It has now been 50 years since the first ever call was made from a
cell phone. This call was made by Martin Cooper, who was an engineer
working at Motorola at the time. Over the half century that has passed
since then, cell phones have advanced by several orders of magnitude,
quickly becoming essential items for every single person to own.

The shift to smartphones made these cellular devices even more useful
than might have been the case otherwise. People needed a smartphone
because of the fact that this is the sort of thing that could
potentially end up keeping them well connected and helping them with
socialization and work.
