Record Sales For iPhone 5

    In  our  world  today,  almost  everyone  relies  on  technology  in  one  way  or    another.  There  is  one  thing  most  people  look  forward  to  every  year  and  that’s the  iPhone  5.  Therefore  you  may  expect  there  to  be  a  large  group  of  people  that  our  going  to  buy  the  iPhone  5. We  spend  a  lot  of  money  on  electronic devices,  especially  when  its  new  everybody  “has  to have  it”.  A  new  iPhone  is released  every  year,  this  year,  the  iPhone  5.  The  iPhone  5  had  2  million  pre-orders  within  24  hours,  That  just  pretty  much  proves  when  we  want  something we  will  get  it. AT&T  declared  it  the  fastest-selling  iPhone  to  date. What  that means  to  me  is  when  years  go  on  technology  sells  go  up  because  they’re  more advanced.

   America  has  developed  over  time,  think  about  it  before  the  1990s  we  didn’t have  all  of  this  advanced  technology. We  couldn’t  just  call  someone  anytime  we wanted  because  we  wanted  to  tell  them  something. We  couldn’t  text  people  just to  say  hey. Back then, People  wrote  letters  to  each  other, everyone  was  more social. In  our  society  today  we  may  even  text  a  person  in  the  same  house  as  us. In  my  opinion, Technology  will  take  over  us. Americans  jobs  will be  taken  over  by machines  and  other  technology. When  we  think  about  it  all  we  want  is  the  new stuff, once  something  comes  out  we  want  it  because  its  new  and  everybody will have  it  so  they  don’t  want  to  feel  left  out.

  I  am  someone  who  is  into  technology, I  love  it. However  I’ve  never  owned  an iPhone  and  I  most  likely  will  never  get  one. I  have  a  simple  phone  that  I  can call and  text  people  from.  I  do  think  its  really  cool  to  read  and  see  what   it  does  but  I’m  not  in  to  it. Most of my friends get the new iPhone every year and they really like it. So, does this record sell mean that as time gos on we advance with the technology or does technology leave us behind?
