Answer:
a. mobile phones
Explanation:
One day some engineers decided to change the course of history. Thinking of a way to make communication more efficient and easy, they had the brilliant idea of creating a system that would be capable of communicating between cordless phones. The idea was not bad, but the technology of the time did not help much.
The real history of the mobile phone began in 1973, when the first call was made from a mobile phone to a landline. It was from April 1973 that all theories proved that the cell worked perfectly, and that the cell phone network suggested in 1947 was designed correctly. This was a not very well known moment, but it certainly was a fact marked forever because it was the moment that facilitated communication for most people through the creation of the mobile phone.
During the period of the Renaissance, Italy was divided into numerous small city-states controlled by local wealthy people. There were large differences though from one city-state to another, and while the northern ones were very wealthy and had things going very smoothly, the southern ones were much less successful.
The reason why the northern Italian city-states were so wealthy was mostly the trade. These city-states had excellent large ports. They were producing multiple things that were in high demand and also very well paid for for export, and were getting lot of things they needed and desired from the other parts of the world.
These states had very well developed fleets, and they were trading with multiple Asian regions, Europe, as well as parts of Africa. They were exporting their high quality products. Very often they were buying certain things from one place, then re-sell it in other place buy much higher prices, thus getting more and more wealth over time. That wealth enabled them to get all they needed without any problem, thus making them very stable and strong small states.
