A telephone is an electronic tool. Using a telephone, two people who are in different places can talk to each other. Early telephones needed to be connected with wires which are called fixed or landline telephones. Now telephone calls can be sent with radio. This is called wireless or cordless. Alexander Graham Bell was the first person to invent the telephone, in 1876. Early telephones were connected directly to each other and could only talk to the phone that they were connected to. Later, telephone exchanges allowed connecting to other telephones. A telephone that can be carried around is called a mobile phone or cell phone. These became popular in the late 1980s. These days, people carry mobile phones and in some cities or countries it is unusual to not have one. Some mobile phones are able to make telephone calls using communications satellites, which means people can make calls from anywhere in the world. A smartphone is a mobile phone that can do more than other phones. They are like a computer, but they are small enough to fit in someone’s hand. Today, most smartphones are able to run more than one application at the same time which helps the user do things quicker and easier. Users are also able to get more applications from the manufacturer, such as the Apple App Store and Google Play which can help them more. 3G was introduced in 2002. This is like a DSL or low modem speed. Most smartphones use 3G technology to make them fast enough to practically use internet and other data features. Faster 4G networks operate in many places. Many smartphones introduced after 2010 use 4G technology.
