The evolution of the cell phone

More cell phones are sold every day.
Some models are winners, and others are unloved, relegated to the dustbin of history quickly. Features are incredible on the phones of today. All you have to do is think of Gordon Gekko’s enormous cell phone to remember the good old days. Cell phones used to come with battery packs that had to be carried seperately. And they were expensive! Don’t forget, Gekko was one of the richest people around, and he had to be, in order to be able to pay the enormous expense of the phone bills.

Cell phones are much cheaper and better than ever before.
That’s the beauty part of technology. As the technology advances, and popularity accelerates, phones with much better features are available. You couldn’t do the things you do on a cell phone now with Gekko’s old computer system in the 1980s, let alone with a phone.

What does the evolution of cell phones mean?
Times are a changin’, as always. Phones are becoming smarter all the time, and are putting great pressure on the PC business to evolve. People are getting used to a much higher degree of mobility all the time, and it’s very unlikely that any of them are will to put that Genie back in the bottle.

Cell phones now are capable of taking pictures, taking videos, dictating email, and doing just about everything you can on a stationary PC.
The future will yield even more improvements. What kind of changes can we expect? Phones that do it all, even helping with medical conditions. In essence they’ll continue to add features which will make phones a bigger and more integral part of our daily experience.
