...Cellular Systems Who doesn’t own a cell phone these days? Today it is the norm to own a cell phone. The growth and history of cell phones has seen many changes since the first cell phones were introduced to the public. Hard to believe so much has changed since the first cell phone was deployed commercially. Since then there have been many new cell phone or mobile phone systems introduced, and many improvements have been made in this form of radio communications technology. The mobile phones themselves as well as the associated equipment including base stations and the other network equipment and cellular technology has become much cheaper and far smaller. One of the major changes is the level of market penetration that has been achieved. Cellular technology has enabled many people to have phones where it would not otherwise be possible. In many countries there are more mobile phone accounts than people, i.e. many people have more than one account, possibly one for private use and one for work. In this way cellular technology has enabled market penetration to become more than 100%. With the development of cellular technology, mobile phones now have many more facilities and capabilities than the first ones to be sold. Mobile phone history will show a steady increase in the capabilities of these phones. The history of the mobile phone has taken place over a comparatively short time, but cellular technology has been seen to develop at a tremendous rate. As a form...

Developing countries, in particular, are benefiting from a wireless revolution that is connecting people in far-flung towns and villages — many for the first time. | | How many cell phones are there in the world today? Around the world, there are more than 2.4 billion cell phone users — and more than 1,000 new customers are added every minute (as of July 2006). (Washington Post) | Text messaging generated $49.4 billion in revenues for cell phone companies worldwide in 2005 — and is expected to yield $76.5 billion by 2010. (Pyramid Research) | | | What is the outlook? By the end of 2007, there are projected to be three billion mobile phone subscribers. (Nokia) What is remarkable about the mobile phone phenomenon? With 59% of users in developing countries, cell phones are the first telecommunications technology in history to have more users there than in the developed world. (Washington Post) What do people in the developing world stand to gain economically? An extra ten mobile phones per 100 people in a typical developing country leads to an additional 0.44 percentage points of growth in GDP per person.

...PROS OF CELL PHONE IN MODERN SOCIETY | December 10 2011 | | BILL HASBUNE | PROF. ARTHUR CACACE PROS OF CELL PHONES IN MODERN SOCIETY INTRODUCTION: The concept of the cellular phone has been around since 1947; however the technology to do so did not exist until 1973. According to (wikipedia.com) “In December 1947, Douglas H. Ring and W. Rae Young, Bell Labs engineers, proposed hexagonal cells for mobile phones in vehicles. Philip T. Porter, also of Bell Labs, proposed that the cell towers be at the corners of the hexagons rather than the centers and have directional antennas that would transmit/receive in three directions into three adjacent hexagon cells on three different frequencies. At this stage, the technology to implement these ideas did not exist, nor had the frequencies been allocated. Several years would pass before Richard H. Frenkiel and Joel S. Engel of Bell Labs developed the electronics to achieve this in the 1960s” .It was not until in 1973 On April 3, Martin Cooper, a Motorola researcher and executive, made the first analogue mobile phone call using a heavy prototype model. He called Dr. Joel S. Engel of Bell Labs “There was a long race between Motorola and Bell Labs to produce the first portable mobile phone. Cooper is the first inventor named on "Radio telephone system" filed on October 17, 1973 with the US Patent Office and later issued as US Patent 3,906,166. John F. Mitchell, Motorola's chief of portable communication products (and Cooper's...

Outline: 1. Description of the Technology a. Mobile and cellular communication is the use of cellular phones, tablets, and computers while being in a place other than home or work. b. Originally designed for making mobile telephone calls and was later reinvented for other forms of communications. c. Specifically used for social media updating, texting, and video chats. 2. History of the Technology a. 1946, the first car phone was used. The AT&T website exclaimed, “A driver in St. Louis, Mo., pulled out a handset from under his car's dashboard, placed a phone call and made history. It was the first mobile telephone call.” b. 1983, AT&T was able to divide wireless communication into a sequence of cells which made them capable of automatically switching callers as the moved allowing each cell to be reused. This advancement led to the development of cellular phones. c. 1989, the Motorola MicroTAC 9800X was the first truly portable phone. Before now the majority of cellular phones were car phones because of their size and inability to fit into a jacket pocket. d. 1992, Motorola developed the first hand-size digital mobile phone. e. 1996, the first “smart” phone was released. f. 2002, the first picture phone was brought to the market. g. 2007, the first ever...

...Examine Human Computer Interaction Theories and Principles IT302 |Human Computer Interaction Interaction Framework Four main parts of the Execution/Evaluation Action Cycle framework A framework is how we think about a process. Within the context of this class this framework focuses on how we interact with computers in the scope of the process or project. Since the first business started in our earliest history stakeholders have looked for ways to improve and be more successful. Since the invention of computers people have been looking at ways to have these devices help improve this process. The Execution/Evaluation Action Cycle (EEAC) was presented by Donald Norman in 1988. His concepts explored the nature of how actions can be structured into four basic parts (Heim, 2007, p. 42): Example of how the chosen framework might actually work When starting any large scale project a team of stakeholders typically start off with an end goal. With tools such as Microsoft Project and others each stage of the frame work can be mapped out and help keep the project on task. How it fits each part of the framework One important point is that this framework is a cyclical process that in truth does not have an end point until the stakeholders have reached a point where they are satisfied with the results and can be revisited at a later point. Goal During the goal stage stakeholders can all make sure they are on the right page. Execution When the project reaches the...

...What do cell phones, Twitter, and Facebook have in common? They are all emerging forms of communication. Communication is most commonly defined as “a process by which information is exchanged between individuals”. This exchange of information takes place constantly throughout the day for everyone, whether it is a lawyer talking business with his partner over the phone or a college student writing on Facebook in the back of his or her classroom. These new forms of communication, specifically the emergence of the cell phone and the more recent boom in social networking, have made the way we communicate with one another much different than how our parents used to communicate with one another. The critical forms of communication I will be focusing on are cell phones and social networking. An analysis of this emergence in communication technology reveals that while communication in our generation is much different and more advanced than it was in our parents’ generation, it is a positive change overall. The first form of communication I will be analyzing is the telephone. I will give a short history of this device. The telephone was invented by Alexander Graham Bell in 1876 using a bar magnet, a coil of fine wire, and a thin metal disk. Over time, this device was perfected and features such as the telephone dial were invented. This allowed each phone to be assigned a unique telephone number, or address. Nowadays, the dial has been replaced by a tone telephone, making phones much more...

You might be bewildered by the title of my paper. What type of ghost and what machine? The addiction that will be discussed is cell phone addiction, so the machine is the cell phone and the ghost is the addiction. Cell phone addiction is one of the most hidden addictions of all time. Not all addictions are related to narcotics, such as opium and other drugs, which dull a person’s senses. An addiction is actually a persistent disease, characterized by the weakened control over the use of a psychoactive substance or behavior. Surprisingly, even though cell phone addiction is mainly a teenage problem...

...EVOLUTION OF THE CELL PHONE ELLIS BYRD ITT TECHNICAL INSTITUTE The history of the Cell Phone started about 40 years ago as a Mobil Phone and one of the first Company to invent the Mobil phone was Motorola and their phone was called the Danatac 8000X It was a very large phone and most of them were put into limousines and only a few people could afford Them. As we progress through the 1980’s the Mobil phones started to get smaller but they were still Bulky and people could carry the phones in bags and they had a longer battery life so they could walk and talk for a longer time and these phones became popular with the business crowd. As technology advanced the cell phone companies developed different features that could link the users to a wide variety of options such as accessing you e-mail account using your phone as a fax machine, address book and you could call somebody half way around the world and talk to them as if they were standing next to you. In the past ten years the cell phone companies have developed different versions of the smart phone and it seems that every couple...
