Imagine trying to fit a cell phone that resembles the shape of an iPad, but a little bit longer and much thicker like a DVD box set, and weighing over two pounds in your pocket or in your purse. Well fortunately we don’t have to struggle with that kind of a cell phone, but in 1973 people did. In April of that year, the first cell phone that closely resembles our cell phones today was invented by a man who worked for Motorola, Dr. Martin Cooper. It had no display screen and only supplied 35 minutes of time to talk! Very different from what we have to choose from today.
Presently there are 4.6 billion people who own cell phones, that’s more than two-thirds of the world’s population. Cell phones are so popular because they are useful and convenient. One of their wonderful uses is text messaging; it is quick and efficient. It’s usually used when the person can’t physically talk so they’ll message instead. I feel that texting is a great addition to cell phones because it can be used carelessly whenever or discreetly like during a meeting, in class, or at work. As our technology advances, I’m sure something more proficient will be invented and will be even more useful and convenient.
wow really i didnt know he was the one to invent the cell phone..thats good to know..
ReplyDeletei never knew so many people owned cell phones.. thats such a large number. very interesting!
ReplyDeleteHaha I like to watch alot of 70's and 80's movies and those phones are ridiculous, I strongly suggest to anyone who hasn't seen those phones to watch a movie from that time so you can see how lucky we are with the cell phones we now have. Maybe that'll keep people from complaining how terrible their phones are. XD
