Why Cell Phones Used To Be So Big 😱

[duke_dhanush_]

That's why it was used for different purposes back then. Our grandparents used to build a house, make furnitures and make phone calls with the same phone.

You can build a house out of those old cell-phones instead of bricks and that house would survive a magnitude 10 earthquake.

Short answer: technology got better and smaller

[kffeinverds]

Did anyone actually think old technology was bulky because of a design choice though?

I like how this guy assumes that a cellphone with a CRT screen would be lighter than the Brick phone....

[ZelMG]

If apple releases a cellphone like that and it’s really work, it’ll sell TODAY 100%

"well ur left with a brick"
bro got me smiling

[JoshuaGreyJensen]

How come the first iteration of a new technology wasn't smaller, more elegant, and better thought out like we would could imagine redoing it today?
Because it was the first iteration of a new technology that used the available techniques and technology at that time...

Wow, mind blowing 😂

[alecxander]

the name cell phone suddenly makes so much more sense.

[SirFunky]

Honestly I thought this went without saying

[yeayeh]

Adding cellphones to my brick collection, then...

"your left with a brick..." 😂😂

I swear my guy sometimes you gotta explain the most basic stuff known to man 💀

[BoopidKadoopid]

Yeah I always thought it was obvious to have bulkier circuitry considering we have microscopic computers now.

Bro got the construction PDA from dell conagher 💀

And that’s why Leon Edward has the most aesthetic physique on the solar system

Blud made the pipboy 2000 from fallout in the beginning

[DrThreeEyes]

All those older women never told us dildos originated from cellphone battery packs

[MrSTO]

Fun fact: when computers or just technology in general first started to get popular, they are actually more expensive then they were roday because of how new they were to us.

Old phones were a weapon on their own💀
