Mobile phones have become a big part of our lives. Over the they have changed our lives in millions of ways. The first mobile phone was made in 1973 and the first were sold in the late 70's. They big and bulky but slowly started to get more and more convenient over the following years.
Before mobiles, the main way of communicating was mail and face to face but ever since mobiles were introduced, they have been slowly taking over until now where there is about 6 billion mobile phone subscribers in the world.

Before mobiles, people only communicated with people around them; close family members, neighbours, etc. If they wanted to communicate with someone further away, they would have to send a letter which could take weeks to arrive. As soon as mobile phones became popular they started a new way of communicating because you could talk to who ever you wanted to as long as you both had a mobile. Soon after phones were developed, messaging was also introduced which even further changed the way we communicate by giving us the ability to text others instantly, it was just like mail but instant therefore hand mail slowly started to vanish until now when mail is mainly used for documents or special occasions.
Mobiles have developed so much over the years that they only give us the option to ring and text others but also to play games, record and watch videos, take pictures, use e-mail, check time, surf the web, play music, and lots more. They have became so important to people that some of them spend several hours on their phone every day.
