A Brief Look at the (Surprisingly Long) History of the Cellphone

Imagining a time without smartphones is as hard as believing that bigger-than-bricks wireless phones ever existed outside of Saved By the Bell. Believe it or not though, even 10 years ago journalists were skeptically analyzing things like “text messengers” and “M-payments” that we now use without thinking.

Check out some of the milestones that contributed to the miracle in your back pocket:

1899: In an attempt to reduce maritime collisions, Italian inventor Russo d’Azar devises a wireless system that ships can use to communicate. The Times notes that the Italian Navy has “definite orders” to adopt the technology once it’s been perfected.

1946: Ralph Hersey, a native of New Jersey, receives a patent for a combinationradio-telephone system that doesn’t rely on wires to send transmissions.

1973: Motorola releases the “Dyna T-A-C,” the first wireless portable phone. The device weighs just under two pounds, and “can connect with any telephone anywhere.”
