Technology advances at a speed of vertigo, and it is true that most of the devices we use on a daily basis have improved considerably during the last 5 years. One of the devices of daily use that deserves a special mention is the mobile phone, which a few years ago until today and due to the incorporation of internet in the use of the phone has multiplied its possibilities in an exorbitant way..
In the beginning the use of the mobile phone was limited to being able to make or receive calls without having to be at a fixed point such as home or work.
