104. From Bricks To Smartphones: The History Of Cell Phones

Before sleek smartphones fit in our pockets, mobile phones were clunky, expensive, and reserved for the few who could afford them. In this episode, we take you on a journey through the history of cell phones-starting with the very first mobile call in the 70's, the "brick phones" of the 80's, the rise of the flip phone in the 90's, and the smart phone revolution that reshaped our world in the 2000s. We also dive into the past data plans, roaming charges, nights and weekends free, app features, and more.
