Cellphones, particularly smartphones have become an integral
part of our daily lives. Gone are those days when a phone was used just for
sending and receiving calls or text messages. Although you can still do that
today, there are so many things that technology has brought to the phones that
we are hooked on it.
Every year, we see newer, smarter and more powerful phones.
Just when we think, technology can’t be topped, comes another more efficient
new technology that trumps the old one. Point being, that technology is
evolving at a rapid pace. When integrated with smartphones, that technology
skyrockets because of how frequently we use them.
There are tons of new cellphones that are released every
year. It has evolved into a whole industry now and compare that to what we had
20 years ago, we can see how far we have come. The chunky phones are of no
value today however, they were a thing back in the day.
The technology and shape of the cellphones have changed drastically
over the years, but the same can be said about the price. When cellphones were
relatively new, they were very expensive with relatively no smart technology
what we have today. One of the first cellphones here was priced at $4000.
However, as time passed, these cellphones increased in popularity, the
technology and price were decreased.
