1990-Present Day: Full Control

We have attained the not-so elusive point of no return. The 90s and later are the years of extremely fast progress in the technological field. Phones are either cellular or mobile. Very little corded phones exist as people see it as cumbersome. The cellular phones is what most people abide to and so the most progress has been made in this field. The cellphone is now basically an electronic toy with the ability to talk to people too. There are many models as different companies fight for the ever-growing clientele.

1980: Freedom is Slavery.

Freedom is slavery. That sentence comes from the book "1984" talking about a world where countries (or territories) are ruled by conspiratorial and manipulating governments. Where the story is situated, the local government uses the image of Big Brother as an all-seeing being able to see who are true to the system and who should be eliminated from it. Our ruler, the phone, is not pictured as dramatic but it is true that it is rapidly overtaking our world, and whoever does not become an adept of it gets lost in the past. It uses any means possible to control every moment of our lives and is easily succeeding. The creation of the portable phone and the office phone brings it to new heights. But that's not all, slavery is reaching its highest level as the first cellphone finally came out. Our ignorance of its power gives it even more strength.

1970: Phones for rich people. Groovy.

Heh. I must say this is an interesting turn of events. Considering the fact that the entrepreneurs and businessmen are the ones who made it mandatory to have a phone, that rich people feel the need to pay more for a special one is quite ironic. In the 70s, where everything was "groovy" and more extravagant, rich people had to have their own vintage phones to show off even more the fact that they are rich. Here are a few examples:

1960: Bold and clean

I report today about the 1960s phones. These phones were fashioned in different colors to please the eyes of the consumers. The businessmen of this world, deciding it was not enough to simply let people with their already overpowering phones, decided it was time for more profit and thus give to the phone an even higher authority over our race. Although their goal is to make continuous profits, is there a limit when we realize that it is destroying us? When we finally reach that point of no return where we know that phones will consume our beings into feeling it is an essential part of us? Of course there's no limit, for when we feel this the businessmen then make more profit for we all feel in need of a new and better one. The cycle between businessmen, phones, technological advancements and the consumers' need to stay in the style is putting the phone on a pedestal it will never descend from.

1950: Heed the calls, make the calls.

March 23, 1952:
Dear god, As i sift through these pages, I see the phone's presence and influence growing exponentially from its meager beginnings. I watch my neighbors through the window and see them not talking to each other but instead waiting until one is done with the phone before using it himself. I live in front of a diner so I can also snoop in to see the daily events in there. Since they've installed that God-forbidden public phone in there too (as if we didn't have enough around), I see more and more people going there alone to just order a coffee and talk to the phone.. What is our world heading to?..

1940: More and more accessible..

In the 1940s, a new phone brewed from the manufacturers. It was the vertical phone that we could put to a wall for easier use while we're doing other things with our friends. In other words, even while you're preparing supper or talking with your child, the phone is there a wall away, beckoning you to heed its call when someone feels that talking over the phone is more "modern" than face-to-face. All in all, our slavers are controlling us even more than before, letting us using it at any time, during any event happening in your life at home.

1930: The evolution of mankind's master

And so it came to pass, our world was then dominated by the force of nature known as a telephone. It wrecked havoc to society and civilization, forever changing it to a colder nature. The phone was made to look nice and more comfortable for the hand as much as for the ear for a bigger consummation of the population to its intense power over all of us. Here is the next version of our leader.

1920: The threat has arrived!

We are now in the 1920s, if you have not yet realized, this is the era in which was introduced to mankind the phone we now know and still have for some. This is the phone that shall bring an end to man to man communication as we know it. People are now stuck at the orgasmic finger movements of dialing a phone number and talking without actually seeing the person. What an outrage to years spending beside one another and communicate with not only our voice but our facial expressions too! I feel that the time to go back has long past...We are at a crossroads my friends.

1910-1920: The first pay phone

10 years later, the world feels the weight of its leader fall on their wallets. The "world leaders" thought it could be smart to make money off their machinery. Little did they know that by doing this they further enhanced our servitude towards this item. This one piece of machinery look quite a bit like the present-day pay phone. It is black, companies would use this color to add professionalism but for those who see the truth in all this, it was made to represent the darkness this object of mass power brings to our world..A world led not by civilization but its inventions.

1900: A flame of dominance

We are now in the 1900s. The phone has grown to its teens and it looks like a candlestick. This metallic candlestick spark a flame of obedience in my heart. I feel compelled to fall on my knees and use this machine. Our master is rising from its first look and more and more people now feel the need to use it.

1890: The phone's distinctive look grows

We now enter the reign of the double-bong. Phones in the 1890s used a bong for the ear and a bong as a mouthpiece. Little did we know that these two primitive bongs would evolve into a simple yet dominating cellphone. These bongs bring us closer to the idea of the dreaded corded phone. Beware...

1880: Our Nemesis Grows..

In 4 years, the metallic bong turned into a nice wooden piece of machinery. This is the next design for the almighty phone. It is bigger, but in wood to add a certain style to it. We now glimpse the beginning of the era of the corded phone's reign...

The Origin of the Menace

The phone was once-upon-a-time created by a man named Alexander Graham Bell. Little did he know that he was inventing the world's most commanding ruler. As seen in this photo, it looked like a metallic bong or cannon from which this man was whistling through.

Phones for all to use

Phones. The very mention of this evocative word brings images to my young mind. This world is now ruled by the unmerciful phone. It doesn't spare anyone who are financially able to buy it. It is the true ruler of our modern age. But what was the phone before becoming our king? How did it look in its primitive form? How did its look grow from that of its youth? Watch and learn about the creation of mankind's nemesis, the phone.
