The invention of the telephone back in 1876 is what led to the global obsession we now have with our phones. This week I take you on a journey from the telephones‘ first inception to the arrival of mobile phones, their evolution and the part they have played in British Youth culture in different eras and also the impact of the mobile internet, instant messaging and the arrival of the iPhone.
