In this day of high tech gadgets and toys, the Mobile Phone, or Cellular Phone inundates the market with products for every level of user. While a patent was issued as early as 1908 for a mobile phone unit, the actual technology of cellular network calling, as we know it today wasn’t established until 1984 in Japan. Even at this early time, mobile phones were too large to be carried easily in a pocket so most were installed in vehicles to be used as car phones until 1990.
The mobile phone has become so popular in some countries that the numbers of phones outnumber the population. Africa currently has the largest growth rate of mobile phone subscribers and India has the largest growth market, adding 6 million subscribers every month.
What once began as a rare and expensive form of communication has suddenly become the worlds most common and inexpensive item kept on a person. In the U.S. 50 percent of children carry their own mobile phone. In many countries, mobile phones outnumber landline phones. This is due to the ease of use and the cost. Where it is more expensive to run a phone line throughout a town or village, people can own mobile phones at a much more affordable rate.
