The Evolution of Cell Phones: 1995-Present Throughout the twentieth-century, different inventions and predictions were made to determine what the future would be like. For example, hover cars and advanced spacecraft were some of the most iconic pieces of predicted technology. Although hover cars still have yet to be refined some predictions of the twentieth-century are seen being used today, such as small portable communicators. Small portable communicators have enhanced the way people communicate with one another and are more commonly known as the cell phone. In 1973, a man named Martin Cooper and his team at Motorola built and demonstrated the first cell phone (CBS 1). Little did they realize the huge impact that cell phones would soon make in the near future. Cell phones have evolved drastically and have become an essential and indispensable aspect of contemporary life. Since 1995, mobile phones have transformed into complex cellular devices to suit people’s busy lifestyles, while still staying true to its original aspect, communication. The look of cell phones in 1995 differs immensely compared to the slim and sleek design we are used to. Phones of this era coincide with cordless house phones that people today are more recognizable with. Although they were considered to be mobile phones they were very bulky in size. The first few generations of mobile phones consisted of antennas to maintain a proper signal. Nowadays having an antenna attached to the top of the phone

In the modern-day world, there are about 6.8 billion cell phone subscriptions. Mobile telephones have really changed the way we do things in our daily life. Before cell phones were invented individuals were more interactive with each other. In the late 1900’s, Martin Cooper invented the first mobile telephone. Today we have a variety of mobile phones to choose from such as Apple and Samsung. Widespread cell phone use has definitely affected the world negatively because it is a distraction, can be harmful, and addicting.
A lot of the early cell phones that were made were considered to be “car phones,” because they were so big and heavy that you wouldn't be able to have it in your pocket or purse.However a revolutionary phone came out in 1983 by the name of the Motorola DynaTAC 8000x was available to the public. Compared to today’s high standards, it was considered the first real mobile phone because it was small enough to carry and not very heavy. Although The phone was very expensive it became a pop culture symbol. It showed up in the movie Wall Street and in the famous show Saved by the Bell.
And then, the first commercial mobile phones made by Motorola were introduced to the market in 1983. These mobile phones used first-generation (1G) networks. Next, the development of mobile phones had a rapid growth. In the meantime, the weight of mobile phones gradually decreased from about 800 grams to less than 160 grams during around 20 years.
Cell phones have changed since I was young. Cell phones have changed in numerous ways. One way that cell phones have changed is that they used to be a big, black, and heavy. They used to have a lot of wires. Now, cell phones have been invented wireless and smaller. Another way that cell phones have changed is that today young folks have 24-hour towers instead of operators. We had operators to come connect the wires. When the operators went home, we would have to meet people in person. A telephone should be used wisely and gave the most highest respect.
Imagine a world without iPhones, what would it be like? Over the past seven years, the iPhone has gone through many transformations becoming one of the most popular cell phones in the United States and the world. The iPhone has changed the smart phone market. Nearly 25% of people in the U.S. have an iPhone. The iPhone has changed a lot over the last seven years, gaining more powerful processors, improved screens and better cameras. The iPhone has created many new industries due to its technological advancements.
About 91 percent of the US population has a mobile phone. Given that fact, more than nine out of ten people reading this essay own a mobile phone. In 2000, only about 53 percent of the US population owned a mobile phone. The use of the telephone just keeps on rising, and it is very hard to tell if it will ever stop. For many, they have never known a time without cell phones. The phone has changed over time and has revolutionized the way we live. Therefore, it is very important that everyone becomes more educated on the topic. In particular, it is important to learn about the history of the phone, inventors who have contributed to the phone, and how the phone has lead to controversies in today’s society.
Would American’s lives be the same without having telephones, light, transportation, or labor laws? That’s what Americans would be missing in life without having the Industrial Revolution occurring in history. The Industrial Revolution was a time of changes from working at home to working in factories with machines and engines. There were new inventions, upgrades in machinery, railroads, steamships, and oil booms. The lives of Americans were changed during this time period from 17th century. The Industrial Revolution shaped the U.S. into what it was today. One invention in particular was the telephone; its technological advances throughout the years have continued to explore the imagination. Since its inception, the telephone has
Nowadays we take technology like internet and cell phones for granted. They allow us to operate more efficiently and provide us with solutions to various issues. There was a time however when cell phones and the internet did not exist and technology was not as evolved. A time when fax machines were new and few in numbers due to its value and only the telephone was the central means of communication. During the 1970’s, many or close to all businesses relied on postal service for financial papers such as stocks, checks, and bonds. Back then most department stores received 85% of their accounts receivable through the mail (Chesterton, 1970). At that time, Richard Nixon was President and the congress had passed motions that would give members of congress a 41% pay raise (3). Meanwhile they only gave postal employees a mere 4% raise. This would be the ultimate reason and trigger of the largest walkout ever on the federal government in U.S history.
At that time, cell phones were to be too big to carry around and usually installed into the automobile for use. Approximately 10 years later, in 1983, Motorola came out with the DynaTAC 8000x. When it arrived in the market, it was considered to be the first cell phone small enough to carry(Ray). This began the trend of carrying our little phone device everywhere and having the world at our fingertips. This is why we take our phones with us everywhere and has lead to our societies seemly addiction to them. Since phones are a perfect pocket size we can take them anywhere. Cell phones began to become more and more popular by making appearances on television commercials, and television shows like Saved By The Bell. The advertisements encouraged this addiction and need to focus on the device to get by world. An addiction that many crave and can not go without. Cell phones began with a talking feature and slowly would graduate into other features such as voicemails(Ray). To go on and becoming our source of all things electronic. Cell phones can be used to take pictures, search the web, make calls, and even watch television. These cell phone features have replace other electronic we use to need to carry such as a camera, computer, or a even TV This easy access has lead to people becoming easily distracted to a point that harm has resulted. So think about all the things cell phones can do today, how this has changed from their first intentions, since they were
Cell phones, as we know them haven’t been around for that long. The quick progression of the item and development has enormously influenced the regular daily existence in the general public eye today. It 's implementation has been genuinely quick considering that mobile phones were inexistent a quarter century ago. The first phone was made by Alexander Graham Bell. According to an article, ' 'This brought upon a major change in communication and gave leeway to the improvement of the telephone in the days to come ' '(Bellis, 2013b).
The cell phone today can do just about anything needed, and is an outstanding improvement from when the first cell phone was invented. Major improvements such as its appearance, and its overall usefulness and capability. Though the first cell phone was an extreme breakthrough for modern technology at the time, the technological advancement today has made the cell phone not only extremely handy, but considered by most as a necessity. Only time can tell what future cell phones will be like and how we can compare them to the way we use them
Wearing your computer may not be a future fashion statement so much as a way to carry the most ubiquitous personal electronic device with us wherever we may roam. Gear lust of the wearable sort stretches back to Bat Man 's utility belt: technology you could take with you on the go. Today, we carry the modern version of a Star Trek communicator (the cell phone)-a device that is increasingly indispensable. Alongside the cell phone are a host of other handheld gadgets that would have been science fiction a few short years ago: child locators, universal remote controls (now capable of turning the AC down on hot summer days, opening the miniblinds, and controlling our increasingly-complex home entertainment systems, just to name a few standard jobs), portable CD and DVD players, and personal organizers. But where does our infatuation with portable technology come from? In the 1980 's, during the era of Reaganomics, computers became personal-and profitable. Until the first generation of the so-called 'home computers ', computers had been anything but personal. Most of them were million-dollar mammoths that took up whole floors of buildings and took an engineering degree just to find the power button. Large corporations like IBM and Xerox were the only entities outside government agencies and research facilities that could afford computers-ironic, since many of the same corporations would miss the boat when it came to initial investments in the PC market. The Internet-destined
In the twenty first century the world has advance so much by technology you can hardly recognize the world from ten years ago. Realistically it is hard to recognize technology from as much as two years ago because technology is evolving so quickly. It is hard for the most technological savvy individual to keep up with the next technological innovation that is about to hit the market because it is evolving that fast. Technology is evolving at such a rate that it is even hard form the leading manufactures of technology to gauge what is going to be the next great technological innovation to hit the market and be able to stay for any period of time with any accuracy.
First Generation(1G): First generation of mobile communication developed in 1980 's and completed in early 1990 's based on analog system.1G systems are based on AMPS(Advanced Mobile Phone Service ) technology.1G network only supports voice communication and no data service is provided by this.
