Mobile technology has been moving forward at a breakthrough speed, and sometimes we may not notice it, but recall that a few years ago you can see all the new feature integration and market competition - a "wow" game consumer and let They choose a particular device. But before we talk about the current trends in mobile phones and smartphones, let's discuss the past development of these devices.
Since then, I have the first mobile "mobile" phone - I want to tell you a short story and start the discussion.
My first phone was the most advanced at the time, but if you see them today, you will laugh. One of them is actually reserved; Mitsubishi can be transported. The size of this phone is about the size of the 6-pack cooler in your kid's football game, it's very heavy, because I remember it is more than 10 pounds. This of course includes the battery pack that can power a 3 watt phone.
Keep in mind that the ionic lithium batteries were just off the assembly line and very expensive - they don't have this size except for NASA and military use. The original mobile phones I use are nickel-metal hydride batteries, which are quite inferior battery technology for modern mobile phones.
There is a strap on the Mitsubishi phone, so you can carry it with you. I often feel it very stupid to hold it until it rang. I pulled the top zipper, pulled out the phone on my phone and started talking. I remember everyone staring at what looks like I am a secret CIA agent, working for MI6, my name is not Lance, but James Bond. You see, not many people own mobile phones at the time and they are expensive.
The other part of my first phone is the Audiovox 1000 model, which is very large and is installed in my car, a car phone. The box that runs the phone is mounted under the seat and there is a cradle that supports the headphones. There is a wire on the headset, just like the phone at home, before the cordless phone. Below the seat, the box is about 3 1/2 inches high and the laptop is 17.1 inches.
This phone or car phone is directly connected to the battery via several fuses. When I turn on the phone, the phone automatically turns on. If I turn off the vehicle, I have to put it on the accessory and put the key in the right position, unless I put the phone next to the ignition. When the phone rang, actually when I honked the horn, when I drove the police car to the intersection, when the horn turned off, I had trouble several times. I have a lot of stories to tell you about the early stories of the first phone. If you are interested in these experiences, you can email me.
Today's people think that this is all taken for granted, because they don't realize how troublesome the original mobile phones are, or how stupid they are compared to modern smartphones. Today, when you sign up for the service, they will give you a free mobile phone - then you have to pay $1,000 to buy a car phone and spend a few hundred dollars to install it. This is a very simple program, if you have a stereo system and put it into your car's XM radio, that's how much work. So, at today's labor rate, you can easily pay three or $400. This is definitely worth thinking about.
If I am talking to someone on the phone while the engine is running, if I turn off the car and move the key to the attachment, I will turn it on because I cut it off during the conversion process. However, installing a mobile phone in my car helped me increase my business. I was only 17 years old at the time - I have a service from an aircraft brokerage company and an aircraft finder, and I charge a fee whenever I represent the aircraft for sale. I also have a small aircraft cleaning service and can contact customers on the flight line through my vehicle. My staff can call me when they finish their work because they will call me using the local public phone. .
Therefore, this mobile technology allows me to make more money and is more efficient than the competition. Remember, at the time this was cutting-edge technology, it was the most advanced, I have it - no competition. I am no longer trapped in the office, I can run my own business from anywhere, which gives me a lot of freedom. Today people often don't realize the situation before the mobile phone. Anyone who is now over 50 will realize that because they remember when they don't have a mobile phone.
This is a period in the history of our country. Every shopping mall, every gas station, and every fast food restaurant have pay phones. People have been using them all the time. Business people who don't smoke use coins to fill the ashtray so they can stop using the payphone. Therefore, they are allowed to call customers, customers, suppliers, and maintain their operations in the office. When mobile phones first came into play, they replaced the original Motorola mobile phone technology, which uses mountain top repeaters, which are very large in the military and construction industries, and all executives with large companies have them. .
Since this is a radio technology, they work farther than the first cell phone, and the first cell phone must be within 10 to 15 miles of the cell tower. Today, the wattage of mobile phones is lower than at the time, so the average cellular tower is 6 miles or less. At that time, the power consumption of the mobile phone was 3 watts, and now 3G technology is used, and the wattage is less than 1 watt. This may be beneficial to human biological systems because it reduces microwave frequency radiation into the brain, brain tumors are reduced, and brain cancer and other issues. Some studies, including several studies by Swiss researchers, seem to indicate that 3 W phones are very unacceptable to human health, and as one researcher says, they cook your brain slowly.
Fortunately, for the mobile phone industry, they can cover most of these issues and objections, as well as research done by the Swiss. Although there are studies in the United States, it is difficult to find research and data on brain tumors, brain cancer, and their relationship to mobile phones used by people. In fact, if you go to Google Scholar today, you will have a hard time finding anything that suggests that the phone may cause such a harsh environment. This of course remains to be discussed, but we try not to talk about it.
Perhaps, with 3G wireless technology and lower wattage, the mobile phone industry has escaped huge class actions, and we may never know the damage we have caused. However, when we talk about Six Sigma efficiency in the enterprise, or use modern management technology in small businesses, no one can deny that improving communication speed and reliability is a factor in improving productivity in the 1980s and 1990s due to mobile phones.
I was running 1000 to 1200 minutes a month, although this service is much cheaper than other options, such as Iridium satellite phones, non-mobile mobile devices, because they don't use cell towers, but use satellites - you can imagine the original The cost of cells. They don't have an unlimited plan. Once you exceed your meeting minutes, you pay the premium per minute with your mobile phone. My bill is usually $500 to $800 or more.
The other phones at the time were not phones based on ring tones, they were push-to-talk and it was a short case - it was considered James Bond at the time. It was in the 1970s, I remember this because I started at the local airport when I was 12 years old. Many merchants with business jets have these types of mobile phones. They are basically for the rich and famous, as well as businessmen. They don't work anywhere, you have to have the closest sight to the nearest mountain, the mountain must have a transponder on it, it is hardwired to the phone line, the rest of the system and the ground line ã ‚
All of this is very interesting, we must consider that many people have never lived today when there is no mobile phone. They don't know how hard it is to run a business without a mobile communication. The same repeater system on the top of the hill that Motorola owns or uses Motorola hardware also controls the pager. These pager systems are very popular with callers, such as doctors and service personnel. Two-way radios are usually the same as two-way push-to-talk briefcase phones and are typically used by company dispatchers.
Later, just like the mobile phone, there were ideas for 1.5-way and two-way pagers. Instead of a one-way pager, someone with what they call an "alpha pairing" device can page someone and ask them questions [using text messages] on that page, and the recipient can press the button Yes or No, Y Or N. and the information will be forwarded to the dispatcher. People are actually very good at communicating in this way. And you can send a text type message for the user of the pager to read. In fact, these are the first text type messages, so the concept of owning mobile devices and using text messages is not new.
Two-way text messaging over a mobile phone is just a re-introduction of similar technology. Once people have a mobile phone, they no longer need to use a text pager, and as the price of mobile services decreases, the technology has surpassed, as competition between companies such as Sprint and AT&T is increasing. There are also many smaller players in other regions, but they were eventually bought by big boys.
Mobile phone industry...
