Communication Technology- Cell Phones Blog 1
I think a really interesting communication technology is the cell phone and how fast it is developing. In class we discussed that the first cell phones had batteries that were actually bigger than the phone itself. Now days the phone batteries are small enough to fit into the palm of your hand and they're extremely thin. This is really interesting because not only do they take up less space they are actually able to perform better than cell phone batteries from the early 70s. The development of the distance that you are able to receive reception from a cell phone is interesting also because we went from being able to only able talk a short distance to being able to make international calls. I think others should be interested in the development of the cell phone because the improvements and changes being made are happening rapidly. Almost every couple of months there is a new phone coming out with better capabilities and this allows us to expand technologically.

I remember those big cell phones with the huge antenna cause my aunt had one. Back then those were the coolest thing to have. Now the coolest thing to have is the iPhone. I miss the good old days when a cell phone use to be a cell phone. Little by little the cell phone started with cameras, then internet access and now you can use it for anything. I like the games you can play on them because when you are stuck somewhere (like a doctor’s office) you can play games while you wait. After the iPhone who knows what the next “must have” cell phone will look like and I wonder what will it be able to do?
ReplyDeleteThe development of the cell phone is a tremendous sight to see. In the early 90s it was a rare occurrence to see a cell phone, and if you were lucky enough to own one or knew someone who owned one, then you know it wasn't as simple to put-in-your-pocket and transport around as is it currently is. I also think it's a very good point being made about its development every couple of months. The improvements are exponential and will continue to be this way. One can only wonder what a cell phone will not only look like, but be capable of in the next five to ten years.

I agree with you, it is very interesting to what cell phones have become. The use to be huge bulky and could only do so much. Now they are much smaller and can do so much more. the continuous developing of the cell phone is very intriguing. I wonder whats next.
