Mobile phones (Integrity)

For my Net Gen project my group will be discussing the integrity of mobile phones which is basically the digital citizenship of them. Phones have gone from those giant black bricks almost with the long antennas to pocket size and even touch screen. With more sophisticated features and operating systems, they have seemed more glitchy than ever with software bugs, usually discovered just moments after they are purchased. Mobile phones are now becoming sophisticated smart phones that provide services beyond basic telephone use. Such as supporting third-party applications. Such third-party applications may be security crucial, such as mobile banking, or may be untrusted applications, such as downloading games. It appears that as the generation of cell phones grows, the integrity of these amazing mobile devices slows. We are now able to do so much on phones that most do not even need a computer anymore! I can search the web for some clothes, type in a spanish translation, play a game, surf songs, and text all in the matter of seconds apart all thanks to my mobile device! Honestly, in my opinion, the few glitches phones have here or there are worth it for the capability it gives me in my everyday life.
