enormous.The machinery filled the boot of the car!More than a portable phone,it was a mobile phone box!One of the first users was a doctor in Sweden.Unfortunately,the phone needed so much power that he could only make two calls before the battery went dead.The first to his patient,and the second to the garage to get someone to come and fix his flat battery.By the mid-1960s phones were small enough to fit into the front of a car,but unfortunately,they were still too heavy for people to carry around.They were also extremely expensive.So,it was no surprise that they didn't become popular.

enormous. The machinery filled the boot of the car! More than a portable phone , it was a mobile phone box! One of the first users was a doctor in Sweden. Unfortunately , the phone needed so much power that he could only make two calls before the battery went dead. The first to his patient , and the second to the garage to get someone to come and fix his flat battery. By the mid-1960s phones were small enough to fit into the front of a car, but unfortunately , they were still too heavy for people to carry around. They were also extremely expensive. So , it was no surprise that they didn' t become popular. And then Mr Cooper made a call.

And while I have my crystal ball out , here are some more predictions about how we will communicate in the future. .. . Firstly , I think people will forget how to write because all communications will be oral. And one day before too long we will have phones with 3D video screens which allow you to see your friends and watch TV! More good news: phone calls will be free - th巳y'll be paid for by advertising!
