To everything there is a history and a story attached, so in this article I would be writing about the evolution of telephones with the aid of pictures and some funny comments so we won't get bored..i won't be starting from the days of Alexander graham bell when he created the telephone but I am going to start from a point where telephones have a more defining structure..from the 1930s
The era of the desk set
The era of the desk set
Note: there were some telephones before the desk set, but were not popular and only limited to top government officials.
The touch tone telephones emerged
Without wasting time I move to the 1960s where have the TOUCH TONE telephones, also known as Land line phones now I am sure we are all familiar with these telephones, we could still see it lying around somewhere in the house and some people still use it today, you can see it being used in governmental agencies and private parastatals,this phone made a turning point in phones manufacturing industry, because every phone made after it has buttons .now let's move to the next one.

Giant old antenna phones!
Hurray! What a huge turn in the phone manufacturing industry, now we can now take our phones from one place to another, we can place a call wherever we are, this is as a result of the advent of the big giant phones with pretty long antennas that looks like a walkie talkie, but this freedom and development came with a price, the phone weighs 'a ton' it was too heavy for the hand to hold always, so people suffered from hand pains and aches, till today this is a major disavantage of the phone .

Freed from handache phones
Due to the complaints of people all over the world on the weight of the giant phones, phone manufacturers reduced the weight to make it more comfortable for users and it was successful, not only can we take our phones around, we don't have to worry about using painkiller pills anymore, but as the size reduced, so do the antennas, till there were no more antennas
The antennas were discarded
Now do you notice any difference ? yes, there are no more antennas on the phones, the phone manufacturers had found a way to make the phone function well without the use of the antennas. the popular Nokia 3310 featured well in this era and was the first of its kind to have no antennas.

Now we can design our phones
Now before this era, manufactured phones had undergone a lot of development, phones can now carry out many functions like internet, converter , radio etc and can now play different games .there were now many manufacturers competing with each other in the industry e.g Nokia, Motorola, Sony erricson, etc
phone makers decided to explore various aspects of designing and reconstructing to attract consumers and have a upper hand in the market so they started making sliding phones , open and close phones etc
mind you these type of phones are still are in vogue today.
Smartphones; hurray!
Blackberry is a notable mention in the league of smartphones , these phones can do a whole lotta thing than the normal phones, they can carry out some functions, that can only be done on a computer .blackberry are still making good phones today.
I Love Touchscreens
Presently in this stage of touchscreens smartphones ; android, tablet, Iphones, windows, tablets etc fall into this category, we have evoluted from no buttons to buttons and to no buttons again.
These smartphones can carry out many functions and has a lot of capabilities.
We have really come a long way in the
Phones making industry
now our phones are more designed and sophtiscated, and it can only get better.
I envisioned the phones that would be trending in the futures and generations to come, that time when the phones we are using now will join the desk set phones in the museum , till then , let us enjoy and savour the moment..
