technological devices for a long amount of time. Ever since the Apple company started making computers for home usage, or even televisions by Epsom Derby, people have been sitting in front of some electronic device, using it for long continuous amounts of time. People use devices like phones, laptops/computers, televions, gaming consoles, etc. everyday for long amounts of time. This is how people exploit modern day technology. Some people use their phones/ or any other tech all day long without getting
“The telephone first appeared in the late 19th century as a largely mechanical device and continued to develop throughout the 20th century based primarily on analog electronics.” This means that, the cell phone has developed during time, going from a small pocket device with an antenna and a beeper to a touchscreen mp3 player, videogame console, web searcher, camera, calculator and communication device.

continued miniaturization of computing resources, and advancements in portable battery life, portable computers grew in popularity in the 1990s.The same developments that spurred the growth of laptop computers and other portable computers allowed manufacturers to integrate computing resources into cellular phones. These smartphones run on a variety of operating systems and are rapidly becoming the dominant computing device on the market. COMPUTER SOFTWARE Introduction Computer software also known
