The phone in its early stages

One of the earliest recorded experiments on creating communication that can be transmitted from

a distance where direct speech is not attainable were those conducted by the British physicist and

polymath Robert Hooke from 1664 to 1685. An acoustic string phone made in 1667 is attributed

to him. But the true surge of these communication devices started at the 20th century; On April 3,

1973 Motorola manager Martin Cooper placed a cellular phone call (in front of reporters) to Dr.

Joel S. Engel, head of research at AT&T's Bell Labs. This began the era of the handheld cellular

mobile phone. The phone later on became a necessity just like any other.

future” (2). “Small, stylish and versatile modern mobile devices [that] have become powerful

With this prototype device, you got 30 minutes of talk-time and it took around 10 hours to charge.”(knowyourmobile). Back then cell phones weren’t as flashy but everyone was just as excited for them as they are now. “Many of the early cell phones were considered to be “car phones,” as they were too large and cumbersome to carry around in a pocket or purse. However, in 1983, the Motorola DynaTAC 8000x arrived on the market. Though huge by today’s standards, it was considered the first truly mobile phone because it was small enough to carry.”(artinstitutes).
