...Smartphones and the Social Life On October 17th, 1973 we made a huge leap forward in communication. The first mobile phone call was made by a company known then and now as Motorola. Mobile phones were not widely known of until the mid-80’s and were not even carried and used by many individuals until the early 90’s. Stated by the U.N. Telecom Agency; now, in 2013 103.9% of the United States population uses a cell phone! That means some people carry more than one cell phone and many young children are carrying phones as well. According to Jennifer Ludden, on average a child has a cell phone by the age of eight, and a smart phone by the age of fourteen. Cell phones have now become the main means of communication, and not necessarily through phone calls. People are most commonly communicating through text, whether it be text messaging, emailing, or with social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr. People are now able to do a countless amount of tasks from their cell phones. You will commonly hear many people say “there’s an app for that!”. Essentially referring to the fact that you don’t need to go to the library or ask a friend for information that you are not knowledgeable of, you can just browse the web on your phone, or download an app that will have what you are looking for. You may be thinking that this gives people more time during the day to do more important daily tasks, like spend time with their families, walk the dog, maybe work out for that thirty minutes...

...as how secure each device would be for employees to use. The devices were compared to find which device would be best to have each employee use. The Apple iPad is practical for small businesses because it can be set up for fewer users and it easy to use, as well as compact, which makes it easy to transport form office to office or from home to home for remote employees. Unfortunately, for large companies, the Apple iPad can be difficult to set up for multiple users on a single iPad. Setting up devices for each work station can be very costly, as it requires its own hardware for each workstation. The iPad runs faster with the A6X chip, which launches the applications faster and makes the device run faster. The device can support a wide range of virtual private networks, which makes the device secure. The Toshiba Excite 13 Tablet is a little bigger than the iPad, which can make it harder to transport, but easier to use when at home or in the office. It is about the size of a regular notebook, so transportation really won’t be difficult. It is an easy to use device and makes it easy for people to multitask with. The battery on this device does not last as long as other tablets last, which can make it difficult to use when out in the field. Users can share files and reports with an SD card or...

...Cutting the Phone Line Other Things to Consider Pros: Cost: Most wire line phone companies charge more than what you'd pay for most alternatives, and they are taxed more as well. There are some locations where getting new wired phone service is prohibitively expensive or even impossible. Long Distance and extra features like Call Waiting are normally included with alternative phones. These calling features aren't regulated so they can be very pricey. More Features: Cellular and broadband phones normally include Long Distance, Voice Mail, Caller ID, Call Forwarding and more, usually at no additional charge. They also have Text Messaging and various forms of data service which are unavailable with most landlines. Portability: If you move your home more than average (or if it's on wheels), your phone and your number can stay with you. There are no "installation" charges. Temporary Usage: You can have phone service for the season in a vacation home or cabin or on an extended stay at a hotel or home of a friend or relative without installing a separate line. Fewer Telemarketers: Nuisance calls are reduced because telemarketers want to target customers in certain geographic areas. With cellular and broadband phones they won't know where you are. Most Telco’s provide your landline number to telemarketers. With cellular it's illegal...for now. With broadband, it depends on the carrier who sets up your number.

...forward to the 20th century, ENIAC, the first possible computer was made. (Chatterjee, 2014) From there, the world tried to merge together these technology to serve as a source of information and mode of communication. Cellular phones, by definition of Merriam Webster, is a small, portable telephone that people can take with them and use outside their homes. Presently, cell phones are much more than that. To the point, individuals take them whenever or wherever. Due to the improvement and development of cell phones it has risen to popularity. Similar to everything else, it has its advantages and drawbacks. As cell phones continue to rise into fame and stay constantly into lives of individuals, it also continues to change the way of living, gradually. Comparing technology from two centuries before and technology today, drastic changes can be seen. Changes that includes the of impact cell phones to the society, which consists of both positive and negative sides. Initially cell phones were invented for the purpose of long distance and instant communication. Succeeding to that, cell phones were improved to be able to capture images and produce sounds of different music. Afterwards cell phones improved even more that it allows one to be able to surf the internet. And now an individual is just a touch towards the world or perhaps a touch away from the world.

She discusses what phones are starting to do to this generation, uses studies and data to back up her points, and shows how this affects people’s skills to interact with people off the phone. She states that 89 percent of people interviewed had used their phone at the last social event, with that being said, it says a lot about this generation and how they would rather be on the phone then actually talking face to face. By having this phone oriented view of life, it is affecting those who are looking to get a job or applying for schools because they lack the people skills necessary because of the lack of human interaction. While phones are a great invention, they are starting to take over everyone’s lives.

...Introduction . what are the potential health issues associated with cellular telephone use? Whether it’s the increased use of cell phones by children, or the overall increase in cell phone use by adults, human exposure to electromagnetic radiation is happening in ways never dreamed of before. Very young children are using them, teenagers live on them—and some even sleep with them on their pillows, as cell phones are often used as alarm clocks. What do these exposures consist of and what do they mean for human health? Whether cell phone use affects the human nervous system and reproduction, causes DNA damage and behavioral changes, or creates addictive behavior, cell phones are now ubiquitous in our lives. Cell phone technology has changed quickly over time and continues to develop, which means that human exposures also change over time. This report explores what we know about cell phone use, exposures, and human health. Impact of mobile phone technology in environment: The Cell Phone Problem Electromagnetic Radiation _ All cell phones emit a type of radiation called an electromagnetic field (EMF), composed of waves of electric and magnetic energy moving together through space. Different types of electromagnetic energy are categorized by their wavelengths and frequencies and comprise the electromagnetic “spectrum” (see next page). _ Different radiation frequencies are used by different...

In addition to the standard voice function of a mobile phone, telephone, current mobile phones may support many additional services, and accessories, such as SMS for text messaging, email, packet switching for access to the Internet, gaming, Bluetooth, infrared, camera with video recorder and MMS for sending and receiving photos and video. Most current mobile phones connect to a cellular network of base stations (cell sites), which is in turn interconnected to the public switched telephone network (PSTN) (the exception is satellite phones). History In 1908, U.S. Patent 887,357 for a wireless telephone was issued in to Nathan B. Stubblefield of Murray, Kentucky. He applied this patent to "cave radio" telephones and not directly to cellular telephony as the term is currently understood. Cells for mobile phone base stations were invented in 1947 by Bell Labs engineers at AT&T and further developed by Bell Labs during the 1960s. Radiophones...

You might be bewildered by the title of my paper. What type of ghost and what machine? The addiction that will be discussed is cell phone addiction, so the machine is the cell phone and the ghost is the addiction. Cell phone addiction is one of the most hidden addictions of all time. Not all addictions are related to narcotics, such as opium and other drugs, which dull a person’s senses. An addiction is actually a persistent disease, characterized by the weakened control over the use of a psychoactive substance or behavior. Surprisingly, even though cell phone addiction is mainly a teenage problem, some adults are also addicted to the use of cell phones. Scientifically, the symptoms occur along...

...Is it really that important to stay connected during every hour of the day? According to Ian Mulgrew, a journalist/author from Canada, many accidents are blamed on distracted driving and most of the distractions are caused by cell phone usage. (Mulgrew) Many drivers today have such busy lives and never have time to get the things they need to do completed in one day’s time. This leaves them to get things done while on the road. Checking emails is a top priority for Americans and since many havsmartphonees, they will do it on the road as well as send text messages.There are many laws being established to try to prevent distracted driving from happening, although they can’t completely stop it. No matter what age the driver is, under no circumstance should they be texting while driving. Texting or using a cell phone while driving is very hazardous to yourself and the people surrounding you. One reason the majority of people are against this action is because it causes a great amount of car accidents every year. (Copeland) While driving, adults and teenagers cannot resist the urge to pick up their cell phone and send a text or respond to one. When the driver hears the vibrate or ring, nothing can stop them from checking the notification on their phone. As soon as the driver’s eyes meet their cellular device, their focus on the road is drawn away. In 2009, 5,474 lives were taken and 448,000 people got injured from car accidents from being distracted while driving, says the government...

That little device you always have in your hand or pocket, the one you use to check the weather, communicate with your friends, or simply scroll through social media sites with – this little device is what’s known as a cell phone. Most people find this device as something that is needed to live, but have you ever wondered just how harmful a cell phone is to your body? If you text and drive, do you realize how dangerous it is? Or are you one of those people that don’t stop to think about this type of stuff because regardless, you can’t live without it? Either way, one should take into consideration what exactly it’s doing to your body and even the people around you. The device that you think is just keeping you in contact with all your friends may be causing you headaches, memory loss, DNA damage, malignant brain tumors, or even a car accident. Radiofrequency energy, also known as radio waves, is a form of non-ionizing radiation. Your cell phone emits these electromagnetic frequency (EMF) waves that penetrate a users’ brain. The tissues closest to where the phone is held absorbs in this energy. “The WTR (Wireless Technology Research) study showed a correlation between a higher incident of brain cancer and a great risk of rare neurological tumors and DNA damage among the users of handheld phones versus users of other types of phones” (Brown...

...Exist Professor March 16, 2015 Research and Writing Should Cell Phones be Ban from Driving or Do Away With? Over the last few years, there has been an up rise in car accidents and the probable cause is the use of cell phones. At one point drunk driving was the biggest cause of car accidents but now cell phone users are at risk as well. In some states across America, a law was made to ban cell phone use while driving but what about the other states. The probability of drivers talking on the cell phone and getting into accidents is only getting higher. The Government should ban cell phone use while driving in all states. In the past five years, cell phone use while driving has become the next biggest problem for the government to handle. Even though some government officials feel it is not causing that much of a problem. In a recent study done at the turn of the century by Robert W. Hahn and Paul C. Tetlock, cell phone use in cars will have caused about 10,000 serious accidents that year, leading to 100 fatalities. In 2002, another study was made by the Harvard Center for Risk Analysis. In their study, they found that drivers using cell phones are responsible for about 6 percent of U.S auto accidents each year, killing an estimated 2,600 people and injuring 330,000 others (Pickler, 2002). As you can see, within two years of research, the percentile has grown and something needs to be done. The cell phone industry has very little defense against such accusations, with the...
