Cellphone: The Story of the World's Most Mobile Medium and How It Has Transformed Everything! By Paul Levinson - Book from Palgrave Macmillan

Chapter 1 - The "Miracle Phone"

"It's called the "Pele-Phone" - "miracle-phone" - in Israel, where more than 75 percent of the people have one. It's the namee of one of Israel's biggest cellphone companies, and more than a clever play on words. Certainly the ability to speak to anyone, anywhere, anytime, wherever you and he or she may be seems miraculous. Or at least it did ten years ago. Today the cellphone has become so ubiquitous that its wonders to behold are commonplace, an astonishing part of every day life".
