Electronics



      In the 1900's the phone changed the way we see the world and how the world acts. It all started with the rotary phone. The rotary phone had a unique way of dialing as you had to spin like a locker combination to call someone's number. The rotary phone was revolutionary as it allowed the process of information to move more quickly than in years prior when the only thing moving information was word of mouth. The rotary phone lead to the first cell phone or as my mother refers to it as a "bag" phone. A "bag phone" was a huge blocky cell phone that had a gigantic antenna. If you showed a photo of a bag phone to a millennial they would lose there minds.The "bag" phone was revolutionary  as it changed the way we talk to people as now we can walk and talk to people across states while on the move. The "bag" phone then lead to the flip phone. The flip phone was revolutionary based on it's size and it also introduced the world to texting. You could put a flip phone in your pocket as well as you could send messages across states via your cell phone. The flip phone lead to the Blackberry. The  Blackberry changed the way men did business as it was known globally as a business phone. Not that it is important but the Blackberry also had my favorite game of all time on it called "BrickBreaker" which helped bring upon the idea of gaming on the go and ultimately lead to smartphones. The Blackberry lead to a whole group of phones being made ultimately known as "smartphones". I am going to talk about the most important phone of all the smartphones in my eyes the iPhone. There have been many iPhones but the iPhone as a whole Brought the entire computer into a phone that we could carry around in our pockets. iPhones also created apps and or known by todays generation as applications that could allow you to do various things. These applications allow you to tell the weather, play chess with your friends across the country and even watch movies in a car. The iPhone has created millions of businesses that would have never have been a thought without past advancements such as the rotary phone, the"bag" phone, the flip phone and the Blackberry. This device has changed the way we get news. In my lifetime it has changed the way a generation acts and is perceived. My generation along with myself are so normalized with school shootings and crazy  natural disasters that it changes how our generation acts ,but the reason we are so used to it is because of the iPhone. There are goods and bad things that come with the revolution of products some people pick there sides depending on what point they are trying to make. Regardless, this device will shape future products out of this world the fact that we have a product that contains the entire internet in our pockets is insane to me. The amount of new apps for better or for worse will be insane.  What will happen in the future? I do not know ,but it will be something revolutionary.
