Cell phones
Cell phones are portable telephones that transmit signals through a cellular network. This system enables people to make phone calls or send text messages.
Background of a cell phone.
Motorola was the first company to make a cell phone. This was between 1973 and 1983. It was called DynaTac. It was heavy and had to be charged after every 30minutes of use. Back in those days, almost every household had a landline so the cell phone was not so essential.
Not many people had the cell phone when I was first introduced. We all know that if anything is introduced the demand is likely to be high and hence it is a bit costly. So not everyone could afford to have a cell phone until another version of a cell phone was introduced.
Benefits of a mobile phone
Often the name cell phone is used interchangeably with mobile phone and smartphone. This is because the makers argue that the difference between a mobile phone and a smartphone is that a smartphone has improved applications but the functions are the same. In other words, a smartphone is an advanced version of an ordinary mobile phone.
