Evolution of Telephones in Nigeria

To everything, there is a history and a story attached, we will be looking at the history of telephones in Nigeria before we have our blackberries, Androids , tablets etc, ..
i won't be starting from the days of Alexander graham bell when he created the telephone but
I am going to start from a point where

telephones have a more defining
structure..from the 1930s
when Nigeria started rocking telephones

1. The era of the desk set
Do you still remember seeing this phone
gathering dust on your grandfather's shelf or you saw it in a museum?, this is actually a DESK SET telephone rocked in the 1930s to the
1950s You would agree with me that those who rocked this phone are either old or dead,those days, you have to be rich before you can have one of this piece in your house, but after some time when newer editions came
out, it became cheap and free for all,now this telephones are now antiques and you are lucky if you have this piece of art in your house.

2. The touch tone telephones

Without wasting time I move to the 1960s where have the TOUCH TONE telephones, also

known as Land line phones now I am sure we are all familiar with these telephones, we could

still see it lying around somewhere in the house and some people still use it today, you can see

it being used in governmental agencies and private parastatals,this phone made a turning point in phones manufacturing industry,

because every phone made after it has buttons .now let's move to the next one

3. The giant antenna phones

Hurray! What a huge turn in the phone

manufacturing industry, now we can now take our phones from one place to another, we can

place a call wherever we are, this is as a result of the advent of the big giant phones with pretty long antennas that looks like a walkie

talkie, but this freedom and development came

with a price, the phone weighs 'a ton' it was too heavy for the hand to hold always, so people suffered from hand pains and aches, till

today this is a major disavantage of the phone .

4. Freed from handache phones
Due to the complaints of people all over the world on the weight of the giant phones, phone manufacturers reduced the weight to make it more comfortable for users and it was successful, not only can we take our phones around, we don't have to worry about using painkiller pills anymore, but as the size reduced,
so do the antennas, till there were no more antennas.

5. Bye bye to antennas
Now do you notice any difference ? yes, there are no more antennas on the phones, the phone manufacturers had found a way to make
the phone function well without the use of the antennas. the popular Nokia 3310 featured well in this era and was the first of its kind to have no antennas.

6 Now we can design our phones
.
before this era, manufactured phones had undergone a lot of development, phones can now carry out many functions like internet,
converter , radio etc and can now play different games .there were now many manufacturers competing with each other in the industry e.g
Nokia, Motorola, Sony erricson, etc
phone makers decided to explore various aspects of designing and reconstructing to attract consumers and have a upper hand in
the market so they started making sliding phones , open and close phones etc mind you these type of phones are still are in vogue today.

7. The era of smartphones

Blackberry

Blackberry is a notable mention in the league of

smartphones , these phones can do a whole

lotta thing than the normal phones, they can

carry out some functions, that can only be done

on a computer .blackberry are still making

good phones today.
