In the United States alone, there is an estimated population of around 297 million people, and 197 million people are subscribed to cell phone companies (Starr).

Manufacturers and service providers of cell phones are located throughout the world, although, as inCode, a wireless business and technology consulting firm, suggests, “Not many wireless carriers today have a truly global presence.” However, the company predicts that “the top 10 wireless carriers are going to make a push for globalization in the coming years” (“InCode releases…”). Most especially, inCode foresees service providers reaching to “unconquered markets like China, which is the fastest growing wireless market in the world” (“InCode releases…”). Some companies have already tapped into the global marketplace, spreading areas of coverage across continents. The cell phone manufacturer Nokia, for example, is rooted in Finland, but sells cellular phone products virtually everywhere on the globe. Service providers, although most often more less expansive in scope, are also trying to provide more global coverage.

Plato was born into an aristocratic Greek family between 428–427 BC. At the age of twenty he became a disciple of the philosopher Socrates. Socrates continued to be an enormous influence on Plato throughout his life. Plato was an idealist and believed that everything that we see in this world is a less accurate representation of what its true form should be. He believed in a world of unchanging and unrelated forms that corresponded to universal definitions. This belief led to his theory of forms and became an essential part of his philosophy. Plato demonstrated this idea in one of his most popular works entitled the Republic.
In today’s world the vast majority of the population owns a cell phone. Cell phones are a huge part of people’s everyday lives.

Between these companies among several other phone companies they have created millions of jobs and opportunities. Cell phone companies have now created what are known as “smart phones”. These phones are typically slim and sleek and have countless versatile abilities. However, cell phones have not always been so “smart” or small for that matter.

Karl Popper argues that Plato wished to have a comeback to tribalism and professes it to be propaganda though, Plato spoke about a desire for good and a neglect for anything else. Plato speaks of good citizens who do no wrong being insulted due to their love for being unknowingly chained and how the party may fall into the wrong hands if rulers act as the average citizens do. Of how they are chained by their own reality that they don't see the bigger picture and only see what they’re limited to in his view of the perfect
