Evolution of Technology.

Technology had changed a lot over the years! The first phone call was made on March 10th, 1876. The phone that made that call kinda looked like this....(picture on left)
The first cell phone was a box. I did not look anything like what we have today. The box had a phone on it but was connected to each other. It looked like this, (picture on right)






The next type of cell phone was really big! This phone was 4,000 dollars in the early 80s! it was the first Motorola cell phone. This phone was about 14" tall and 2-3" thick. Invented in 1983. This phone had at most 100 pixels per inch! The phone made its first appearance in "Wall Street." (right)


The next cell phone was called the Clamshell. It was the first flip phone. This was another Motorola phone, their first flip phone. The phone had a red screen, and had only 12 keys. It had a calculator, the first app on a cell phone. (left)






The next phone was called the Candy Bar. This phone was called candy bar because it was shaped as a candy bar. This phone had a bluetooth program on it and they had a yellow tinted screen. This phone was about 6" tall. Invented in 1999. This phone also had less than 100 pixels per inch! (right)


The next cell phone is the Blackberry. The blackBerry is a very
popular phone. It was invented in 2004. Although is was introduced in Germany in 1999,  but didn't make an appearance in the United States till 2004. This phone has less than 200 pixels per inch. This phone was about 5" inches. During this time texting became more a common thing to do! Also even more apps came with the phone. Like calculator, calendar, settings, alarm, web, and texting.

The next phone is the IPhone. The phone made its appearance in 2007. This phone has been the biggest hit in the technology world. Apple made a earlier version on the phone but it was not a big success. The release of this phone was June 27th, 2007. The first weekend is was released, they sold more than 700,000 Iphones.  In 2008, they released the iphone 3g, and a little bigger than the first. The Iphone 4g was released around 2009.
