In 1995, Nokia company launched its first phone ‘Nokia-2110’. The first internet call in India was made on July 31, 1995 by the then Chief Minister of West Bengal Shri JyotiBasu from Kolkata to the then Union Telecom Minister Shri Sukhram. The call was connected from Reuters Building in Calcutta to Sanchar Bhawan in Delhi. Later, with the availability of Blackberry and later Apple and Android smartphones in the early 2000s, people shifted from basic handsets to smartphones. Since the year 2010, a mini computer has appeared in the pocket of consumers. In the year 2012, Airtel was the first company to offer 4G network services in India. In the year 1998, there were only 8 lakh mobile phone customers in India, the number has increased to over 120 crores, the reason being that in the year 2016, Jio company’s mobile and SIM card became easily available in the market. Jio company launched low cost mobile calls and fast data services and now in the year 2022 Airtel company has launched 5G service. In all these developments, the need for smart phones increased a lot. Basic human needs like food, clothing, shelter, health, education have all come down to the smartphone in the form of technology.
