      From: malQRMassimilation@gmail.com              It has now been 50 years since the first ever call was made from a       cell phone. This call was made by Martin Cooper, who was an engineer       working at Motorola at the time. Over the half century that has passed       since then, cell phones have advanced by several orders of magnitude,       quickly becoming essential items for every single person to own.              The shift to smartphones made these cellular devices even more useful       than might have been the case otherwise. People needed a smartphone       because of the fact that this is the sort of thing that could       potentially end up keeping them well connected and helping them with       socialization and work.              https://www.digitalinformationworld.com/2023/04/there-are-now-mo       e-phones-than-people.html              --       (Please remove QRM for direct replies)              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
