THE CELL PHONEby Miquel Marrow

How did the invention of the cell phone begin?

•The invention of the cell phone started with Samuel Morse. He invented the first electromagnetic telegraph in 1832.

•In 1843, Michael Faraday began research into whether space could conduct electricity.

. . . continued•In 1864, James clerk Maxwell released his paper, “Dynamical Theory of the electromagnetic field”,

which concluded that light, electricity and magnetism, were all related.

•And in 1865, Dr. Manhlon Loomis of VA may have been the first person to communicate through

wireless via the atmosphere. In the years of 1866-1873 he transmitted telegraphic messages at a

distance of 18 miles between the tops of Cohocton and Beorse Deer Moutains in VA.

WHO created the FIRST cell

phone?

•Hired by Motorola in 1954, Martin Cooper worked on developing portable products.•He set up a base station in NY with the first working prototype of a cellular telephone, the Motorola Dyna-TAC.

. . . Continued •On April 3, 1973 Martin Cooper made the first phone call to his rival at AT&T Bell Labs from the streets of NY.•In 1983, Motorola introduced the 16-ounce DynaTAC phone, each costing the consumer $3,500.•It took an additional 7 years before there were a million subscribers.

How has the cell phone improved over time?

The cell phone has changed completely over time. Now the cell phone has a display screen; you can

communicate with people all over the world; PDA’s; internet, Wi-Fi; music players; 4G & 3G internet;

planners; navigational systems and much much more. . .

. . .and MANY more improvementsAnd the cell phone continued to improve. Now a

days cell phones have GPS’s, PDA’s, custom designs, touch screens, 3G internet, a lot of premium features, MP3 capabilities, text messaging, games, cameras, and much much more! In my own opinion the cell phone is a computer packed into a small handheld device.

How has the cell phone affected or improved daily

life?Before the cell phone was invented things

were much harder. People had to communicate by telegraph or by letters, that

took along time to receive. The cell phone enables people to communicate with each

other all over the world, text each other, and use the internet and many other features that

enable them to communicate, chat, and get work done. The cell phone is an essential part

of life.

AND THERE’S MORE. . . That’s’ IT! =)
