First Concept Of A Smartphone

In 2008, sales of cell phones across the world reached 1.28 billion (Solomon, 2011). As the cell phone industry grew, so did their features. Now, cell phones come equipped with GPS tracking, various types of applications (apps), e-mail programs, usage of the Internet with high speeds, and cameras. Different cultures have different wants and needs for what they desire in a phone.

‘iPad’ was an instant hit selling over 3 million units in just 80 days. The

Smartphones were becoming much known and everyone wanted to have one. Many students had touchscreen phones, but the rest had a Blackberry or flip phones. Students in school always believed that having a high tech touchscreen phone was the top thing, but that was not what I wanted when I was in high school. When I was in high school I had a Blackberry which didn’t have internet. I thought my phone was decent and it worked fine to call and receive text messages.

Over the past 20 years, technology has advanced in an almost indescribable way and it is continuing to do so. It has a vast influence on our society and having some type of technological device is becoming a necessity for some people. Cell phones are one of these devices “with everyone from elementary school kids to senior citizens owning at least one. ”(Laura Jerpi)

The launch of the iPhone in 2007 transformed the humble mobile phone from a one-trick tool for communication into a catch-all platform whose functionality is constantly evolving. The smartphone … is now a pocket-size PC,” the editors wrote. “It facilitates instantaneous personal connections that make phone

Odds are, that in your pocket right now, is one of the single most advanced pieces of technology. But how did it get there? Your smartphone is the culmination of a movement that started more than fifty years ago. Although, technology as a whole has grown more in the past fifty years than in the past two thousand years. It all started with the creation of the personal computer. The first desktop computer to be mass produced and sold nationwide was the MITS Altair 8800 in 1975. However, interest in computers was very high before that point in time. In fact, several technology companies and industries already took shape before that point. These desktop computers, as well as mega computers marked the beginning of an era. This era is one that

Worldwide demand for Smartphones was robust as a result of the availability of high-speed wireless networks, mobile access to corporate intranets, and the broad acceptance of e-mail and text messaging for both business and personal communications.  The Smartphone industry was projected to grow from 10 percent of the global mobile market to 30 percent over five years. The growth is clear when considering in 2007 that the US enjoyed a 100% increase in user numbers with a 53% increase worldwide. Sales of units are predicted to be 500 million for 2008 and 2009 globally.

However, more and more people began the transition over to smart phones. By my sophomore year, almost everyone had chosen his or her side, IPhone or Samsung. After noticing this shift in interest, I started asking, or begging, my parents for a Samsung Galaxy just like what my best friend at the time had gotten for her birthday not too long before. After months of “asking,” it was Christmas time and I had pretty much given up all hope for the new device and was feeling so content with my Samsung Intensity II slider phone that I kind of even forgot about my obsession with the new, trendy phones. This is why I was taken so of guard when my fingers raced under the folds of the festive wrapping paper to have my eyes rest on a starch-white box with raised, black letters that read “Samsung Galaxy S4” in a neatly bonded, yet delicate font. Inside was a flat, black screen, much larger than what I was used to at the time, surrounded by a deep blue outline. The simple and unexpected moments like this make you eager for what’s to come. In this case, what was to come was a completely new way of communication that a whole generation got to discover

When the idea of using personal computers came out, many people laughed and wondered what anybody in their right mind would want with a computer. However, over the course of the past two decades computer technology has evolved so greatly that it is now rare not to find at least one computer in person's house. Even with some of today's fastest computers, humans are never satisfied, and everybody is looking for the "next big thing." Recently, as the sale of cell phones has been outdoing the sale of computers,(1) the question on everybody's minds is, "Are cell phones going to replace computers?" There are many similarities and differences between computers and cell phones. Although to the untrained eye they may seem like they are in two completely

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.

Corey, I also remember getting my first cellular phone and I was so happy to talk and text on the phone. Now, we can do so much with cellular phones. I think the issue of getting dropped calls is not as bad anymore, but you are right about everyone wanting the fastest data. Verizon, Sprint, Tmobile, and AT&T are always competing over who has the fastest data. A lot of people act like they cannot live without their phones now a days. I do not think we will have to wait ten years for 5g. I read an article about it will be out in 2018 and maybe before, it is a process still being worked on. I also think the data speeds are pretty fast, I guess it will move like a blink of an eye. I wonder what will come along with it. I do not think secondary

Technology has, since the primitive years, always been used to invent tools in order to solve problems. This would, in turn, simplify and make man’s life easier. Through advancements in the field, man has become more efficient on both the macro- and microscopic level. Anything nowadays can be attained with either the flip of a switch or a click of a mouse. One particular technology that came about in this time was the smartphone. Since 2008, the smartphone, a device that combines a normal cell phone with a computer, typically offering Internet access, data storage, e-mail capability, etc. all in your hand was deemed as ground-breaking technology and created one of the largest and most competitive market in terms of

From the beginning of time, humans have been innovating. Most famously the wheel which still is a prevalent creation 5500 years later. Throughout history, every era has seemed to surpass the last. In the early 1970’s the first cell phone call was made. After years of countless variations finally found a version that would stick with the iPhone. The smartphone has captivated society for the last decade. “In year one the iPhone had 3.7 million users, 8 years later that number was 231.5 million”. ( ) The popularity of these devices is astounding and now is a part of almost all aspects of people's lives. Smartphones give humans the ability to accomplish virtually anything anywhere. The possibilities of what one can do with these devices are limitless. Overall,

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.

3. It can be argues that Smartphone are increasingly becoming an everyday necessity in people’s live because of the important functions that they can do and the fact that they are all available in just one handset.
