Ring Ring, Ring Ring

From bricks to Iphones in less than 25 years, the phone a seemingly going no where item, boomed and was instantly adopted lovingly into society, and developed faster than anything ever.
The research to develop mobile phones were pushed along by two main sectors,
The military
Pornography industry.

Motorola that created the first handheld mobile, surprising right. since they arent even in the top five leading phone brands today, however it is thanks to them development has been pushed this far and is still pushing.

The Nokia was the first, and today is the common joke fore its brick like-ness and the fact it was basically indestructible, a fact i like to think is true as ive had many phones in my lifetime, yet this was my backup, and never ever broke.

Emailing and texting became standard by mid nineties, and from there basically created a new language of its own. A language alot of the world is still unfamiliar and others only speak.
The big phones that changed the history of phones....
The Nokia pushed for smaller phones
The blackberry made emailing and word processing on phones so accessible, other phones had to catch up
then came the Iphone, touch screen. from there everything history

When you realize how fast technology has advanced in the last two decades alone, its actually quite frightening and makes you question quite alot.

Like how does it work ?
Mobile networks are global and use a portion of radio frequency spectrum. designated aa an ultra high frequency for the transmission and reception of thier signals.
This ultra high band of frequency is also shared by television, wifi and bluetooth transmissions.

Mobile devices have thier upsides and down sides like anything.

-paranoia society
We think everyone sees us, they know where we are, who we are with and if they dont, we want them to. or we ask everyone else who they are with and where.
no privacy, whether you want it or not.

-space
we are basically all everywhere

-personal relationships
with this whole constant connectedness to everything, long distance is no longer a problem with relationships, you can talk, speak screen to screen at any given time with whoever you want.
However its the short distance relationships that get the down side of phones, as they tend to be distracting and the usual problem in a relationship nowadays.

This is all amazing and kind of earth shaking, but as long as i can stay on top of this ever changing world of technology, i can easily use it to my advantage, however its alot to take in and also makes you wonder. whats next? im sure a hundred years ago nobody thought man could be on the moon. fifty years ago nobody would imagine computers basically run the world, and even a mere twenty years ago im sure nobody imagined phones would develop to the point we have more in our average phones than high tech computers had when phones were being invented.
