30 years of mobile
January 1st 2015 marked 30 years since the first mobile phone call was made and it is safe to say that no one could have predicted the advances in mobile technology which have taken place over the past 30 years.
It is surprising how dependent each person has become on their mobile devices as before individuals had to rely on landlines, faxes and the very first signs of email. This new mobile device suddenly allowed users to contact others on the go – maybe only for a small amount of time and for a large fee, but we had to start somewhere!
Since then the mobile phone has changed significantly. It started as a device which needed to be carried round in its own case to one that fits into our pocket and has taken over our personal lives. Throughout the years the mobile device has evolved from being decreased in size before users demanded bigger and higher quality screens as well as specific functionality and features to enable us to watch movies or video call or email other mobile device users.
As the years go on, mobile technology is becoming more advanced and when we reach the 60th anniversary of the first mobile phone call, it is safe to say mobiles will be very different altogether. It is hard to say exactly how advanced technology will become in the next 30 years but with wearable devices on the rise, who knows what will be next!
Let us know what you think will happen in the next 30 years.
