I laughed at the idea, thinking how could we build a camera onto a phone? At that time, there wasn&#8217;t even colored display.<\/p>\n<p>However, the camera phone becomes a reality and I am sure almost everyone is holding one now.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>BTW, it is a true story and it incorporates the make.believe essence into it.
