People of the digital era take the latest smartphone technology for granted. They rarely think that an iPhone in their pocket is the crown of the world’s engineering thought that led the human race from the primitive cave life to the digital age.
But in fact an iPhone, however small it might be, is a concentration of centuries of scientific and engineering work. Mathematicians, chemists, inventors along with all kinds of engineers and scientists have dedicated their entire lives just to make another small step towards the technology level where creation of the today’s so popular smartphone would be possible.
People of different calibers and talents, from unknown students to scientific legends, from all over the world, made their small and big contributions to the smartphone idea. Even a few wars had to break out to boost technologies that would eventually bring us to the iPhone.
