In 1946, Motorola invented the first kind of mobile phone. The phone was particularly large. It had a traditional mic and speaker headset with a cord connected to a box- size of a shoebox. Once you charged your phone for 10 hours, you were able to get thirty minutes of talk time. Not to mention, making calls was very expensive. It would cost you seven dollars a minute and overall one hundred seventy nine dollars a month. Today, you will find mobile phones as thin as paper. The service will cost you anywhere from thirty to a hundred dollars. Kids at the age of ten and some even younger flaunt their “iPhones” around.

Today, smartphones help people become efficient, keep them connected with the world, and as mentioned in the name, make you smarter. But, you do have to use them wisely, overdosing on technology can mess up your life. It will affect more than just your pockets; your way of live will go right down the gutter as well.

With the app you can also chat with your friends and
