Cell phones have played an important role in our life for a long time. Recently, cell phones have changed a lot. They are not merely a communication tool. The cell phones which were also called smart phones have various functions, such as personal digital assistant (PDA), GPS, camera, and so on. Nowadays, more and more people begin to use smart phones. Smart phones have both good and bad effects on us. As far as I am concerned, using smart phones in good ways makes our life become better: helping us find right direction, looking for information more conveniently, and reminding us to do something.

First of all, smart phones can help us to find the right direction. If we get lost, we can use the map in smart phones to find the right direction immediately. Every smart phone has GPS, which can help us locate the place where we are. With this function of the smart phone, we are not afraid of getting lost. For example, if we get lost out of the blue when going mountain climbing, we can use GPS to find our location and call for help.

Second, smart phones make us look for information more conveniently. Before having smart phones, we can only find information from newspapers, magazines, or computers. If we want to look for information immediately, these ways are not very efficient. By contrast, we can use smart phones to find the information instantaneously. For example, if we want to know what the latest news is, we can use smart phones to search it. It is very convenient for us.

Third, smart phones can remind us of the thing we haven’t done yet. We all have many things to do every day. If we can have a system to check out our schedule, we will never forget to do anything. For example, a businessman may have many meetings in a day; thus, he or she can use a memorandum in the smart phone to remind what the next schedule is. A smart phone can help us remember to do things that are scheduled to be done.

In short, if we use smart phones efficiently, they can make our life better. The smart phones are not only for communication, they are multi-function devices. It is good for us to use smart phones efficiently.
