This rapid transcontinental settlement and these new urban industrial circumstances of the last half of the 19th century were accompanied by the development of a national literature of great abundance and variety New themes, new forms, new subjects, new regions, new authors, new audience all emerged in the literature of this half century As a result, at the onset of World War I, the spirit and substance of American literature had evolved remarkably, just as its center of production had shifted from Boston to New York in the late 1880s and the sources of its energy to Chicago and the Midwest No longer was it produced, at least in its popular forms, in the main by solemn, typically moralistic men from New England and the Old South; no longer were polite, well-dressed, grammatically correct, middle class young people the only center characters in its narratives; no longer were these narratives to be set in exotic places and remote times; no longer, indeed, were fiction, poetry, drama, and formal history the chief acceptable forms of literary expression; no longer, finally, was literature read primarily by young, middle class women In sum, American literature in these years fulfilled in considerable measure the condition Walt Whitman called for in 1867 in describing Leaves of Grass: it treats, he said of his own major work, each state and region as peers "and expands from them, and includes the world connection an American citizen with the citizens of all nations" At the same time, these years saw the emergence of what has been designated "the literature of argument," powerful works in sociology, philosophy, psychology, many of them impelled by the spirit of exposure and reform Just as America learned to play a role in this half century as an autonomous international political, economic, and military power, so did its literature establish itself as a producer of major work

After the invention of his cell phone, Cooper began thinking of ways to make the cell phone available to the general public After a decade, Motorola introduced the first cell phone for commercial use The early cell phone and its service were both expensive The cell phone itself cost about $ 3, 500 In 1977, AT & T constructed a cell phone system and tried it out in Chicago with over 2, 000 customers In 1981, a second cellular phone system was started in the Washington, D.C and Baltimore area It took nearly 37 years for cell phones to become available for general public use Today, there are more than sixty million cell phone customers with cell phones producing over thirty billion dollars per years
