Development of Mobile Phones
In 1983 the world got the first ever portable mobile phone in the shape of the Motorola DynaTAC 8000X.Two years later the first mobile phone call on UK soil was made, then the Vodafone Chairman Sir Ernest Harrison. In 1989 Motorola followed up the DynaTAC with the 9800X or MicroTAC, it came with a fold down keyboard cover and set the standard for the flip phone form factor seen throughout the 90s. 
In 1991 to 1994 Dawn of Consumer Handsets GSM first launched in Europe 1991 with the Orbitel TPU 900 first to market, but it wasn’t until 1992 that mobiles were no longer restricted to business use. Mass production paved the way to cost-effective consumer handsets with digital displays. Nokia was one of the first to take advantage of this transition, with the Nokia 1011 arriving that year.

In the year 1995 to 1998 there is comes the Splash of Colour. Although it only offered four colours, the Siemens S10 brought mobile phone displays to life for the first time in 1997. The same year Hagenuk launched the GlobalHandy , the first device without an external aerial.
From the year 1999 to 2002 begun the growth of the feature phone. In the year 1999 saw Nokia unveil the 7110 which was the first device to take advantage of WAP (a means of accessing information over a mobile wireless network). 
In the year 2003 – 2006 the mobile data revolution, the implementation of 3G took download speeds up to 2MBs in March 2003 with “3” the first to offer the service in the UK. RIM brought mobile email to the masses with its range popular BlackBerry devices like the 8100 Pearl. 
2007 – 2010 the revolution of technology getting smarter swiping and scrolling replaced the traditional button method of input.
2011- 2014 technology become a life companion, Smartphones became increasingly central to modern life, offering much more than just communication features. And voice recognition became common place first with Google.
2015 - 2018 the global adoption of 4G vastly improves video streaming and video calling capabilities.
In the present day EE launches the UK's first 5G service in 6 cities throughout last May 2019. The fifth-generation network promises vastly superior data speeds and reliability, boosting ultra-high-resolution video streaming and mobile gaming.
The popularity of wireless communication and mobile technologies has offered an opportunity to achieve such an objective (Lan an Huang, 2012; Chen et al., 2012). In this new learning environment, students are able to access digital resources and interact with learning systems via handheld devices and wireless networks when they are situated in real-world contexts (Wu et al., 2012a; Yin et al., 2013). Such a learning scenario has been called mobile learning, which refers to “learning that happens without being limited at a fixed location” or “learning that takes advantage of mobile technologies” (Sharples, 2000; Sharples et al., 2009; Sharples et al., 2002). Technology adoption models specify a pathway of technology acceptance from external variables to beliefs, intentions, adoption and actual usage. Mobile phone adoption has been studied from a variety of perspectives, including sociology, computer-supported cooperative work and human-computer interaction.
