Statement of Purpose
It is fascinating to watch how telecommunications gained freedom with the first mobile phone in 1973 (Cell Phone Invention) that costs $3500 to the smart phones of today that costs much cheaper, but contain so many more features, such as web capabilities and GPS tracking embedded in the chip design (Robertson, 2011). And, now, there are new innovations of the smart antenna that gives smartphone users the capability to make or receive calls at the same as time as texting, emailing, or even surfing the web (World's smallest smart antenna to revolutionize smartphone performance, 2012). Another innovation is Homeland Security working to add sensors to the cellphone chip to detect toxic chemicals and send alerts for safety (Homeland Security cell-all inititive aims to equip mobile phones with sensors to detect deadly chemicals, 2010). Telecommunications is advancing at rapid speeds making life better all the time. Undergraduate courses, such as Survey of Electronic Media and Telecommunications taught the social, economic, legal, and historical aspects of radio, television, telephony, and the Internet (Telecommunications Courses). Telecommunications Regulations taught about the regulations that control the telecommunications industry. Introduction to Telecommunications Management taught management techniques as they apply to the electronic media industry. Media Programming Strategies taught about the framework, principles, and strategies for programming
“More than three billion people worldwide now use the internet (Time), and 80 percent of them access if from their smartphones” (Smart Insights). A smartphone is a mobile phone that performs many of the functions of a computer, typically having a touchscreen interface, and much more. There is an abundant amount of smartphone brands out there in the world and while they all cost different prices, they all perform the same job. Each person uses their smartphone for various reasons, whether it’s for work or to make calls or texts. Smartphones have changed society in various ways, both good and bad. Although countless individuals think that smartphones have ruined American society, smartphones have actually benefited society because of more safety precautions, information on hand, and entertainment.
For anyone with just a cursory understanding of electronic engineering, it's something too easy to take for granted. Laptops just turn on and surf the web, upload the latest software and come in staggeringly compact sizes. Remote controlled cars give the user an amount of autonomy and options that would have been unheard of decades ago, and mobile phones rival the processing speeds, capabilities and options of most computers. The magic behind electrical engineering was never something that I took for granted. As Steve Jobs famously said, ""What a computer is to me is the most remarkable tool that we have ever come up with. It's the equivalent of a bicycle for our minds." (film "Memory & Imagination," 1990)" (cnn.com, 2012). I understood, even as a young boy, that there were things inside of machines that made them work, and I longed to understand what those things were and how they functioned. As a child, I loved to take things apart and see if I could get them to work properly. For example, I was always ripping apart calculators from school or the alarm clock in my bedroom. My mother thought I was trying to break these things, but I was really just trying to see if I could understand how they worked and put them back together myself, so that they still worked properly.
Initially, the telephone replaced the telegraph. Today, cell phones and smartphones have replaced the telephone. In fact, cell phones and smartphones are the desired communication methods worldwide. The use of cell phones and smartphones has increased in recent years for two primary reasons; its portability, and the fact that it allows people to stay connected just about anywhere around the globe. In addition to functioning as a traditional telephone, cell phones and smartphones also provide some of the following benefits: sending text messages to other users, making video calls (i.e. Skype), accessing E-mail (i.e. Gmail and Hotmail), and browsing the Internet and social networking websites.
Similar to the complexities of the Boeing 747 “super jet”, “No single person can comprehend the entire workings” of a cell phone. The cell phone found in the pocket of the majority of citizens of the world today include GPS, Wi-Fi, 3G or 4G networks, LTE, high-resolution cameras and millions of downloadable user-made applications to choose from. In fewer than 30 years, the cell phone went from a rare device only attainable by the wealthiest of the population, to a device that a large percentage of the population now owns. Whether on the streets of downtown Toronto, or a small village in poverty-stricken East Africa, it is becoming increasingly rare to find a person who does not own a mobile device.
Whenever we sit in the subway, eat in the restaurants, work in the offices, or study in the classrooms, it seems that we can always see people play around their cell phones. Cell phone is used extraordinary frequently and widely and takes an important role in people’s daily life. The crowd use cell phones to do a bunch of things, such as calling, texting, searching the Internet, taking photos, using GPSs to get directions and so on. Individuals have large demand for those cell phone’s utilities. However, the enormous demand will also bring notable privacy threat to the public. There is a contradiction between cell phone users’ demands and privacy threats as well as the necessity for those users to learn to how to balance the two things.
Technology in our country is constantly evolving. One of the most popular technologies used every day by billions of people are cellphones. Cell phones have created a huge impact in the way that we communicate, research, and spend free time.
Distractions when utilizing a cellular telephone is becoming extremely prevalent in present day. A cell phone is a telephone with access to a cellular radio system so it can be used over a wide area without a physical connection to a network. In 1843, Michael Faraday, studied to see if space could conduct electricity. In the year of 1865, Dr. Mahlon Loomis was the first person to communicate through wireless atmosphere. He came up with the idea of transmitting and receiving messages through atmosphere as a conductor. Then, in 1973 Martin Copper, came up with Motorola and by 1977 the first cell phone was made in Chicago. While this paper shows the distraction of cell phones, many people understandably wonder how this risk compares to other
Thanks to the "father of the cell phone" Martin Cooper, over 90% of people, just in the United States, possess his creation in their pockets ("Mobile Technology Fact Sheet"). Little did he know that these complex devices could grow to their current demand and start to pose a danger to society. Cell phones are a detrimental technology that is disrupting our way of life.
Today people of the world have a new addiction. This new addiction is known as the smartphone. The smartphones of today have so many features that the owners of them can hardly seem to put them down just for a second. These smartphones not only offer some of the same features that a personal computer would, but they also provide a very high level of entertainment. Even with all the capabilities that smartphones offer they still require and great level of understanding and responsibility. The purpose of this paper is to help others understand the direction of smartphone technology, the ways smartphone technology changes society, understand the impact of change and manner in which we live our lives, and how smartphones could potentially create hazardous situations.
Cell phones have been around for hundreds of years. It’s no surprise that more and more people are beginning to partake in cellphone use. Cell phones provide society with an easier way of communicating and obtaining information, but at the same time there are some negative consequences. What most people don’t realize is that cellphones are actually quite harmful to modern society. Scientifically cellphones emit radiations that can potentially produce fatal results. Overall cellphones have many benefits, but indefinitely they are detrimental to one’s wellbeing.
Cell phones have been a major part of everyday life by helping people connect with each other instantaneously. Even though cell phones and their benefits are easy to recognize, the safety of cell phone use has been debated because of the safety of the cell phone radiation. The safety of cell phone radiation that is emitted from cell phones is a controversial topics, debating claims such as whether it has a correlation with cancer or tumors, if children are affected by it more than adults are, and by whether or not it is safe cannot be decided because of how recent the adoption of cell phones are (procon.org).
Technology has been playing important roles in different areas such as industrial use, engineering purposes, and especially personal use nowadays. Its development has assisted to produce such convenient items in human society. Mobile phone is one of the greatest inventions of the advancement. In modern society, cell phones are held at least one per capita all over the world. There is a research date showing that 1,040.41 cell phones are used per 1,000 people in Australia in 2007. (Nation Master, 2017) This information proved that some individuals had more than one mobile phones in that year, moreover, the number of the cell phone usage positively have been increased by these days. It is obvious that the use of mobile phone is preferable and has variety of positive aspects because of these date from Nation Master. However, there are several potential risks related to the deep connection between the electronic device and human being in daily life.
Thesis: Cellular phones are the world’s most popular mobile device used by Americans today, but cell phones are said to be the leading cause of traffic accidents, they are used for cyber bullying, give off electromagnetic radiation that is harmful to our bodies and more; therefore we ask ourselves are cell phones really dangerous?
Over the course of a couple of years we’ve seen technology change and evolve as scientists and developers continue to develop mobile devices that will intentional become daily necessities for the human kind. Who would have thought that mobile devices and handheld devices would become so popular that you can find a young toddler using one to learn about different subjects and activities? Cellular devices, mobile devices, and computers have evolved so fast that they’re being used not only to search or make your standard call or internet browse but also to pay bills, video chat, and pretty much anything you can think of.
A cell phone is a gadget in telecommunication that uses radio waves over a region of network. A cell station at a fixed location serves the purpose of connecting cellphones wireless transmission for calls, landlines, and internet access (Furht & Ahson, 2016). The cellular phone identifies as a mobile application in the network structure comprising of SIM card and equipment assigning the telephone digits. The cellular phones are evolving, from the two- way radio to the current pocket-size device. Initially, phones were bulky thus lacking portability and only served in making calls. However, with the advancement in technological uses, the phone has almost similar features of a computer. As stated by Joshi (2016), the additional
