Something that is almost necessary and definitely important for our daily lives.
Even my old Grandmother needs one.
A phone.
But not just a phone.
A handphone.
In 1908, the first wireless phone was handed to Nathan B. Stubblefield of Murray, Kentucky.
The reason for the invention of a handphone is unknown.
But it's not hard to guess.
who doesn't want to be in contact 24/7?
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.
In 1960, the world’s first partly automatic car phone system Mobile System A (MTA)MTA was launched in Sweden.
With this, calls can be made and recieved in the car to/from the public telephone network, and the car could be paged.
MTA phones were consisted of vacuum tubes and relays, and had a weight of 40 kg.
In 1962, a more modern version called Mobile System B (MTB) was launched, which was a push-button telephone, and which used transistors in order to enhance the telephone’s calling capacity and improve its operational reliability.
In 1971 the MTD version was launched, opening for several different brands of equipment and gaining commercial success.
In 1973, Martin cooper was considered to be the inventor of the first practical mobile phone for hand-held use in a non-vehicle setting, after a long race against Bell Labs for the first portable mobile phone.
Using a modern, if somewhat heavy portable handset,
Cooper made the first call on a hand-held mobile phone on April 3, 1973 to his rival, Dr. Joel S. Engel of Bell Labs.
He is so cool! ;D
Just imagine how telephones improved from the past.

ReplyDeleteThis is an another impressive post! You have chosen the right topic to talk about. Handphones, handphone and handphones. Look around us, especially youths nowadays. There are countless youths and even adults and senior citizens who still need handphones. It is not only one of the easiest way to interact and keep in touch with their peers, colleagues and friends but rather, handphones are like part of our lives! Without them, we feel miserable, restless, and fingers itch. It also depends greatly on individual's intention to use it in a good way or the otherwise. Lastly, I FEEL SO GRATEFUL TO BE BORN IN THIS CENTURY, AND I TOO, LOVE TECHNOLOGY!
