I’ve noticed that more and more we’ve become dependable on our cell phones and digital technology. But, are you really getting all the best uses out of your gadgets?

Here’s some photos to help your mind think of things to do with your phone … oh say next time you’re at a concert or a political extravaganza.

Cellphones are great for concert encores. No burnt fingers from your lighter!

Maybe speaking even more to a sign of the times is this image of our new president and his wife… and hundreds of people holding up their phones and digital cameras to snap a picture at the Youth Ball on Inauguration Day.

It may seem odd to see this happening from this angle, but I think this is a really good thing for history in general. Think about all the documentation we will have for History to share with future generations compared to the History of the past where a lot of what we’ve learned is just passed down by word of mouth with little photographic documentation at all, if any.

Some may say that we over document things in our lives these days. It’s easy to think that way with cameras built into everything these days from your keychain to your cell phone & your Nintendo DS. Just about everyone has a camera in their pocket these days. It’s easy to snap of pic of even the silliest things.

Ever sat down to dinner at a restaurant and snapped a pic of the food in front of you? Many bloggers and lifecasters do just that on an almost daily basis. While it might seem silly at first, it’s definitely shaping the way of the future and making a record of how we live our lives in the now. Not to mention providing funny and interesting blog content across the web.
