☎️📞Telephones Through The Ages☎️📞

Phones today have come a long way from the first ever telephone invented in 1876 by Alexander Graham Bell. And on the 10th of March of that year, he made the first ever phone call with the famous words "Mr Watson, come here, I want to see you", and the rest as they say is history.
The first phones were very elaborate and looked very posh indeed, and were not readily available to everybody.

After the 1940s, the style changed to something some of us may recognise, and since then we have had wall phones and cordless phones, all in different styles and colours. These were commonly known as landlines, and are still widely used today. They do have an advantage over mobile phones, the main one being is they don't govern your life!

Then there was the great invention of mobile phones in 1984, and they weighted over a kilogram and were known as The Brick, but quickly became popular with wealthy financiers.

This was my first mobile phone as a child !!!

The design of mobile phones was soon altered to allow for a lot more apps and a camera, although the first ones left a lot to be desired.

We all carry mobile phones nowadays, and you do see people checking them every five minutes. The problem with them is that people can't turn them off and forget about them. They do govern some people's lives, and it is very rude, I think, to have a phone on when you are out for a meal or in the cinema.

There are so many different phones around today, from bog-standard ordinary ones to smartphones and beyond. A lot of people buy phones for show and don’t use half the apps etc. on them, but they like to say oh my phone is such and such.

Ditch your mobile for a day, don't turn it on, and you may be surprised at how much better it was before the mobile phone.

So does your mobile govern your life or can you do without it?
