#11: Pretty Phones

Cell phones have come a long way! The first one was called the Motorola DynaTAC 8000X, was around 10 inches long, and weighed almost 2.5 pounds. And there’s the battery life, which was only about 30 minutes of talk time. But now, with the magic of technology, we have smartphones that are thinner than a pencil.

They can do anything except make us a coffee (although I’m sure someone’s working on that). And the battery life is so long that we can go days without charging it. Of course, now we have to worry about our phones being smarter than us and taking over the world! But let’s hope we have a while until that happens.
