In 2007, when Steve Jobs introduced the iPhone, he said "Every once in a while a revolutionary product comes along that changes everything" , but he was only partially right. Not that the world hasn't changed since the first iPhone, but it it was more of an evolutionary product, than a revolutionary one. Building on the technology of the past, in human factors, computer science and communications infrastructure, the iPhone was only the latest convergence in a long line of diverse fields of research and development. This video, from the the Origins project at Ohio State University, explores 170 years of communications infrastructure that enabled the iPhone.
