Cell Phone and Internet create great marriage
The past hundred or so years brought us the telegraph, the telephone and radio communication. But it was back in the past 25 or so years when someone got the bright idea of combining the radio and telephone technologies. That gave us the cellphone, which is fast becoming the most popular personal communications device of the 21st century.
And, of course, there’s the Internet. The cellphone and the Internet make up a major portion of the personal-communications pie today.
Now it seems the next big thing is coming up with ways to combine the cellphone and the Internet. After all, look what happened when we combined radio and the telephone. So now we’re seeing some interesting results.
Voice-over Internet Protocol, or VoIP, is one example of how we can speak over the Internet rather than just type something. Services like Skype and Vonage are continuing to grow rapidly.
