Rapid Development of Cell Phone Technology
The cell phone gets its name from the system used to carry calls. A broadcast tower covers a cell a few miles in radius that carries calls and when many cell towers locations combine a larger cell is created. When a person using a cell phone travels through these cells the call is transferred from one cell to another giving us the ability to talk while traveling. Cell phones are now a modern necessity but the development of the cell phone took a lot of time as they evolved from clunky barely functioning luxuries to stylish dependable tools. Cell phone history is one with rapid changes that led to the development one of today’s most widely used gadgets.
The cell phone industry had nowhere to go but up from the first prototypes and although slowly the cell phone began to evolve. It took until the early 1990’s for cell phones to resemble what we have today. Cell phones began to shave off pounds and inches. By the late 1990’s cell phones began to resemble the ones that are developed today as they became smaller, lighter and packed with more features. Many people now take for granted the ability to communicate on the go but it wasn’t too long ago that cell phones were huge luxuries. The cell phone’s history shows a device that went from barely feasible to widely in use in only a few short years.
