Sometimes when I sit back and wonder, I have the feeling that we are far less than humans in spite of the proverbial fact that humans are intellectually superior to any other life form in the universe. How else can you explain the overpowering of the toughest of minds by as non substantial a thing as trend? In fact, this astral phenomena looms over the entire human race with its presence being felt over a wide variety of areas. Be it in the fashion circuit, the sports arena, or even the technology hallway, everyone follows the latest trends that seem to make quite an impact in their lives. Underlying this behavioural pattern, however is the psychological bent of human minds towards anything that is well liked by the world and that strikes a melodious chord. Not that you can battle that as it has become a way of life, but the whole idea of going for something because a major faction of the society think its a fad is quite unacceptable for me.



The most recent victim to this wave is the sector that has proudly gained the status of being one of the most thriving industries in the world today. Mobile phones are no less than clothes and accessories. The great race for popularity witnesses more and more eager players besides legends like Nokia, Motorola, Samsung, LG and Sony Ericsson. The most inspiring factor, of course is the constant support of the rising technology at the back end. Newer technologies make experimentations a real pleasure for the manufacturers who put in their accumulated experience and intelligence to develop better phones. The phone market is abuzz with phones showcasing several revolutionary abilities and features like high end cameras, smooth music players, GPS navigation systems, Internet browsers and connectivity routers. The trend in the market is naturally concentrated on phones that are popularised on the basis of both style and substance.
