However, one of the most popular phones today is the Smartphone. To understand how it’s used has become synonymous with success, so let’s look into the history and progression of the normal cellular phone into the ultimate technological success story that we call the Smartphone.

Initially, the use of cell phones was extremely limited and there was a very small percentage of the population who used them or even felt the need for them. People relied more or less on regular home telephones for their personal use. Like they say, ‘You don’t miss what you don’t have’. They were mostly used by professionals and entrepreneurs, and even then to a very small extent. As more and more companies started exploring this untapped market, the use of cellular phones gradually increased. These earlier phones were very basic and large in size. With growing competition between various companies, the mobile phones progressed by leaps and bounds. The larger size was trimmed down to a sleeker, easier-to-handle version and more and more applications were added to it. By this time, the use of cell phones was so common that it was impossible to visualize life without them. What was supposed to be a means of communication between people became a symbol of success for some, while for others it became a part of their day to day routines.
