Telephones help people speak to one another when they are apart. For more
than a hundred years, nearly every telephone was a landline. A landline
telephone is one that needs to be connected by a wire to a network of other
telephones. Because of the wires, people could not take those telephones with
them when they left their homes or offices.

What if you had to make a call while you were away from home? You had to
find a pay phone. Pay phones are landlines found in public places. Many pay
phones are on the street. You can make a call from inside a glass or metal
space called a phone booth. Once you are inside the booth, you put coins into a
slot in the phone to make a call.
Telephones have seen a lot of progress. Today, many people carry cell
phones. Cell phones do not need to be connected with wires. They can be
used almost anywhere and can fit in an adult’s hand.

Many cell phones sold today are smartphones. A smartphone is a cell phone
that has lots of computer-style features. For example, people use smartphones
to check e-mail and go on the Internet. And all that can be done using
something small enough to carry in a pocket!
