Historical Development
The cell phone is a piece of equipment that many people now use every day for multiple reasons but it started from humble beginnings and has advanced in major bounds along the years, it all started when in 1843 when a man named Michael Faraday decided to see if he could pass electricity through the air. It wasn't till 1865 that another man, Doctor Mahlon Loomis, became the first person to communicate wirelessly, he came up with the idea of sending and receiving messages by using the atmosphere as a conductor, he received $50,000 for his research. Then in 1973 Martin Cooper created Motorola, the first mobile phone was created in 1977 by Motorola at the time of its release 2000 people were given a free trial, the mobile phone was huge but nobody new how to make it smaller and more efficient and then other companies in other places started to make mobile phones in a short time mobile phones were being made in 54 different places all over the world. Mobile phones eventually started to be made smaller and more efficient offering more that just communication, and fast. the phone went through many different stages from a early phone that was large, heavy, had poor quality of communication and used electricity quickly that was appropriately entitled "the brick" to more recent times with much more advanced smart phones like the iPhone and the Samsung galaxy, phones that have all the information that you could ever want at a few taps of a finger. There is no telling how advanced phones will become, who knows they might even eliminate the need for a home phone altogether,
