Evolution of Phones: From Telephone to Smartphone!

In this video, we look at the history of telephones and how they've drastically changed.
While you may not remember the candlestick phone, many of you have probably used, or at least seen a rotary phone. And for those of you who grew up in the age of the smartphone, you don't know how good you've got it. Never missing a call (or a text), never waiting by the phone for that special someone to call, and then being stuck standing in the kitchen to talk because that's where the only phone was - bolted to the wall! So, see how we went from landlines and answering machines to flip phones and iPhones, as we look at the telephone now and the advancements made since way back then.
