  • The Cell Phone






    In this day and age, when we depend on our cell phones for

    everything - from communicating to taking photos to even COMMUNICATE/TAKE

    playing games - it is hard to imagine life without one. Yet, PLAY/IMAGINE

    it was only 40 years ago on April 3rd, 1973, that Motorola Vice

    President Martin Cooper, stepped onto a New York City sidewalk STEP

    and made the first known cell phone call in history. MAKE/KNOW

    What's even more amazing is that it took another ten years AMAZE/TAKE

    for the company to introduce the first commercial cell phone INTRODUCE

    to the market. As you may have guessed the DynaTAC 8000X was GUESS

    nothing like the cool phones that are available today. Nicknamed

    ' The Brick', it was about a foot tall, weighed 2.5 pounds and WEIGH

    cost 3, 995 USD. Also, it could be used for only about 35 COST/USE

    minutes after which, it had to be charged for 10 hours! CHARGE

    And that was a good thing too because each voice call cost 40 cents COST

    a minute at peak hours and 24 cents a minute at off-peak hours!

    Interesting Research

    While you may believe that the flavor of ice cream you order

    is a random (случайный) decision, Dr. Alan Hirsh, the founder of FOUND

    Chicago-based Smell & Taste Treatment and Research TREAT

    Foundation thinks differently. He believes that it reveals some FOUND

    interesting insights into the person's character. INTEREST

    Always the plain Vanilla fan? Then you must be impulsive IMPULSE

    and an idealist. For those who prefer the brighter, IDEAL

    sunnier looking Rainbow Sherbet, there is mixed news. The good

    news is that you are very analytic and decisive. The bad? DECIDE

    You are a pessimist!

    Want to be perceived as a competitive, ambitious like AMBITION

    Steve Jobs? Then you may want to pick Chocolate Chip

    Cookie Dough! Like just plain Chocolate? Then you must be

    lively, dramatic and the life of every party! DRAMA

    Very Berry Strawberry eaters are tolerant, devoted and EAT/TOLERATE

    generally introverts, while Rocky Road lovers tend to be aggressive, LOVE /AGRESSION

    but also, engaging and good listeners. LISTEN

    Keep away from those who love Mint Chocolate Chip

    - they tend to be argumentative. People that like to order exotic ARGUMENT

    flavors like Jamoca and Pralines 'n Cream seem to have

    equally interesting personality/personal traits. Those who like Jamoca PERSON

    are scrupulous, conscientious, they are moral perfectionists. CONSCIENSE /PERFECT

    Praline lovers are loving, supportive and rather shy! LOVE/SUPPORT
