00:09Few inventions changed the world faster than the telephone. The first commercial telephones
00:15became available around the world in the 1880s, but back then the original candlestick telephone
00:22was considered to be so ugly that consumers began purchasing or making cozies that would
00:27sit over them. Once the rotary dial landline became more accessible throughout the 1900s
00:44to the 1970s, designers exploded with unique and odd options. Originally, Operator Girls
00:57would place calls for 8 to 10 hours per day, so if you needed to make a call after 8pm,
01:04well, you couldn't.
01:06Eventually, Operator Girls were replaced by electronic switchboards which were capable of functioning 24-7.
01:15Hello everyone, I'm from your telephone company. I'd like to tell you about a few pointers to be followed in
01:22dialing.
01:22By the 1980s, phone networks were becoming digital as optical fibre began replacing the copper wire networks,
01:30and then came the mobile boom. Brick phones, as they've been affectionately known,
01:37were only available for some and were mostly used for business purposes.
01:49By the 1990s, mobile technology had become so widespread, and with that came options. From the flip phones,
01:56to the Motorola Edge, to the iconic king of the bricks, the Nokia 3310. May he live long and prosper.
02:05With the turn of the millennium came the advent of smart technology, with the iPhone bursting onto the market in
02:12January 2007.
02:14In Australia, the first generation 8GB iPhone 3G became available for purchase in July 2008, for the low, low price
02:22of $729.
02:25Despite their supremacy in the market these days, only 66% of the world's smartphone users actually use their phones
02:33to make voice calls on a daily basis,
02:35according to YouGov surveys. Smartphones are more likely to be used for internet browsing, messaging and personal organisation tasks.
02:43By contrast, the Australian Communications and Media Authority estimates that only 12% or 1 in 8 adults in Australia
02:51actively use a household landline,
02:54even if 37% of households retain the physical landline connection.
02:59It's a far cry from the original function of Alexander Graham Bell's 1876 phone concept.
03:05Bye-bye.
03:13Very lots of people around the world.
03:13You're the world roaming around on Wav nose jab over the world.
