More Information: - Key event in lines history
‘Modernism was a cultural movement in the first part of the 20th century. It occurred in art, literature, music, architecture and drama.
- Significant event in phone history
Modernism is marked by a rejection of tradition, and an interest in new ways of doing old things. Also, there was a belief that the application of science and technology could change the world for the better. The changes began in the late 19th century and carried on until about 1950. The details differ greatly, and the term covers some movements which are somewhat contradictory.’ ‘At the same time, the 1920s were known as the “Jazz Age”, and the public showed considerable enthusiasm for cars, air travel, the telephone and other technological advances.’

The forces of modernity highly influenced the development and production of the telephone in the late 19th century onwards. Access to mass production, in conjunction with a surge of new technology, meant that the telephone quickly became a common household item. The want and need for the telephone quickly grew amongst the general public and now it has become very rare for a person to not own their own personal phone. Many different factors have effected the development of the mobile phone but only a few key technological advancements have been the main driving force behind its progression. These factors are: the camera, touchscreen technology, digital gaming, the internet, social networking, connectivity and Apple Computers. Without these, the phone would still be today as it was when it was first created; simply a means of communication.
