Written Analysis 2

A popular ritual that I see related to Android is more based on the devices they are installed on. Cell phone companies have created a ritual that revolves around getting a new phone every two years. I have participated in this ritual myself as after nearly two years my phone usually starts acting up or the battery life isn’t what it used to be. I have known people who will participate in this ritual nearly every six months since they are the type of person that must have the latest, greatest, and coolest gadget on the market. The New Every Two plan that previously existed for Verizon Wireless has been replaced by a program that allows for discount pricing when approaching two years.

I think a big stereotype that is placed on customers by cell phone providers include thinking that everyone is going to want the latest and greatest of these phones with Android and all these new features that let you search the web and have access to nearly unlimited amounts of information and applications. There may be groups of people that think this but to stereotype the broad range of people who are a wireless customer is wrong in many ways. There are still so many people that just want a plain phone and if it has a few nice features, that’s ok too.
