Happy birthday to the cell phone.

The modern cell phone turns 41 this week.

It was introduced in Chicago and demonstrated in a call to Alexander Graham Bell’s grandson in Berlin, Germany. The 1983 phone’s price was $3,995. In 1990, there were just over 5 million people in the country with cell phones. By 2000, that number was nearly 110 million. Now, 97% of North Americans have cell phones or smart phones.
