Ancient era :-
In 1876, Alexander Graham Bell was the first to be
granted a United States patent for a device that
produced clearly intelligible replication of the
human voice at a second device.[2] This instrument
was further developed by many others, and
became rapidly indispensable
in business, government, and in households.
A telephone is a telecommunications device that
permits two or more users to conduct
a conversation when they are too far apart to be
heard directly. A telephone converts sound, typically and most
efficiently the human voice, into electronic signals that are
transmitted via cables and other communication channels to
another telephone which reproduces the sound to the
receiving user.
Middle era :-
A handheld mobile radio telephone service
was envisioned in the early stages of radio
engineering. In 1917, Finnish inventor Eric
Tigerstedt filed a patent for a "pocket-size
folding telephone with a very thin carbon
microphone". Early predecessors of cellular
phones included analog radio
communications from ships and trains. The race to create truly
portable telephone devices began after World War II, with
developments taking place in many countries. The advances
in mobile telephony have been traced in successive
"generations", starting with the early zeroth-generation
services, such as Bell System's Mobile Telephone Service and
its successor, the Improved Mobile Telephone Service. These
0G systems were not cellular, supported few simultaneous
calls, and were very expensive.
Modern era :-
And just like that, we’ve reached modern day. Since the launch
of the iPhone twelve years ago, we’ve seen:
21 new iPhones
The advent of the Android—
Google’s answer to the iPhone
The rise of apps (and the
monetization of them)
A new kind of artist known as a
mobile photographer
Texting and messaging taking
place through wireless
connections
