I am speaking of the origin and evolution of the Cell phone.
Why this topic? Well, recently my cell phone was ‘upgraded’ from the dinosaur ‘candy bar’ phone (circa 2004) to a used, but very modern to me, flip phone (which I had always admired.) Wow! It is quite an advancement and awesome in its features! A big thank you to the donor.
Back in 2004, I was probably the last person on earth to get a cell phone, though I had long admired them from afar, and had friends who had those early humongous bulky and very expensive cell phones such as you see in the picture above, being held by Dr. Cooper, the inventor.
But, I digress.
Recently there was an interesting article about the ‘evolution’ of the cell phone. According to that article this all began in 1983.
But, according to another article it began in 1973 when Martin Cooper invented the cell phone. Hmm.
Oh well, it was obviously not billions and billions of years ago.
