Cell Phones And Its Impact On Society

Over the past decade, we have integrated technology into many parts of out lives. We use our cell phones for everything from finding directions, to taking pictures of moments you do not want to forget. Everywhere you go, you cell phone goes with you, if you forget it at home, somehow we feel naked without it. Cell phones have become so powerful and useful for so many things other than just making phone calls; I do not even know why we still call them phones. With that, we have the right to feel secure and free from unwarranted searches though our cell phones and electronic devices.

Ever since cellular phones first came to be in the 1980’s, people have been using them to carry out conversations, ask questions, or meet new people. Once cell phones reached a height of internet capabilities, smartphones were created. Cell phones from then on ended up changing society entirely. This research study could explain the effects of cell phones from their creation to today’s society and how they would influence the future generations. This study would also focus on the evolution of how cell phones become even more involved in our lives and how they truly influence us. This study would be beneficial to our generation by teaching them how technology is expanding, and the lives of humans will get easier as time goes on. Furthermore, this study would be beneficial as a report on how cell phones came to be in our history. This would expectedly heighten the awareness of society to how different our lives could be according to technological development. To the future researchers, this study could be used as a base for data in future development into how society adapts.

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.

The radio was never used more—or for a much more important reason—than during World War I and World War II. Prior to the first world war war, many ships used the radio for communication. In the early part of the 20th Century, amplification was one of the top concerns of the development of the radio. Of course people were able to communicate with others hundreds of miles away, but the clarity and amplification of the messages weren’t necessarily as good as many had expected and counted on. Often times, other means of communication—like the telegraph—were better off being used instead of the radio. Because of that, Lee De Forest invented the Audion vacuum tube in 1906, and followed that up one year later by adding his triode tube. According to

On April 3, 1973, the first public cellular phone call was made by Martin Cooper, then general manager of Motorola’s Communication Systems Division. Cooper called his rival at AT&T from the streets of New York City. Phones gradually added features, such as cameras, mp3 players, video capability, speakerphone, and much more. Today, cell phone technology has advanced to smartphones, which allow more computing ability and connectivity than a contemporary feature phone. The Droid, the iPhone, and the Blackberry are the most popularly sold phones in today's smartphone market.

In the 20th century, Gugliemo Marconi, a young Italian, invented the wireless telegraph by using the sources that were investigated by major scientists on electromagnetic waves and electricity. The first audio was sent out by Reginald A. Fessenden in 1907 and by 1910, the wireless telegraph had become what we now called the “radio”. The radio impacted the American society both culturally and politically in the year of 1920s and onward by providing the entertainment and also the comforts that was needed due to the Great Depression.

Technology has advanced over the years, causing our lifestyle to change drastically and head down a new path. With these advances in technology, the cell phone appeared and has evolved throughout time. The cell phone has become a necessity to many. All ages use this mobile device for either personal or business use. Higgins states that the amount of cell phones active has increased from “one billion in 2000 to 6 billion.” Although cell phones play an important role in the lives of many, the negative possibilities could cause destruction to our society.

The Iridium project was intended to create a worldwide wireless handheld mobile phone system with the ability to communicate in the world at any time. This project was valued very highly by the Motorola executives, they thought this to be the eighth wonder of the world.

Thesis: The usage of cell phones in modern day society has caused quite the problem for citizens in this generation by being a major distraction, causing addictions, and has sadly became the main resource of communication.

Before I dive into the significant developments within my life I feel it is important to look back at the broader scope of the history of telecommunications and technology to see some of the earlier examples of

Phones continued to develop clearer signals and longer ranges. The first cell phone, produced in 1947, was the car phone. However, it only worked when driving on the highway between Boston and New York. In 1973, the first portable phone call was placed, and by 1991 mobile phones were available to the public. By 2001, these newly developed cell phones overshadowed payphones and were an integral part of American daily life.

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 main phone was much not quite the same as what we have today. In 1984 the Motorola Dyna Tac8000x was discharged into the business sector (Associated Press, 2005). This telephone was the first of its kind and was completely dissimilar to anything that anyone in the United States had ever

who led a team of developers at Motorola and made the first cell phone call in April 3, 1973 at

During the Second World War Motorola developed the Handie-Talkie SCR536 handheld radio transmitter and receiver, and icon of that conflict, and forefather of the mobile phone. In the 1970s, together with AT&T, Motorola started developing cellular networks, and in 1980 the company released the world’s first mobile phone, the DynaTAC phone. From then on the company because a household telecommunications name.
