Timeline of Telephones.
Telephones the communication of the future well before the iPhone x was an existing phone today will be demonstrating the timeline/evolution of the Telephone. It all started during the year of 1876 when an individual named Alexander Graham Bell had the idea of making the very first water microphone in North America, United States, Highland park, Illinois. Before the Telephone had a name, it was called the Radiophone and known as the photophone. Alexander Graham himself was born Edinburgh, United Kingdom which is in Europe. Well Alexanders dad was a professor at Edinburgh what he taught was speech elocution. Anyways you ever wonder why the telephone was even made? Well Alexander himself was interested in the scientific background of sounds what also dedicated Alexander to make the telephone was that Alexanders mom had died making him want to put his experiments of sound to the test so Alexander wanted to send voice signals through a telegraph wire this is just the beginning of the Telephone if you fast forward. To the year 1990 the Telephone has already progressed in this Era the telephone was owned by 600,000 people and by 1905 Alexanders Telephone was owned by 2.2 million people around the world. This was just the beginning of an great invention to communicate by 1910 the phone was owned by 5.8 million people globally that’s when the Telephone started to get attention thanks to Transcontinental Telephone in 1907 the phone sold out like crazy at this time but it was all thanks to a guy named Antonio Meccci he was born and raised in Borgo San Frediano, Florence Italy, which is located in Europe. Now transition to the year 1930. 30 years later from 1900 where sadly in 1920 Alexander Graham Bell had died from age in Novia Scotia Canada he died when he was 75 years old. Since the passing from 1920 in 1930 a guy named Ericson Bakelite distributed the Telephone around the world well the phone back in the 1930s was different from back than if someone wanted to make a call they would dial a number and the persons phone would get a notification or a noise that alerts them someone is calling. Ericson Bakelite well he grew up in Leo Baekeland, New York, USA in 1907 in North America. Well if you zoom to the year the first cellphone was made by martin cooper he made the phone because he wanted the citizens of the world to be able to talk to people all around the world he wanted to make a more portable device and took him three months to make the prototype. In This year technology has developed since the year 1930 in the year 2000s a lot of phones were created during this time like the Nokia, Motorola Razr, Kyocera Slider, BlackBerry Pearl, Sony Ericsson Walkman phone, and the LG VX6100. At this time period all these phones were selling like crazy you could take them with you unlike the 1930s and all the other eras the 2000s had more of a selection of phones than the other earlier years but the main selling phone at this time was the Nokia the Nokia made 126 million units off of this phone and first released 1st of September 2000 and discontinued in 2005 and the headquarters of the Nokia was in Espoo Finland and area it was served was worldwide. Now 5 years later in 2005 blackberry’s were being sold all over the world and everyone wanted to get them without the contract it was 380$ this product was selling like crazy due to its ability to access email which was the first phone to be able to do that and could accesses unlimited web. 3 years later in 2008 was just getting bigger and bigger the phone itself was number one on the charts for best phone back in 2008 this phone was the (Blackberry Rim Curve) a lot of the reasons why it was top charted again was because the Government and their trust and faith in the company and because you could access limited web, email, and great security Which caught the buyers attention. In 2012 the blackberry was not out there as much because the phone itself died this is the year of the iPhone 4S why? This is why people had a big interest in this phone because of its ability to zoom in and out and scroll around and also accessing the web faster and having more freedom on the internet the phone itself was on a exclusive contract with the phone brand LG so apple and them coalbed and created this phone which interested buyers more the release date of this iPhone was October 11th 2011 but people mainly bought the product because of the collab and idea of the product itself.
in 2014 the Samsung galaxy note 4 was voted number one spot for best phone of the year in 2014 as a 16 megapixel camera with optical image and is more better than other phone camera it’s idea for the product was too make a phone with good camera quality and back than was known for best smart phone camera.
now if you go back four years ago you would have seen that the Samsung Galaxy note Four was the best phone back in 2014 but when we go to the future four years later the iPhone had redeemed itself by drooping the iPhone XR which was known as the phone with most value because of its fast performance and the great camera quality.
in 2020 the iPhone 11 was recommended as one of the best phones of 2020. and attracts its buyers by its faster speed, battery last longer, cameras have improved better dark mode and has three cameras too get more detail on what has been videotaped of photo’d and is an overall a great phone the iPhone 11 pro was released September 20th 2019 and has great reviews from people all around the world at the end of the timeline you can see how advanced and how much the evolution of the phone has involved from a radio phone to an iPhone 11 pro from no camera too camera we as humans and people have advanced and learned so much from technology and there is still much that will be improved.
