Remember, not so long ago, when the telephone to be a simple receiver

connected by a wire to wall? And all you used your phone for was to make a phone

call? Today, new technology has changed the telephone and what people use it for.

Computer-based technology has given us instant connections and clearer

conversations over the telephone. Nowadays, people use telephones to their

their home computers to computerized information centers. People also send letters

shortly for sending video pictures over the telephone.

But you don't need to be at home or at the office to use the telephone

anymore. Mobile phones (also known as cellular phones) have no wires. You can

carry one in your pocket or keep one in your car. A call from a mobile phone

travels along radio waves to stations located in different places. From there, the

radio signal is connected to the regular phone system. With a mobile phone,

anyone who can drive and talk can also drive and phone. This means less wasted

time: You don't have to look for a phone booth or use coins to make a call. So remember, next time you are at the beach or riding your bicycle, there might be a

call for you!
