The History Of The Mobile Phone

The idea of mobile phones has been around a lot longer than you thought

. In 1947 a certain Douglas H Ring and W Rae Young, who worked for the Bell laboratories, had the idea of a hexagonal cell for mobile phones.

The Eighties brought about the first real launch of the mobile phone as we know it today, but as with any new invention, only the very well off, or very rich individuals could afford to buy one.

The first mobile phones were nothing like the ones that you see today, they were very heavy, cumbersome articles, and were not very easy to carry about.

Because of their size you could not hold them up for too long before your arm started to ache. Not a good idea really. Also the sound was not very clear; nothing like you get today. The main concept of these phones were to carry in your car when you were out and about.

The first truly portable made phone device was actually introduced by Motorola.

By 1990 the mobile phones had shrunk. Incidentally that was they year that the first Digital cellular phone call was actually made, right here in the United States.

The original cell phone was only supposed to be for the consumer to be able to make or take voice calls whilst they were out of the home or work, and they were only analogue phones.

Like anything else with time, technology has moved on since the first mobile phones were introduced. You are now able to do a lot more on your mobile phone than just the making and receiving of calls, such as text messaging, video calls, taking and receiving pictures and much more. The mobile phone has got bigger technology with its smaller size.

As we move forward, so will the technology of the mobile phone, and soon the cell phone networks will be moving data around faster than a computer. They will coexist with the likes of WI-FI and WiMax.
