How the Mobile Phone Has Evolved 

The first mobile phone was released 40 years ago. Martin Cooper created the first one in New York City. You could only talk about maybe 20 minutes on it but it was better than nothing. The first mobile phone has about the size of a brick and today the iPhone 5 weighs the same as 2 eggs. (Buck, 2013)

Mashable created this infographic so you can see how much the look of mobile phones has changed:

Now just imagine how much the design of the mobile phone is going to change in the next 40 years to come. We have gone from brick size to half an inch thick, what will be next?

What did your first mobile phone look like?
