The Transformation of Cellphones

The function of cell phones has changed over the last 25 years, especially in its function and appearance. From 1995 to 2005, most people used traditional phones with a small screen and a small keyboard. At this period, the functions of phones were limited to being able to text messages and make a call. After traditional phones, flip phones and slide phones became more popular because of their sleeker designs and lighter weight. Their screens were bigger and the keyboards were easier to use; in addition, you could play music and games, all of which could not be done on traditional phones. Then, smartphones were designed with only one big touch screen and no keyboard. Some smartphones were even equipped with three cameras and more sophisticated audio features so as to bring more excitement in one’s life at the touch of a button. Overall, the appearance and function of cellphones have changed, and we look forward to what the future holds for cellphones.
