Abstract

Technology has given us the ability to leave our house and take our phone and our phone number with us. We are no longer talking to family and friends on a corded telephone and teens are no longer held up in their rooms having telephone conversations with their friends. Heck, most of them do not even have verbal communication; instead, they use the text message to talk to one and other. The range of our cordless phones no longer provides a restriction for our phone conversations. With the advent of the new smartphones on the market, we do not even have to sit at our desktop to enjoy the World Wide Web. Every generation goes through their own technologically challenging times, it is just that technology is advancing quicker than ever before, but are our laws as well as those of the world keeping pace. This article review examines how two smartphone giants are duking it out in court.

    Despite the short amount of time since the introduction of the smartphone, the rapid development of the software and technology has had a tremendous effect on the everyday life in society today. The concept of communicating through a telephone was developed in the 1870s. Devices to transmit speech electrically were designed by Elisha Gray and Alexander Graham Bell, but Bell's design was patented first. On March 10, 1876, Alexander Graham Bell achieved one of his greatest successes in the making of the telephone. This brought upon a major change in communication and gave leeway to the improvement of the telephone in the days to come (Bellis, 2013b). During the 20th century there were many innovations regarding the telephone. In 1973, the first call from a portable phone was made Martin Cooper, who was a Motorola researcher and executive at the time. Since its inception, the advancement of cell phones has been exponential (Bellis, 2013a). As a result, cell phones have changed how society works in today's world.
