Answer 1

The sample answer...

Step-by-step explanation:

The 1990s saw major developments in the telecommunication industry. Caller ID on fixed-line phones was introduced in 1991. Though controversial at that time, Caller ID has since then become the most popular add-on feature for fixed-line phones across the world. The 1990s also saw the emergence of second-generation (2G) mobile phone systems that used digital instead of analog transmissions. The introduction of 2G resulted in a massive rise in mobile phone usage. This era also saw the advent of prepaid or pay-as-you-use mobile phones. In 1995, an Israeli telecom company called VocalTec Communications Inc. released the first VoIP application that allowed users to make calls using an internet connection.

The beginning of the twenty-first century brought new telecommunications technologies, especially wireless technologies, into the fore. In fact, a survey showed that wireless calls exceeded calls from fixed lines in the United States for the first time in 2003. The introduction of the web phone, which combined a traditional telephone with an LCD touchscreen and a retractable keyboard, helped customers to surf the Internet, check email, make phone calls, and check voice mail from a single device.

Telecommunications developments of the past few years include wireless Web to Go services, voice-activated dialing, TV via wireless phones, and phone calls and internet access on TVs.

Answer 2

The telecommunications and associated services have seen a remarkable change and progress since the 1990's, so much so that the phones as the main instrument have changed to a degree that has been a thing of sci-fi movies.

Until the 1990's, the telecommunication was using static phones and wires that were connecting them to the network, and that was it, there was no other function. Than in the 1990's, the first mobile phones were invented, and the era of wireless communication started. The mobile phones, at the start, had the same function as the static phones, but they had huge advantage that you were able to carry them around with you wherever you go. As the time passed, the mobile phones were developing more and more, and games, calculators, and multiple other basic things were included on them. Than on the scene appeared the androids and the IPhones. They were not using buttons anymore, but instead everything was on touch. Numerous applications were included, excellent hard drives and software, large memory capacity, and the phones became literary a mini computers that can be used for pretty much everything, giving no signs whatsoever that until very recently their ancestors where static and had only one function.
