My first mobile phone was the*Ericsson A1018s. I bought it at a gas station in 1999 when I was 11 years old. Some of its biggest features were the ability to change the ringtone (there were 12 options) and caller ID — impressive, I know. You could also customize the device by getting a keyboard plate with a different color.

Technology has come a long way since. Today’s smartphones sport large touchscreen displays, impressive cameras, and a bunch of high-tech features. While phones were primarily used for making calls back in the day, we now use them for things like listening to music, browsing the web, playing games, and watching cat videos on YouTube.
