Living With Mobile: It’s Now A Part Of Everyday Life

The Amount Of Leverage We Have Is Incredible

Can you believe it? The mobile world is truly incredible. Where we are with technology now is only going get better by the day. We didn’t have it as good back in the day as we do today. It’s from here on out that we as the people will be living with mobile. It’s become something of a following and a shift in gear to the way we were living in previous years.

We use our mobile devices every day and for numerous reasons. Do you like the times we live in now? If you had opportunities to travel back to one or more time periods, would you be curious to know and see how technology was compared to now? In reality, we’ll just have to settle with information about it and hearing from older people through their experiences.

Some Aspects Of Mobile Technology History Can Be Unclear

It can be a surprise to many when history tells us that technology has existed for centuries. It just wasn’t as advanced previously. It’s even suggested that it goes back as far as the B.C. time period. You can’t help but wonder how far down the rabbit hole it really goes. Although we’ll never truly know what it was like during the ancient times, we can go off of the detailed information available to us now. We can only imagine what times were like before our time. Research can be interesting.

Technology Life In The Past Was Not As Advanced

We used to be a world where there was no such thing as mobile technology. We couldn’t communicate as quickly or as effectively. Talking will always be one of the most common forms of communication. When there come times when talking can’t immediately be the first choice option, we may need to do it in other ways whether they’re more simplistic or more sophisticated.

For more primitive ways of communication, these include cave paintings, pictographs, smoke signals, symbols, carrier pigeons, hand-written letters, telegraph and others. These would be more or less purer ways of improvising. Very few of the more ancient ways are still used today by areas of the world who have no little to no access to technology sources. Reason can vary. The older ways can also typically take longer.

For more modern ways, they include direct messaging, instant messaging, text messaging, email marketing. direct email, blogging, voice calling, social media and others. For the areas of the world who do have access to technology, the more modern ways are used more frequently. With that, communication tends to happen at faster rates. Surely there will be new ways in the future and we’ll just have to wait and see.

Transition In Communication Took Time And Still Will

Change in how the world communicated was gradual. There are many time periods of communication. So many that going into detail about all of them would take weeks, months or even years. Taking a step back in time as far as neccessary, the B.C. period up to the Middle Ages didn’t really have much to work with. Many areas of the world have their own language. Even before languages could be made possible, having an alphabet was needed first.

The ability to read and write would follow at some point during that time span. Verbal and written communication would be the next step up. Printing technology would follow suit as a new form. It was in the 14th century that it would introduce new methods. This would evolve all the way into the 20th century with photocopying. The printing press became one of the first forms of printing technology.

Now we get into one of the most familiar technology forms, telecommunication. Somehow, this stretches all the way back to the period of the Roman Empire. However, there was not much for the people in that era to go on as electricity was not invented yet. Benjamin Franklin will be mentioned again at some point later. The 18th century would see the emergence of the telegraph and morse code.

The 19th century really hit its mark when the phonograph, the telephone and fax machine would revolutionize communication. The evolution would only become greater with the turn of the 20th century. Radio, television, mobile phones, computers and internet would ultimately change the way the way we communicate with others forever. This would all pave the way with the turn into the 21st century.

Mobile Communication Would Forever Change The Pace

The 21st saw the evolution of many lifetimes. The phone, desktop and laptop computer would forever change the world. The desktop became popular during the early to mid 2000s. We now live in times where laptops will forever exceed the popularity of the desktop computer. However, the popularity of the laptop has constantly been challenged by its later developed counterparts. The evolution of technology has brought even more excitement.

Many of us are familiar with the tablet and the iPad. In a way, both of these mobile devices are evolved forms of the laptop. They both are also portable but smaller than the laptop making them even easier to carry around. Both the tablet and iPad act as hybrids of each other and of their previous counterparts.

This brings us to some of the most popular mobile device hybrids. First is the tablet. Many of us may find it surprising to know that the tablet goes back as far as the late 1980s. Its original name was the GridPad which some consider to be the first tablet. The late 2000s to early 2010s would be where its popularity started to surge.

Similar in style, the iPad would make an entrance of its own in the early 2010s. It would go on to become one of most popular mobile devices competing heavily with the tablet. Several variations or types of iPads have since hit the mainstream ever since its first appearance. With new technology inventions comes excitement, new trends and latest crazes that come with what new sensations that make their debut.

All of these inventions would broaden the horizon and methods how the world communicates. The internet has now become one of most modern ways. New platforms were launched and there would also be creation of something that we call apps. Many of the platforms that exist nowadays also have their own app. The list is large and the arsenal will only get larger. The communication platforms we know, have and use now include Sype, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Whatsapp, Instagram, Discord and TikTok.

Mobile Life Has Become Exciting

Who knew that we would ever be so fortunate to have such a massive amount of leverage with mobile technology? This way we can be more efficient during times when we need to take care of business. When we’re looking for entertainment, we can also look to mobile technology. Mobile life in the 21st century is really a sight to see. We have so many possibilities now and the future holds the answer to what other possibilities there could be.
