Everybody is using a small digital device known as "Smart Phone".From a young kid to the old man everyone is busy in that digital device but no one knows that how it came to our hand and when it was invented and how we can take advantages from this device.No one thinks like this they are only watching films, calls , using for Mobile Games etc.
Apple is largely credited with kicking off the smartphone boom in 2007 with the original iPhone. Of course, the iPhone was not the first smartphone that came many years earlier, and it surprisingly didn't bear the name of BlackBerry or Nokia. Let's hop in the Wayback Machine.
Before we go back to the first smartphone, let's know a bit further back to the first mobile phone. The first handheld cell phone was shown off in 1973 by John F. Mitchell and Martin Cooper of Motorola, but the fruits of that labor were not seen until 1983, when the company's first mobile phone hit the market.
That phone was the Motorola DynaTAC 8000X . That phone was like a landline Phone we are using now a days but the battery timing was short and you could talk just 30 minutes with someone. It has an LED display and it could store up to 30 phone numbers for quick dialing. It was fancy but not cheaper. It costs around $3,995 In 1994. And if we calculate that amount in today currency so it cool $12k. Now watch some eyes on the first smart phone .
The first smart phone was design and invented by IBM and that phone was called the "Simon Personal Communicator".The term "smartphone" didn't even exist yet, and the device wouldn't be available to purchase for two more years. But the IBM Simon had many of the features that we've come to expect from smartphones.
First and foremost, it had a touchscreen. It was a 4.5 x 1.4 inch monochrome LCD touchscreen that required a stylus, but a touchscreen nonetheless. The Simon could make phone calls, send and receive emails and faxes, and it had a handful of applications. Those apps included some classics, such as an address book, calculator, calendar, world clock, and notepad.
Bad battery life has also been a core feature of the smartphone experience since the start. The IBM Simon lasted only one hour on a charge. Powering the device was a 16MHz CPU and 1MB of RAM. It was 1.5 inches thick and weighed over one pound.
At the time, the Simon fell under the PDA category (personal digital assistant, but not that kind). However, PDAs rarely were actual phones with cellular connectivity, which is why it's retroactively been put under the smartphone umbrella. All that cutting-edge tech cost consumers $900 ($1.8K now) with a two-year contract with BellSouth Cellular or $1,100 ($2.3K now) outright.
Smartphones have come a long way since the 90s, but new technology always has to start somewhere. 10-20 years from now, people may look back at our smartphones and foldable devices as very rudimentary devices. But it will still all be thanks to the Motorola DynaTAC, IBM Simon, and countless other devices that changed the world.And now a modern technology, features were added in a little and smart digital device and it works smoothly and you could take advantages from this technologies easily. Now , Smart Phone has many shapes like smart watch because it has the same features installed which are in any Smart Phone.
