Portable Phones - Walk and Talk! Have you ever ____ a friend and heard this: 'Sorry, ____. Can you call back later?' Have you ever been in a dirty phone box on a cold night and found the phone ____? Have you ever thought how wonderful it would be if you could talk to your friends any time you wanted to? ____, then read on... Ever since Bell patented the telephone in 1876, we've been living in the age of ____ ____. But there has always been a ____ - you need to find a phone. And that isn't always easy. OK, we've had car phones since the 1950s. But the first car phones were ____. The machinery filled the ____ of the car! More than a ____ phone, it was a mobile phone box! One of the first users was a doctor in Sweden. Unfortunately, the phone needed so much power that he could only make two calls before the battery went dead. The first to his ____, and the second to the garage to get someone to come and fix his flat battery. By the mid-1960s phones were small enough to fit into the front of a car, but ____, they were still too heavy for people to ____. They were also extremely ____. So, it was no surprise that they didn't become popular. And then Mr Cooper made a call. On 3 April, 1973, while walking along a street in New York, Motorola ____ Martin Cooper ____ his ____ phone, dialled a number and made a call to a ____ phone company. I don't know what he said - perhaps, 'Nobody has ever done this ____!' - but I bet he felt pretty happy when he ____. He knew that his company was ____ ____ C Now just over ten years later - the DynaTAC 8000X ____ ____ phone has ____ in the shops, and this week I've been testing it. I must say I'm ____. The first thing you ____ is how small and ____ it is. It ____ a little less than a bag of sugar and is about the same size as a brick- about twenty centimetres long. It looks really smart, too. And you can talk for almost half an hour without recharging the battery! You can also ____ the volume in case the phone ____ when you're in a meeting. The ____? The price. It ____ almost $3,000! But don't worry. The price will ____, and soon ____ will have one. And while I have my ____ out, here are some more ____ about how we will ____ in the future ____, I think people will forget how to write ____ all communications will be ____. And one day before too long we will have phones with 3D video screens which allow you to see your friends and watch TV! More good news: phone calls will be free - they'll be paid for by ____! And finally, I believe that ____ humans in the future will have phones in their brains! With a speaker in an ear and a microphone in a tooth we will be able to dial numbers just by saying them. But until then, you could do worse than buy yourself a Motorola DynaTAC. Become mobile and say goodbye to those cold calls in dirty phone boxes.
