Purpose:
At the end of my speech, the audience will be able to see how far technology has come and be informed of how it has changed our lives.
Intro:
Imagine for a moment that you’re in the 1900s. You wake up and go to check your phone. What you pick up is not your iPhone, Samsung Galaxy, or even a smart phone. You stare at it puzzled, because it resembles a brick and looks like a dinosaur to you. Well what you just grasped was not the kind of cell phone you’re used to, it is actually one of the first cell phones ever invented.
Today I’d like to answer these questions that can help you picture what life was like with such little technology: First, what was the first cell phone and who invented it? Second, who could afford it and what could it do? And third, what are some other examples of advances in technology and how have they affected us.
