What do you think, if our ancestors who have never even seen the telephone would react the mobile phones that enable people to communicate with each other even far from the distance, and the mobile phone itself could be stored, brought, and keep inside your pockets?

What would it be their reaction to the creators of the Telephone system itself, Alexander Graham Bell, about the evolution, and advancement of mobile communication systems? Truly his reactions would be an impressive sight to behold.

The Evolution of Telecommunication Technology

Over the years, mobile phone, and our way of communication has been improving a lot, and by mean, a LOT, as there are now mobile phones, a pocket technology that allows communication, not just one-way communication, but two-way, and even letting video call, that lets you communicate real-time, showing your face, and your conditions right away in real-time.

It is interesting to note, that the development of communication and the phone has been growing rapidly, and this growing technology is all thanks to the massive advancement in both computers, and telecommunication, as well as feats of engineering that let people enable to connect, especially with the internet communication.

In this article, we are going to show you about the evolutions and the advancement of mobile phones each year. From the heavy, slow responsive telephone, to the mobile, touch screen phones that let you connect with the internet, and enable you to communicate with other people worldwide.

From The Home Telephone To The Pocket Mobile Phone

At first, who would have thought the invention of the telephone by Alexander Graham Bell could bring about such huge chances in this world? At first, the home telephone that has been invented by Bells, are very crude, could only work in a limited range, and with very limited applications too. After a while, the evolutions of the phone would then be improved by quite a lot.

Next, the invention of the cable telephone, which features the telephone cable. Once the cable has been issued and implemented, it could be used to provide a more stable, wide range, and more convenient home telephone, hence it will make the first convenient home telephone, able to connect nationwide telephone and communication system.

After that, another big invention is the invention of mobile phone telecommunication. The mobile phone concept and tech ideas have been around for centuries, it was first very crude, with the size of a briefcase, later on, the mobile phone became smaller and smaller, hence it would then be neatly sized pockets. We have seen the inventions and big boom of the handphone in the 21st century, around the year the 2000s.

And now with the availability of the internet for most people, the next big innovation is the availability of smartphones for everyone. The smartphone is a mobile phone that lets you do all sorts of things that normally would require a harder or larger device such as a computer. Now most smartphones currently becoming quite high-tech, sometimes even surpassing desktop computers.

The smartphone is probably one of the most influential innovations to this day, as they have been replacing a lot of technologies, enabling more mobility, and letting people communicate way more often, as well as easier. The cutting-edge technology of smartphones enables long-range communication, with real-time video, and letting for a better way of communication all around the world.

Why The Invention Of The Mobile Phone Is Truly One Of The Best, And Probably The Most Influential Technology

Just as we mentioned earlier, the invention of the smartphone is probably one of the most influential innovations in the sectors of technology, along with the innovation internet, and the computer that let smartphones proliferate. There are many reasons why some people have called the smartphone one of the most influential technologies that have ever existed such as.

• Mobile or Smart Phone let people communicate easily, fast, and reliably

One of the main uses of the smartphone is to communicate with people faster, easier, and with a more reliable platform of communication. With smartphones enabling connectivity to the internet, now people would have more reliable ways of communication, such as through chatting applications, internet chat, or even video calls, enabling people to see face-to-face in real-time.

This also allows for more intricate uses of the communication device, such as having a real-time meeting, enabling online real-time business meetings, and online classrooms enabling teachers and students to have online classes, and communicate real-time, anytime, and anywhere.

• It allows users to access the internet anytime and anywhere

One of the key functions of the smartphone is to the access internet. It lets people access the internet on the go, anytime and anywhere they would need anything from the internet, be its more online platform, better knowledge on the internet, entertainment, and many other things that you can benefit from the internet.

Allowing access to the internet can be good things or bad things though because sometimes too much exposure to the internet could bring many bad things such as hoax information, malware, virus, etc.

• Allows for better, and more creative industries

With more reliable, and affordable models of smartphones readily available in the market people get more creative in online platforms, enabling thriving online creative industries, and letting people create better, faster, and more reliable jobs online.

Since the digital age, many jobs and creative industries have been popping out all around the internet, the examples of this creative online industry such as online design, freelance work, online shopping or e-commerce, and many more digital works that have been fulfilling the jobs, and creating more works all around the globe.

• Potential digitalization for people, industries, and nearly every sector 

Digitalization, or making industries and sectors have more fluid use of a smartphone, and mobile technologies, as it allows for institutions, companies, and governments to have more mobile digital apps, allowing for wider reach of audiences, better customer care, and generally better quality of services from the company or institution itself.

Examples of digitalization are the digitalization of company and governmental sectors. We can see that the current digital age allows for government institutions to have better and more citizens’ care, allowing for many sectors of industries from health care, education, insurance, economy, and administration to have better accessibility.

The Danger And Concerns Of Mobile Phones

With the development of technologies, even for more use of mobile phones, there are certain risks and dangers that concern a lot of people, from health experts, parents, technological experts, and many more concerned about the use, and very rapid developments of mobile phone.

One thing is for sure, there are a few concerning things about the development of the mobile phone, from the health impacts regarding the prolonged use of mobile phone, the effects on children’s study, to even mental health for generations that is typically raised by mobile phone technology, therefore, here are few of the concerns regarding about the rapid development, and prolonged use of mobile phones.

The Health Concerns Of About The Mobile Phones

One thing is for sure though, with the wide availability of mobile phones, one priority concern is health concerns. Nowadays, the average screen time of people is around 5 to 7 hours per day, resulting in more than 25% of their days seeing the mobile phone screen. This much exposure to the mobile phone light of course could harm the eyes.

The case of short-sighted has been increasing by quite a number to this day, this can be linked to the wide availability of mobile phones, but some people also have argued that the increasing number of short-sighted people has no reflection over the increasing screen time of the mobile phone to this day.

• Mental health affecting “Mobile Phone generations”

With the very convenient technology of the mobile phone, now the mobile phone itself brings out the very instant and lazy in our generation. This way, many people especially younger generations have been pretty much lazier and becoming only focused on instant rewards, instead of the process. This is pretty saddening, and people also have been, researching this term for quite a long time.

This trends continue with many people calling Gen Z, or generations that have been raised with mobile phone technology very lazy, and would get nothing done, but this is purely subjective, and opinion thought, and would require more in-depth knowledge, and information regarding it first.

• The rapid development of technology

The rapid development of technology is good but sometimes can bring about a few concerns. With the rapid development of tech, especially with mobile phones, now technology that isn’t available widely has become very easy to access and widely available for anyone, is this a good thing Or a bad thing?

The mobile phone basically has more than 20 functions of technology that before the invention of the mobile phone itself has been separate technology, such as the calculator, alarm clock, the computer, the telephone, telephone book, and many more. The fact that it replace so much technology let this old tech vanish, and would probably become obsolete over the year.
