English to Portuguese: Mobile Phone Culture General field: Other Detailed field: Journalism
Source text - English “In less than twenty years, mobile telephones have gone from being rare and expensive pieces of equipment used by businesses to a pervasive low-cost personal item. In many affluent countries, mobile phones now outnumber land-line telephones, with most adults and many children now owning mobile phones. It is not uncommon for young adults to own simply a cell phone instead of a land-line for their residence, even in the U.S. where mobile phone use is less prevalent than other industrialized countries. Mobile phone penetration is increasing around the world; this is particularly true of developing countries, where there is little existing fixed-line infrastructure.
With high levels of mobile telephone penetration, a mobile phone culture has evolved, where the mobile phone becomes a key social tool, and people rely on their mobile phone address book to keep in touch with their friends. Many people keep in touch using SMS, and a whole culture of "texting" has developed from this.”
Translation - Portuguese “Em menos de 20 anos, os telefones celulares deixaram de ser peças raras e equipamentos caros utilizados por empresas para serem um item pessoal popular de baixo custo. Os celulares superam o número de telefones fixos, em muitos países ricos, com a maioria dos adultos e crianças que passaram a possuir celulares. Não é incomum que os jovens tenham apenas um telefone celular em vez de um telefone fixo na residência, mesmo nos EUA, onde o uso do celular não é predominante como os demais países industrializados. A implantação da rede de telefonia móvel está aumentando em todo o mundo; principalmente nos países em desenvolvimento, onde há pouca infraestrutura na telefonia fixa existente. Com altos níveis de implantação na telefonia móvel, a cultura do celular tem evoluído, se tornando uma ferramenta social essencial, as pessoas contam com a agenda do celular para manter-se em contato com seus amigos. Muitas pessoas entram em contato usando o SMS, e toda uma cultura de "mensagens de texto" se desenvolveu a partir disso.”
