Week 10: Cellphones

This week, my favorite video was “History of Cellphones and How Drastically They’ve Changed.” First, I enjoyed the information about car phones. Interestingly enough, I was actually born in a car on the way to the hospital, and my parents said they called 911 with the car phone. In the age of landlines, cellphones, and computers, I never really understood how interesting the concept of a car phone truly was. 

I thought it was really interesting that only a limited number of people could use car phones in the beginning (1970s). Then, Motorola introduced the first ever “cellphone.” It is insane to think these early cell phones took 10 hours to charge and only lasted 35 minutes, especially when now my phone can charge within an hour or two and last the whole day. Technology really has come a long way!
