The Invention of the Cell Phone

In society today it is very rare to find someone who does not own a cell phone. There are ten year old children running around with iPhones. Cell phones have become such an important part of society. They have come along way with the advancements made in technology to allow these phones to do more than you would think possible. We now not only use them to contact people, but use them for social media, to take pictures, surf the web, and get information at the touch of our fingers. It is crazy to think that at one point there were no cell phones. Without the use of chemistry we would not have the cell phones that we use today. Chemistry is defined by the Holt Modern Chemistry textbook as the scientific study of the composition, structure, and properties of matter and the changes that matter undergoes. Chemistry is responsible for the batteries that are in all our our cell phones. Without these batteries there would be no phone. The battery is the main power source of the phone and without it then the phone would not work.
Chemistry is used in our everyday life in more ways than we may think. One way that we use chemistry is in the batteries in our cell phones. They are solely responsible for the phone actually turing on and being powered to run. Most cell phones are powered with a rechargeable Lithium-ion battery. Lithium-ion batteries are commonly used in digital cameras and even in electric cars. These batteries are made of lithium cobalt cathode and carbon anode.
As long as I’ve lived there has always been some form of a mobile phone. Before the invention of cell phones I imagine that the world was a lot more mystery in the world. Now we can find all information on our phones. We have phone addicts who have to have their phone ...

...e are going to rely solely on our phones for everything. That is what the world is coming to as the cell phones keep getting more and more advanced. We will be so absorbed in our cell phones that we will hardly notice the others around us.
Cell phones are great in many ways and have very few draw backs. Without chemistry there would be no cell phone. We would lack many of the parts that are essential to make a cell phone without the knowledge that is known of chemistry. As we learn more about chemistry we are allowed to put more towards the advances of cellphones and technology in general. Things have changed a lot since the first cell phone and they will continue to rapidly change the face of the cell phone. Life with a cell phone has given us a lot of freedom and made it easier to communicate and they have greatly impacted the everyday life of people who own one.
