When I was like 9 year-old, my mom had bought her first cellphone. The Nokia 3310. It was a superior phone among others for it was the most expensive one that time. I haven't had any idea of what kind of thing my mom was cautiously returning to its box after every use until the time that it rang so loud . I got suspicious to what it was that it made me got it without her permission. I repeatedly clicked its keypad but i got no response. When i was about to be caught, i hurriedly brought it back to where it was and still had an eye on it the whole day. I really couldn't sleep that night thinking of what it was until my step sister arrived from cebu and borrowed it to play “snakes”. In my total amazement, i attempted to borrow it for a while. My step sis had taught me on how to play but i just ended up having a “game over” sign. I always wanted to play its games and listen to its ringtones but my mom didn't allowed me anymore for i might destroy it. She treated it as a precious thing that no one ignorant is authorized to use it.
Years had passed by so fast. That certain gadget became inferior because the latest units have now invaded the world. Everyone owns one. The higher the price, the better.
3310 can be rarely seen. Not everybody wants to text and call outdoor using it because they might think it's cheap.
The price of it slows down to not more than Php1000 but not everybody is interested though.
The rapidly growing cellphones have now different styles and applications. There's a touch-screen, TV, dual and triple sim, MP3, Video, Camera and Internet. It becomes a very important gadget today because it is being a part of people's every day existence.
The 3310 that once became a predominant is now being the one left behind. But in my mom's case, she is still using that phone of hers that stood still with the test of time. She said that no matter how better that new cellphone is, nothing can beat the 3310's service to her life.
