stopwatch to help me record the time can a certain distance (athletics) or how long it takes me to read a chapter from a novel (English). I mostly did not use all these features that are on my phone but the research I have done on this task regarding the information about my mobile phone has widened my knowledge on how much I can be well-organised due to my mobile phone's accessiblity to certain applications.
After completing this task (Converging Technologies) and having widened my knowledge about my mobile phone, I have come to realise how I can remember to meet my work requirements, school requirements and other activities (sporting or social) easily. Therefore from now onwards I am going to use the efficiency of my mobile phone to help me be organised.
