14、n to our next big moneymaker. The first telephone that could be carried around was invented in 1908. In the 1954 film, Sabrina, a character played by actor Humphrey Bogart made a call from the back of his car! But it was in 1973 that the modern mobile phone was invented by an American, Martin Cooper

15、, and in the 1980s “mobiles” started to become popular. Many countries, including the UK, now have more mobile phones than people. Next is the iPod. Its small and light. It plays and stores music.

So, with a friend who worked in a printing company, Mr. Darrow made 500 copies of the game and started selling them under the name “Monopoly”.

18、es and hotels. It soon became popular and Parker Brothers agreed to produce it. Today the owners say theyve sold over 200 million Monopoly sets and 750 million people have played it.

21、 10 years ago when Larry and Sergey were both brilliant computer science students. The two met on a day out from Sergeys university.
