1.1 COMMUNICATION WHILE TRAVELLING The pace of our daily life has
been increasing for several decades. Our needs have multiplied as
new products have appeared and then been replaced after a few
years, or even months, of existence by a more fashionable product
or one of higher performance. The life cycles of the technologies
used in consumer and professional electronic products are also
becoming shorter. This acceleration is an inherent fact of our
consumer society. and the relationship between people and machines
are Lifestyles due to the multiplicity of ephemeral consumer
products. Objects changing no longer have a history; they are
merely tools which fulfil a predetermined function. Personal
portable products are of a new type which has appeared among pens,
wallets, these impersonal objects. This category includes watches,
handbags, calculators, portable radios and pocket telephones. As
these products for the pocket are carried on one's person, they
belong in a very personal way and have, therefore, a speciftc
identity corresponding to the image which they are given. In the
evolution of lifestyles, the explosive increase of travel and time
management are major factors. The pocket telephone is, therefore,
remark able for two reasons. It is not only an impersonal tool or
product but is also very much a personal portable product. The
possibility of distant com munication while travelling, being able
to call or be called at will anywhere at any time permits the
pocket telephone to be often considered as a desirable, almost
magic, personal item."
