CELL
PHONES - SOME CONSIDERATIONS OF THE FUTURE CELL PHONE TECHNOLOGY
You see, at that time not very many people had the cell phones and
they were very expensive. Another one of my first phones was an Audiovox 1000
model, which was quite big and it was mounted in my car, a car phone - cell
phone. The headset had a cord on it just like a phone at home, before the
cordless phones that is. This Cell Phone or car cell phone was wired directly
to the battery with a couple fuses. When I turned on the vehicle, the Cell Phone would
automatically turn on. Folks today take all this for granted, as they do not
realize how cumbersome the original cell phones, or how stupid they were
compared to modern day smart cell phones. Often people today do not realize
what it was like before mobile cell phones. Today, the cell phones are less
wattage than they were back then, so the average cell tower was 6 miles or less
apart. Two-way text messaging via cell phones is merely a re-introduction of
that similar technology. I can tell you this - my first cell phones were much
more powerful and worked much better than the cell phones of today.
Fast forward to today and now no one goes anywhere without a cell
phone. Today, our cell phones have changed the entire dynamics of our society. There
are unspoken of cell etiquette issues phone use in public. There are rules when
we can use our cell phones and when we can
not. Issues such as driving with a cell phone and the number of auto
deaths which occur while people are driving and talking on the phone at the
same time. One recent study in the cell phone industry noted that 90% of the
people who own cell phones have never used all the features, and doesn’t know how
to program them, or even they exist on their cell phone. Some allow you to use
your cell phone to do remote programming too.
Cell phones and our current smart phones are no exception. It is
hard to say the future what types of new features in our cell phones will have.
The early adopters of such cell phone and smart phone technologies are willing
to spend big bucks to have all-in-one devices. Google Phone and social
networking connections appear to be on the horizon. Consider if you will the
use of technology in Tiananmen Square - should governments be worried about your
cell phone technology, or the future of 4G wireless cell phones? There are many
cell phones that allow you to use speech recognition to dial cell phone
numbers, searching your databases, or navigating the screens on your cell
phone. Your cell phone will even become a payment device, be hooked to your
credit card information.
Most people do not realize how fast future cell phone
technology moves today, it seems to be exponentially
increasing. In the article the writer states: Of course, if cell phone banking
bothers you, perhaps we could suggest window shopping in real time via your
cell phone? Online shopping while window shopping. Wow, what a concept, all
this via your smart phone technology. And this is something that will
definitely be a hit with shoppers and cell phone users. Okay, so what about
Skype smart phone calls? The article researched the impressive growth of Skype
usage features in various smart phone devices, as if it could become the
international standard for all cell phones in the future. Sure the technologies
or applications might work slightly differently due to patent software and device
hardware, but essentially all companies will offer all applications eventually.
Cell phone technology has certainly come a long way since the days
when you needed an extra brief case to carry one around with you. Technology is
advancing at such a furious pace, that it seems you no sooner walk through the
door with your purchase of the latest cell phone, computer or other
technological advancement than it is either outdated, obsolete or just plain
old extinct! So, does that mean that the video phone in its current form is
about to replace our trusty old cell phones? For one thing, the videophone,
although very portable must be connected to broadband and an electrical outlet.
Sound familiar to the original cell phone? The cell phone, however was designed
for remote portable communication. I do believe though that as time progresses,
we will undoubtedly see the merging of these two technologies in the form of
video cell phones. Yes video is available on some cell phones right now, when
the phone network can handle the upload speed.
Here
are some predictions of what future cell phone technology will do:
Watching TV or movies - Expect mobiles showing video clips soon. Quality
of the video will also be fine. So live sports events, news, movies everything at
your finger tips. Fuel Cell - Battery life often holds tech products back, and
fuel cells could provide a boost. Fuel cells are like tiny engines that
generate power through chemical reactions. High Speed Data Access - Imagine
your Cell phone browsing the internet at DSL speed. Browsing the internet on
your cell phone is nothing new, but DSL speed would be.
Video Cameras - This technology is actually already here. While
currently a cell phone camera may have limited capabilities, it's only a matter
of time for it to exceed and surpass the performance of a stand alone video
camera, although there is some concern over somebody being video taped without
their consent.
Cell phone carriers have truly embraced the multimedia revolution
and decided to make our life cell phone centric. With technology like MP3,
Video streaming and photography consolidated into these small devices, you can
expect cell phones to become the only piece of electronic on us at all times.
An Australian firm, aiming to cut down credit card fraud, has been
reviewing cell phones that would provide the name of the location where the
credit card has been used. Morphing - The future looks bright for those with
unsteady fingers, given the anticipated launch of NEC tag phones. Nokia is
working upon nanotechnology products to build a Morph phone that can be bent or
twisted into different shapes and use the nearly invisible technology so that
the user can literally see through the phones.
The
idea is to use cell phones as a quick pass credit card that would require
swiping.
