The Short History of Mobile Telephones
Nowadays in the age of high tech gadgets and toys, the mobile phone, or cellular phone corners the marketplace with products for every level of user.
While a patent was issued as early as 1908 for a mobile phone unit, the actual technology of cellular network calling, as we know it today wasn’t established until 1984 in Japan.
The Birth of the Car Phone
Even at this early time, mobile phones were too large to be carried easily in a pocket so most were installed in automobiles to be used as car phones until 1990.
The mobile phone has become so popular in some countries that the numbers of phones outnumber the population. Africa currently has the largest growth rate of mobile phone subscribers and India has the largest growth market, adding 6 million subscribers every month.
Mobile Phones are Everywhere!
What once began as a rare and expensive form of communication has suddenly become the worlds most common and inexpensive item kept on a person.
In the US 50 percent of children carry their own mobile phone. In many countries, mobile phones outnumber landline phones. This is due to the ease of use and the cost. Where it is more expensive to run a phone line throughout a town or city people can own mobile phones at a much more affordable rate.
The Technology of Mobile Phones
Where will the technology of Communications take us?
With the introduction of the newest gadgets every year, the experts have given us the technology to put almost everything we do into one little device. The Mobile Phone.
Once just used for simple person-to-person contact, the mobile phone has grown up a lot since its introduction in the 90’s. Even your basic cell phones offer a selection of advanced features. Where will it end?
Will our mobile phone one day run our lives?
Unlock our cars perhaps? Be used as a remote control for our television? Of course, you can place calls with your mobile phone from almost anywhere and at anytime.
There are still a few places out there where the signal antennas don’t reach, but before long, this wont matter.
The Text Messaging Cell Phone
Another feature that is more common on phones now is text messaging. This works just the same as instant messengers on our computers.
People can talk to each other via text. This makes conversing easier when one person is otherwise occupied and cannot keep an actual conversation at the time.
The Digital Camera Phone
Another feature most phones have nowadays is a digital camera. This feature has both its pros and cons.
Most people don’t carry a camera with them at all times for those moments when we wish we did have one. They have proven helpful in situations like car accidents, criminal situations, and even catching the occasional embarrassing moment on film.
But there have also been arguments in regards to privacy. People have been found using the camera phone for spying on others in places like dressing rooms and under tables.
Picturephones, Internet, Music Downloads and More with Modern Cellphones
Cell phones now offer so many more advanced options. Things such as MP3 players for downloading music, FM radios, GPS services and advanced Internet capabilities. Someday, our mobile phones may replace our notebook computers in their capabilities.
What an advancement we have made in such a short time. It makes one wonder what is next in the high tech gadget world for our mobile phone users.
