Cell Phone Camera – Use Technology in a New Way
It is terrific to use your cell phone camera in new and exciting ways to make life easier. As time goes by the devices we use become more and more sophisticated, smaller and more common place. Not that long ago, people could not imagine the need for cellular phones. Now it is almost impossible to live without them. Since we are carrying smart phones that are full of all finds of features and applications, it makes sense to use our phones for more than just making telephone calls. The feature we will be discussing today is the cell phone camera.
If you use electronic devices for planning, be sure to link them all.
While the camera on the typical cell phone will not replace a professional grade camera, it is more than sufficient for many purposes. The following are some great uses for the camera on your cellular phone:
- Comparison Shopping – When shopping for items at more than one store, take a photograph of the store name, item, price tag and location in the store so you can find it easily later
- Parking Lot Assistant – In a busy mall parking lot take a picture of your parked car and the steps to the elevator. The cars next to you may leave but following your pictures backwards from elevator, around a post etc., will get you back to your car
- Phone Number Catcher – when you go buy houses for sale or rent, store locations and the like, take a photo of the phone number instead of just writing it down. This will help you remember the atmosphere of the place, help with transposition errors and be a better memory aid than just a phone number alone.
- Grocery List – take a photo of kitchen grocery items as you run out and save them in a separate file. This way you can flip through the photos as you shop and pick up all the items you use and need. Also when shopping take photographs of interesting combinations at sample stations so you can re-create the ones you like at home later.
- Receipt Records – take photographs of your shopping receipts and save them on your computer. Many stores need your receipt information for returns, warranty service and the like. If you have a photograph of the receipt, the store will be able to get the necessary information from the receipt and help you when the original receipt has disappeared.
These are just a few of the novel uses for the camera on your cellular telephone. There are many more. In conclusion, it is terrific to use your cell phone camera in new and exciting ways to make life easier. So the question for you this terrific day is, what are some great ways you use the camera on your cellular phone?
Another great reason why I need a phone with a camera 🙂
Love the tip about remembering where I parked! Does that I’m mean I’m old and forgetful or just one very busy mama? Either way, I am definitely using this tip this week.
That is so sweet! It reminds me of a commercial from when I was a little girl, “I’d like to give the world a Coke and keep it company.” It would be wonderful if everyone could have a phone with a nice camera to record and reflect, so very sweet.
I use my camera phone for everything! Honestly, if I could, I’d give everyone in the world a cell phone with a nice camera. It’s a great way to record life happening and reflect on it later!
Calm down Ms. Cintron, calm down. Photograph your receipts so you will not be calling me from jaiil on an arson charge asking for bail money. hahahahaha
receipt records…I need to do that… I almost burned down a store because of the nonsense rule about not having my info and not being able to exchange hair remover … did i mention I wanted to burn it down :/
