Post It!
For many of us in college or the busy office life, this tiny little stack of sticky papers are almost a must-have in our stationery set.
Post-its are become such an essential for all of us and what we might not know is that this tiny thing was created back in the 70's. The idea first came about when scientist and inventor, Arthur Fry was looking for a bookmark for his church hymnal that would not fall out or damage the hymnal. He then noticed that a colleague of his at 3M, Dr.Spencer Silver had developed an adhesive back in the 60's that was strong enough to stick something without damaging the area of the surface and also could be repositioned. He took some of the Silver's adhesive and put it alongside a piece of paper and his problem was solved!
Arthur then noticed that his 'bookmark' had other functions when he used it in the office and colleagues would ask for them all the time. The 'bookmark' helped when it came to organisation and also with communication. 3M Corporation then came up with the name 'Post It Note' for Arthur's bookmarks and began production in the late 70's for commercial use.
From a solution for a bookmark to an office and home essential. Post It Notes has definitely coloured the way we work in the most convenience of ways.
Technology : Mobile Phones Back Then and Now
If you were to walk up to someone back in the 60's and told them that 50 years from then, we would be able to use our mobile phones without having the use of a keypad or that it would be able to fit into our pockets, they would probably ask you to go fly kites. The evolution of the mobile phones, if you were to sit back and analyse, is amazing.
The sole purpose of a mobile phone is to communicate or to keep in contact with someone that happens to be at a distance where you cannot talk to them face to face. Making calls and writing text are some of the very basic 'features' that a mobile phone should have but that is far from what is offered to us today by our mobile phones.
We're going to take a look into how the mobile phone has become one of the essential things needed by someone living the modern world and how it has evolved over the years :
The first cellphone ever was designed by Martin Cooper for the brand Motorola. The whole thing weighed 2.5 pounds and has a battery life of 20 minutes.
In 1983, the 'Motorola DynaTac 8000X' was made famous by Gordon Gecko in the 'Wall Street'. This cellphone was nicknamed the 'Brick' for it's square like build and also because of it's size.
The 'Nokia Mobira Talkman' was definitely not purposed for convenience. This cellphone was built in 1984 and although it was huge, it's battery life did not last any longer than the 'Brick'.
The first flip phone was designed in the mid 90's. The 'Motorola StarTAc' had a reasonable size and had become very popular in the 90's. This was the beginning of the production of reasonable sized phones.
After the flip came the slide. The 'banana phone' also known as The Nokia 8110 was the first sliding phone created. This was made shortly after the flip phone, 1996.
Texting began with our next phone. Besides that, all of us can remember the endless games of ' Snake' that this cell introduced. The Nokia 5110 was a big hit after it came out in the year 1998.
Slowly catching up to speed came the 'Motorola Razr'. Born in 2004, this phone was best known for its ultra-thin body and it's long lasting battery.
Shortly after that came the game changer, the 'iPhone'. Introduces by the one and only, Steve Jobs, this mobile opened up a new door in the mobile phone industry and since then it has never been the same.
