Every two years, our family's cell phone contract comes up for renewal. And, every two years, we get new phones.

With the promotions that run with renewing the contracts, it is often worth doing to get the new phones. If we use our old phones for another two years, not only is the technology older, but the batteries start to wear out as well. Replacing those batteries could cost what the new phones cost... and those include new batteries!

Consider how many phones a typical family has. Now multiply that by every two years. Yes, that's a lot of phones!

I recall when cellular phones first came out. They were big and heavy and their power wasn't all that great either. Today, we have small and lightweight phones that can do so much more than just be a phone. Games, text messaging, email, web browsing, music player, camera, video camera, PDA... you name it, it can probably do it!

Who would have thought that the old Star Trek communicator would turn into a reality so quickly? Plus, our phones can do more than Captain Kirk's communicator ever could!
