The history of the phone has developed over the past one hundred years but not nearly as influential or rapidly world changing as it has been in the past 20 years. The invention and public use of the mobile telephone, or the cell phone, has been the most rapidly increasing technology ever created. In 1990 it was reported that there were 11 million cell phone users in the world. By 2008 it had increased to 320 million and by 2009 increased to 550million users in the world.
The technology dependent generation, or the digital age, has been conformed around the idea of technology communication and the greatest addiction is the mobile use of a cell phone. Not only the ability to call and not be restricted to a phone line but to text, check face book, email, order movie tickets, record sounds, download music, watch movies. The technology is changing year to year, each cell company competing with each other to create the newest and most compacted, yet widest abilities for their cell phone. Apples newest advertisement for their Iphone shows the costumer using the phone to turn off the lights in their house.
It is these desires by the costumers to have the newest and latest technology that drives these companies to compete. And the demand for such amenities has rapidly changed the design of the cell phone from something that is not only comfortable to talk to but user friendly for all of the other needs like, music, movie watching texting. The demand for a bigger screen, and keyboard like keys have been in the mind of designers when creating some of the latest phone designs.
