Announcer this is the cbs overnight news. Tomorrow marks the tenth anniversary of one of the biggest technological advances of our age. The release of the first iphone. Anthony mason looks back on the gadget that changed the way we work and play. Reporter this nuthursday wi mark ten years since apple released the first iphone. Its got everything you need wrapped up in one. Reporter the device changed the way we use the internet, shop, learn, take pictures, and communicate with each other. In short with more than a billion iphones sold its become part of our culture. What are you doing . Just found out about things called apps. All i do now. Apple cofounder steve jobs first showed off the iphone, nearly six months before its release. What we are going to do its get rid of all of the buttons and just make a giant screen. A giant screen. At the time it entered a crowded smartphone market. Apples competitors were skeptical. 500. Fully subsidized with a plan. I said that its the most expensive phone in the world and doesnt appeal to business customers because it doesnt have a keyboard. Not everybody was sure a touch screen on iphone could be a business tool. And it took some time. But that was overcome tremendously, obviously to the point where every device has a touch screen. The iphone popularity led to the ipad. And later, the apple watch. Freedom reporter all of which fueled apples explosive growth to become the most valuable company in the world. Investors reap the benefits. As apple shares trading at 17. 43, the day the first iphone was sold, are now worth nearly ten times that. The iphone has generated some controversy. Apple has been criticized for working conditions in chinese plants where the phones are assembled. And following the 2015 terror attack in san bernardino, california, apple ceo tim cook and then fbi director james comey had a public showdown over apples refusal to unlock the gunmans iphone. This is iphone 7. Ten years on the iphone is in its 7th generation. With an 8th soon to come. Your fingerprints and even your heartbeat. But despite being on the cutting edge of technology, a decade from now, the iphone may be a thing of the past. Ten years is a very long time in tech. So i think in some ways you always have something on you. I do feel like the idea of always looking at a screen in your pocket might change. For decades now, people who live in california have been warned that the big one could strike at any moment. Scientists still dont know how to predict a major earthquake. An Early Warning shake alert system could help. Carter evans has a look. Reporter state of the art earthquake simulator, we know when the shaking is going to start. What if you got a warning before the real thing. But that does actually exist. Called shake alert. Set to roll out next year. But now, budget cults could put all of that in jeopardy. In an earthquake zone, every second counts. Early Warning Systems are already operational in mexico and japan. Prior to the massive 9. 0 quake in 2011. People in tokyo got a quake warning of more than 60 seconds. Now, the los angeles rail system is literally on track with its own Early Warning program. All train operators are to stop your train at the next station and hold. Reporter when an alert sounds during the simulation at rail operation center, supervisors immediately bring all 3 trains in the system to a stop and then take cover themselves. In a real world scenario, this all would have happened before the shaking began. Founder of earl warning labs, one of just a few companies approved by the u. S. Government to send out advanced earthquake alerts. Today they got a 30second warning. That doesnt seem look much time. Doesnt. Doesnt right. But when it takes, 12 second to stop a commuter train, or, about 10 second to take elevator to the closest floor or three second underneath the desk. Save a lot of lives. During an earthquake, seismic waves, radiate from epicenter like waves on the pond. Currently more than 700 sensors most of them in southern california, detect those waves. Passing along data that can be used to predict when shaking will start in nearby cities. We now have 40 second before the shaking is expected to come in here to pasadena. This seismologist helped develop the Early Warning system for the u. S. Geological survey. It still needs nearly 1,000 more seismic sensors across the west. But that plan its now in jeopardy. The if the president s budget is passed by congress, the program will be stopped because this is one of the things being eliminated. Jones and others hope it doesnt take a disaster to convince lawmakers to keep the program alive. Japan started their program after 5,000 people died in kobe. Mexico started their program after 10,000 people died in mexico city. We are frying to trying to be t country to do it without killing the people first. In a state of the art earthquake simulator, if the budget is cut. Large parts of california, oregon, washington where sensors need to be installed will not get an Early Warning. The ultimate goal its to get that alert, out to everyones cell phone before the quake starts. Carter evans, cbs news, los angeles. The cbs overnight news will be right back. Ok, lets try this. It says you apply the blue one to me. Here . No. Have a little fun together, or a lot. Ky yours and mine. Two sensations that work together, so you can play together. Two kids barfed in class today.

Seth doane paid a visit to morano. Reporter the furnaces glow orange and belch heat. And at around 3,000 degrees, something almost magical takes place. A sand mixture melts and becomes glass. The molten concoction can then like candy be squeezed, pulled or shaped. It is a craft they have been perfecting on this italian island for generations. How unique is morano, this island of glass makers . Morano its the mecca of glass. In the glass mecca no mistaking the dominant industry. Adriano borango owns a studio. Somebody, about the secret of morano. There are no secrets anymore. Glass, a chemical compound. From the point of the view of the material. There its nothing special in morano. What is special is still the ability of the craftman . That ability is also on display at nearby furnace of the great glassmaker. Here, few words are said. The glass speaks and how it moves and hardens. It is a silent symphony. In fact, the lead glassblower its called maestro. The finished product command a high price. This piece retails for more than 1,000. Your father was a master. Oh, yes. It was the master of the masters. Upstairs from the workshop, gino seguso showed us late fathers work. This was in a museum in vienna . Yes. So many of the pieces have been in museums. Morano has the set the trend for centuries. And the saguso family had practice. Your family has been at it for how long . 650. Yes, 650 years. Thats 25 generations. How did morano become this island of glass . Morano was an industrial settlement, he explaned. The city of venice was mostly made from wood and venetian glass factories regularly caught fire. So, by order of the doge, ruler of the the time, glass makers were moved off to island of morano in 1291. Venices lagoon functions as a mote keeping morano a fire safe distance from the ancient city. Putting so many glass makers on such a small, less than a mile wide island, sparked competition. And created in david landows eyes, something exquiz site. Can be different. Stupendous, marvelous, boring, nothing. Vulgar. Exciting. Extraordinary. Reporter fair to say, landeau, successful entrepreneur, fell in love with glass. You know i have about 2,500. 2,500 pieces of glass . Yes. In your collection . Madness. Objects of his infatuation are on display in venice. Which landeau cocreated. Part museum. Part institute. And show cases the richness of morano. The creations of italians and american ken scott. You can see a touch of something that makes it special. Landeau notes this art form is struggling to day due to cheap knockoffs from china. And fewer young people learning the craft. Glass has been made in venice for 1,000 years . Does it have another 1,000 still to go . Only. I hope more. Only a question of creativity. That its what we will always have in morano, creativity, challenge to do new things. Challenge to continue to have jobs. This place has a different feeling from some of the others here in morano. He shuns the world of Old School Chandeliers and glass ware, preferring to work with contemporary artists. He wanted to show us this. I am very proud of this. This is my little dream in the drawer. You see . It is not yet open. But he has transformed an old workshop into what will be a museum of contemporary art in glass. Showcasing the avantgarde. This chandelier is made from broken champagne bottles. The traditionalist could stay what you are doing here, contemporary art, threatens the great tradition of morano glass. Well, somebody might think so. But in reality, i am not, i am trying to bring glass to another step. Glass making techniques were yuns a state secret in venice. And while today, the process may be common knowledge, the craftsmanship and know how of the place, celtics mor have . No, an island apart. Celtics morano an island apart. In new york city, the local police are affectionately known as new yorks finest. They can some times be intimidating. Well there is a movement afoot to change that. It starts with the new squad car. Kris van cleave took a ride. When we talk about police cars, these turn heads when their lights and sirens are on. Lets show you one that its getting a flood of attention and it doesnt have a siren. It is a big reaction for something thats anything but. This isnt the nypd cruiser you were expecting. But the nations biggest city is okay with that. So, is officer odonnie acevedo. Driving the smallest patrol car . Yes, yes i am. Probably the smallest. Most compact. But a good ride. A ride he uses to patrol new yorks central park. Where do you put the bad guy .

Jock wike him with. Make them laugh. Come see the car. Look inside. Not as the bad as you think i tell them. Unlike the threewheel scooter it is replacing, the smart car comes with air conditioning, and airbags, and also costs 6,000 less. When you went to the command staff and said, i want to add smart cars, what do they say . They said no. Hahaha. They said the deputy commissioner, Robert Martinez didnt see wimpy. He spent years. I call it friendly. Neighborhood friendly. It is disarming. Kissable, huggable. Reporter the cuddly cruiser is proving to be a hit. The public cant seem to get enough. What do you think of the car .
