Happy Anniversary Cell Phone


Today marks the 25th anniversary of the first cell phone call. How did we every live without our cell phones. Mine is attached to my hand! Along with myself, 84% of the US population owns a cell phone. Cell phones have become a necessity. Even ½ of all 8-12 year olds, have a cell phone. Some individuals have even removed their land line and use their cell phone as their home phone as well.
The first phone call was made on the Motorola DynaTAC 8000 X -- AKA The Brick Phone. It weighed about 2.5 pounds and would have cost you about $4000.
Cell phones in those days were gadgets for the super wealthy. But today, cell phones have become an essential part of our culture.
