Can your cellphone reveal anything about you?

Many people say “yes”. Ever wondered why people own the phones that they do? For instance why do so many young women love slim or small cellphones whereas the opposite sex prefers chunkier devices with larger external Bluetooth handsets? This is because our very own technology pieces influence our identity and vice versa. Think about it, amongst the hundreds (if not thousands) of cellphones currently available on the market, why do you own the one that you have now? Is it because it appeals to you visually or because it has impressive features? It wouldn’t make much sense if a sixty year old pensioner who has no need for a cellphone whatsoever other than making and receiving calls to own a cellphone with a GPS navigation system or with an I-pod music player. Using this scenario, one may assume that the man is not a fan of keeping up with cellphone technology. On the other hand, imagine a girl who is a “teeny-bopper” probably aged sixteen or so. We don’t know her from bar of soap but she pulls out her cell phone in the paying queue at McDonalds and bingo, we learn something about her without even speaking to her. She owns a gold limited edition Dolce and Gabbana Motorola V3 Razr, a sleek flip phone with a catchy pop music ringtone. Immediately we may assume that she is very fashion conscious, aware of style trends and selective about her choice in cellphone models. A person’s mobile can reveal a lot about them. Personalization of cellphones is also a method of reflecting a persons identity for example many purchase minor commodities to make their cellphones “their own” such as personalized alphabetic cellphone charms, phone covers, pouches, cellphone “socks” and the like. The cellphone itself gives you the option of configuring the options to suit your tastes and preferences such as your choice of wallpapers, ringtones and screen savers.
