Mobile Phones Now and Then (80’s to 2010’s)
Communication is the mean by which two or more people convey their thoughts and information. At the beginning of time, cavemen used to communicate usingsigns and paintings or strange sounds. Today, thanks to the evolution of technology, we don’t have to fly to Japan to see an old friend or wait weeks wondering when the postman will arrive, because wehave mobile phones now. As a result, communication is not the same as decades ago. The mobile phone has been hugely developed in quality, accessibility and design.
The Dynatac 8000x mobile phone wascreated in 1983 by Motorola (Motorola Dynatac Series). Its function was only to receive and send calls and the battery could only last 1 hour of talking and 8 hours on stand- by (Motorola Dyna Tac8000x). However, this generation’s cell phones for example, the Blackberry Torch 9800 made on 2010 by BlackBerry can stand “5 hours and 13 min of talking and 432 hours and stand by” (Battery Saver Proapp), and has multiple functions, some of which are: send messages of any type, watch movies and record, take pictures, play games, internet access, time measure applications, and much more. Also thereare now cell phones that are constructed on a computer platform, called smart phones (Litchfield Steve), because they contain more technology than normal phones, but still non “smart phones” have alot of the same functions.
In terms of accessibility, 1980’s cell phones were so expensive that they were a symbol of wealth. The motorola 8500x cost around $1000 dollars (Motorola 8500X), the averageprice for cell phones, but the price of the DynaTac 8000x was $3995 US! (Motorola Dyna Tac 8000x)
Nowadays, you can get a better phone for “25dollars, Alcatel One Touch 103” (Alcatel One Touch 103)and one of the latest smart phones for “699.99 US Iphone 4s” (Cell Phones & Smartphones). How many Alcatel’s could you buy with $4000 US: do the math, please.
