The history behind digital devices


The small and portable devices that we see all around us in our everyday life would have not been possible if it was not for some of the technological advancements that we have seen over the last century. All of these devices have roots that connect with the invention of the telephone, radio and computer. In order for something to become potable it needs to be small lightweight and easy to carry. Therefore the products that we use today are more sophisticated miniature versions of what we would have been invented in the beginning.

I was also state that the non-portable digital devices that we use to also have roots in television, radio and computing. They give the user more choice and control over the day-to-day task and can also aid the speed in which the tasks are completed.
