Technological Advances

There were many interesting technological advances throughout history. One very important technology was the smartphone. The smartphone completely changed the world as we know it today. The smartphone was first introduced to the world in 2007 and quickly evolved. Before 2007, the only handheld device with a small screen and similar look to the smartphone was the iPod Touch. The iPod allowed users to play music and a select amount of virtual games. The smartphone was so revolutionary because it was one device that can do everything. You were able to play music, play games, browse the internet and all with the addition of making calls and sending messages.

As of today, more than 5 billion people have smartphones and this has changed the way we communicate in our daily lives. The smartphone has given people the opportunity to share ideas with people thousands of miles away in seconds and allows the world to stay connected!

Imagine your own life and the amount of times a day you use your phone to text, browse the internet, and stay connected to your friends/ family. Without the invention of the smartphone your life would be completely different.
