Documentary Script
40
years ago Motorola announced the DynaTac 8000, the first portable telephone. It
was the size of your forearm, weighed 1 and a half kilograms and had a battery
that lasted 20 minutes.
Surprisingly,
this was seen as the definition of success, only the rich could afford one, if
you saw someone walking down the street with such a device; he was a somebody.
This $4000 device initiated the portable telephone trend; deemed the cell phone.

Motorola had sold 1200 of those early 80s contraptions,
Now 40 years on from the inception of that gadget, and we
have seen cell phones develop in unimaginable ways.
They have now become lighter, more powerful, able to do more
than call, and above all; cheaper. This has made the cell phone more accessible
to everyone.
The
constant improvements meant that now we have gone from this to this ,
no not that, This
The development has now taken smartphones into the hands of
the general public, where now it seems that everybody owns one. It’s the social
norm, Almost 1 billion smartphones were shipped in 2013 alone, and if that
didn’t shock you Apple sold 10 million iPhones in the first weekend of release.
Today we’re going to visit Solihull Sixth Form to ask
students and teachers on why smartphones are so relevant now, why they’re
necessary and why people use them.
