Generic research: the impact of phones

The first ever model of the iPhone was released in 2007, after years of Blackberry and Windows phones were dominating the phone market. The iPhone 3 and its successors led Steve Jobs, its creator, to believe that "the phone was not just a communication tool but a way of life".
This article explains how the iPhone changed the way people live. Reasons such as 'it's a fashion statement' and 'Internet anytime anywhere' explain to readers why the iPhone was such a success and how it has changed modern life to the way it is today.

However, it hasn't been just the iPhone that's been revolutionary since the invention of phones. This article lists the most revolutionary phones in the last few decades.
They listed the Nokia 3120, a must have phone back then but now is hard to find; the Blackberry 7230, a new gadget for offices workers, but is now out of production; finally the Samsung galaxy, which, like the iPhone, is continually being reproduced into bigger and better to keep up with the technology of modern day. This Nokia 3210 was only released in 1999; this shows in such a short amount of time how much phones have evolved. 20 years ago phones didn't have touchscreens, and now phones will unlock by recognising a person's face.
This information will help form my facts and figures for my documentary, but also widened my knowledge on what teenagers 40 years ago did not have access to.
