Do you think America is leading in technology? or specifically Cell Phone Technology?
Well, we are actually not. Korea has made it that everything they need can be accessed on their phones. Wouldn't it be nice if we had everything we need in our cell phone?
Shim Gi-tae says,“We want to bring complex bits of daily life — cash, credit card, membership card and student ID card, everything — into the mobile phone,” said Shim Gi-tae, a mobile financing official at SK Telecom, the country’s largest wireless carrier. “We want to make the cellphone the center of life.”
With thoughts like that, they already have things in their phones we want. Years ago, i always wanted a front camera to talk to people and see their faces. Korea had that along time ago. We are just getting it and it is only on the new SMART phones and with only similar phone services. Koreans are able to talk to each other and see the face of the person they are talking to. The cool thing is, it doesn't need to be on the same service. You can see anyone anywhere!

I found this extremely shocking I always thought that the U.S. was the country that was so technologically advanced. Yet we are getting beat at our own game. This is sad to say but maybe it is for the best. Technology is starting to take over peoples lives.
