First Mobile Phone in 1947.

       The history of wireless phones had began in the second world war, where they used radio telephony it is like a normal wire phone but with a really big and heavy box that helps the phone connects wirelessly. In 1973 general manager of the company’s communication division invented the first mobile phone that you can carry with you. He walked down the streets of New York calling his first call from the mobile phone to the chief competitor at bell labs making him jealous of hearing Martin Cooper the official inverter hearing him from the noisy streets. The phone was possible to carry but very heavy it use to weight about 11.5 kg it wouldn’t be easy to keep it near your ear. The phone had nothing special on it just to dial numbers and a small display for the digits to appear and with a large antenna.


            Where as today almost 40 years later we use the most advanced technology in our smartphones. They are no longer mobile phones because their importance was just to call and send messages where smartphones helps you with every little thing you need in the middle of nowhere with the help of Wi-Fi the wireless internet, applications that even doctors use to save life’s and teachers to help her students to learn much more. The newest smartphone that Apple launched was the iPhone5 in October 2012. It has already a lot of history behind it but in just couple of years it came to perfection. Many people wonder what it has to come in the future of smartphones. Compare the size and weight is incredible to the first mobile phone. The iPhone 5 weights only 112grams it means you need average of hundred iPhones to be balanced to the one of 1974. These smartphones are like our genius in our pockets helping us and guide where we are stuck. The evolution of mobile phones was slow at first from 1974 till the year of 2000, the suddenly the companies exploded and started producing new and better phones.
