CELL PHONE HISTORY




FOUR decades ago, two hands and a power cord were 
needed to use the world's first mobile phone.

Four minutes ago, you probably checked your 
messages, sent an email, paid a bill and told the world 
what you were doing at that exact moment, all from the 
palm of your hand.

Yesterday marked the 40th anniversary of the first 
successful call from a mobile phone, which weighed 1kg.

"The next phase that is emerging is wearing 
technology," Telstra Southern Queensland area general
 manager Nigel Beaman said, adding advancements are
 showing no signs of slowing.

"Our whole lifestyles have changed with mobile phones."

Mr Beaman said near field communication - similar to 
Pay wave technology used by credit cards - would soon
 make the need for wallets and purses redundant.
