 Smart phone is a device that allows people to
make phone calls, but also adds features that
we might find on a computer.
 I do agree that smart phones are affecting
productivity, communication in the workplace,
social engagement and education in a way
that:
 It has easy access to the internet( can be used
to browse your favorite web sites);
In terms of software, it allows you to create and
edit Microsoft office documents or manage
your finances;
 Moreover, all cell phones can be used to send
and receive text messages. However, what
makes the difference about smart phones is its
ability of sending and receiving e-mails. Some
can support multiple e-mail accounts, others
include access to the popular instant
messaging services like yahoo and messenger.
