Allowing owners of this device to be more mobile and talk to people possibly hundreds of miles away, with no cord attached, “Today, there are more cellular subscribers than wireline phone subscribers in the world, with mobile phones weighing as little as 3 ounces.”(Newstream/Arraycomm, Martin Cooper – History of Cell Phone) A company called Skype also improved the way we communicate, not only having international calling, but also allowing face to face communication with the use of web cams or and type of front facing camera on any
