A history of smartphones

         Since right now pretty much everyone uses a smartphone it doesn't matter if it's an iPhone, blackberry, Samsung, etc. It's all smartphones and since right now world smartphone usage total has passed the billion mark in 20 years. A lot of company have been earning a lot of money from all these kind of smartphones. Right now I think 9/10 people on street would be using a smartphone. This website show the most important 20 type of smartphone which start from Bell south IBM Simon to iPhones. So these are all the types of smartphones in the world that are really important to start all the other smartphones.
         I think this article is really cool because now like I said before 9/10 people on street probably have/use an smartphone. So looking at all these phone to see what they evolve from is really cool, because this is really what surrounds our whole world. So reading this article really teach me that everything new products are all evolve from  an old device and all these device are what is really motivate these company to make the smartphones.

Major Concept:

• The usage of smartphone have been use for over a billion usages.
• The different type of important types of smartphones. 
• How all these smartphone develop into the one we are using.
• Tell us how long smartphone have been around.

Potential Strength/Advantages

• There are some strength and advantages for example he said that the usage of smartphone have gone over billions. I think this is a very strong argument because it just show that how many people have been using smartphones.
• It just make me realize how long smartphone have been around for 20 years and these are the 20 most important smartphones. I say that because I think that smartphone have only been around since 2005 or so.

Potential Problems/Limitations/Disadvantages

• I think he could possibly overlook some of the 20 years like I see some smartphones in this article that I believe isn't really that important. Maybe some things inside of the phone that make it important but it's not that I know of.
• Other than that there is nothing really that is a main weakness of this article.

Discussion Questions

• I would want to know what are the types of smartphone that makes it important and how it contribute with the other smartphones?
• Are there some smartphones that will help us understand how it develop?
