Mobile phones have changed a great deal over the years but what’s next to come in the Mobile phone revolution?

The mobile phone revolution has changed a great deal over the past fifty years; the mobile phone technology was first invented in 1947 by a company called bell labs.

This is a picture of the first mobile phone advert and you can see from the picture the phone is not far off the mobile phones available on the market today.

The first mobile phone was released to the public in the early 1980’s; the phone was called the Nordic Mobile Telephone and was released in 1981.

Up until the late 1980’s, most openly available mobile phones were too large to fit in a coat pocket, the phones were usually permanently installed in cars as a car phone due to the sheer size of the devices.

With technology development came smaller components meaning the phones could be made smaller and lighter.

It comes as no surprise that 80% of the world’s population has mobile phone coverage. 50% of children in the USA now own a mobile phone.

This picture shows how mobile phones have changed over the years starting from the big chunky 1980’s mobile to the tiny phones we have today.

At one time mobile phones were an item owned by the wealthy or for business purposes, however now mobile phones are easily affordable and can be used on pay as you tariffs eradicating monthly contracts.

In 1997 the camera phone was developed this now accounts for 85% of the mobile phone market.

The latest mobile phone technology to be released is mobiles operating on a WiFi signal, This WiFi signal is used in partnership with VOIP.

VOIP is a way of taking our current method of talking (Analog Audio Signals) and adapting them to become Digital Data that can be transmitted over the internet.

This makes the call costs are a fraction of what they are using the traditional mobile phones, although at current VoIP is currently not available everywhere and can only be used where a wireless internet connection is available.

VoIP is set to be the next revolution in the mobile phone industry and will soon be built into standard phones.

The current VoIP Mobiles available on the market use both the old way of making a phone call and VoIP, so if a wireless internet connection is unavailable you can still use the traditional method giving you the best of both worlds.

It will be interesting to see when this technology becomes the industry standard.
