The official arrival of mobile telephony in Spain is dated in the year 1976. Occurred with the TAV (automatic vehicle telephone) service and was limited to its use in vehicles in the cities of Barcelona and Madrid. Since then this technology has advanced to steps fast and since the year 2006 there are more lines of mobile that inhabitants in our country.
Many things have changed since the arrival of the first mobile phones and thanks to the advancement of technology, we can say that our whole life has changed. Current mobile phones serve not only to make calls, but they keep us connected to the Internet at all times, allow us to communicate across different channels, consume all kinds of information, play all kinds of games (from type games puzzle or platforms, to others that were previously limited to very specific areas such as gaming type roulette or poker) and even buy any product from virtually any location in which We find and receive it comfortably at home.
After the arrival of the first mobile, the arrival of the iPhone in 2007 was a before and an after. Smartphones began to take prominence to ‘normal’ phones, and today it is rare to see a person who does not always wear over their smartphone.
Smartphones have managed to revolutionize the habits of the society in a very short time
These “phones smart” have got changed many of our habits in few years. Not so long ago it was common to make a call to communicate quickly with anyone. Call that should pay according to the location of that other person. Currently this already not is so, although is still making calls of voice normal, is more usual write through apps of Messaging Instant as WhatsApp or Telegram, send messages of voice through them same apps or even make video calls. All this without having to pay by that communication concrete, thanks to the use of Internet for that type of communications.
But the way in which we communicate is not the only thing that has changed in recent years. The popularization of the web mobile and the arrival of the App Store in 2008 opened the path for a lot of new services that have conquered our life. The apps have made possible that today is possible ask food directly from our smartphone thanks to apps like Just Eat. We can buy almost any product through Amazon or Aliexpress apps and receive it in the direction you want comfortably.
Even that I can play casino games regarding our superheroes favorite style slots, Roulette or slots as it is the case of Casino.com. When before had that exit of House and go to a casino physical to be able to win money. Although, of course, there are others games that US force to lift us of the sofa and exit, as for example the Pokemon GO of Niantic, Inc that us encourages to exit to hunt creatures virtual for advance in the title.
Smartphones have also allowed us to carry the best camera for photo and video possible, that we always have at our disposal. This allows us to keep all our memories, edit them on the fly if you need and share them with people who may be thousands of km, but to possibly see it instantly.
Information now flows faster than ever. Thanks to social networks like Twitter, Facebook or even others like Instagram or Snapchat, we can know at the moment what is happening anywhere in the world. Streaming video allows us to follow an event live with a delay of a few seconds. In addition, such services have enabled all of us can be generators of information and create our communities around people interested in what we have to have; something that until a few years ago was limited to mass media companies with bloated budgets.
There is no doubt that the world in which we live has changed a lot since the boom of smartphones caused initially by the iPhone from Apple. The Cupertino company came with its first “mobile phone” at a time in which this industry was somewhat stagnant, managed to give a great push and as a result today have smartphones that we have.
This drive also managed millions of developers around the world are thrown to create services and mobile apps of all kinds. Thanks to them we can play from our devices against people from all over the world in all kinds of games, buy comfortably from the couch or communicate with anyone in the world to give some examples.
What they store us the next few years? Do we will continue moving forward at the pace that we have done so far? We don’t know what will happen, but we certainly hope Apple and other hardware manufacturers to continue improving the devices so that software developers can continue to create apps and services that allow us to take still more advantage of these devices without whom today we could not live.
