It��s difficult to imagine that 50 years ago cell phones were a rarity. The history of the cell phone from its humble beginnings like a novelty item to an everyday necessity is a fascinating journey.<br /> <br /> 1843 �C A skilled analytical chemist by the name of Michael Faraday began exhaustive research into whether space could conduct electricity. Faraday exposed his great advances of nineteenth-century science and technology and his discoveries have had an incalculable impact on technical development toward cell phone development.<br /> <br /> 1865 �C Dr. Mahlon Loomis of Virginia, a dentist, seemed to be the first person to communicate through wireless via the atmosphere. Between 1866 and 1873 he transmitted telegraphic messages at a distance of 18 miles between the tops of Cohocton and Beorse Deer Mountains, Virginia. He developed a method of transmitting and receiving messages by using the Earth��s atmosphere as a conductor and launching kites enclosed with a copper screens that were linked to the ground with copper wires. Congress then awarded Loomis a $50,000 research grant.<br /> <br /> 1947 �C Douglas H. Ring and W. Rae Young, in colaboration with Bell Labs proposed the 1st hexagonal cells for mobile phones. Philip Porter also of Bell Labs was the first to propose a system utilizing cell towers at the corners of the hexagons as opposed to at the centers. These towers would have directional antennae that would transmit in three directions. Unfortunately these innovations would not have immediate impact until the frequency range spectrum could be increased.<br /> <br /> 1968 �C the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulation that limited radio-spectrum frequencies was increased and allowed research into creating better connections. Before this the number of simultaneous conversations in a service area was severely limited. The FCC in cooperation with AT&amp;T and Bell Towers established the infrastructure of broadcast towers that allow modern cell phones to broadcast today.<br /> <br /> 1973 �C Dr. Cooper set up a base station in New York with the 1st working prototype of a cellphone, the Motorola Dyna-Tac. Mr. Cooper and Motorola took the telephone technology to New York to show people.<br /> <br /> 1988 �C this year changed many of the technologies that had become typical in the past. The Cell phone Technology Industry Association (CTIA) was developed to lay down practical goals for cellphone providers. This included research for new applications for cell phone development. A new standard was placed with the creation of the TDMA Interim Standard 54, in 1991 by the Telecommunications Industry Association.<br /> <br /> 2000��s �C shortly after the development of second generation technology another technological advance was made to third generation technology. Movement was made towards standardizing a single worldwide cell phone standard. The introduction of additional multimedia features was incorporated into phones. Email, internet, and data transfer became a standard feature.<br /> <br /> The Future �C cell phone technology is limitless. It has been suggested that [http://www.china-cell-phone.com china cell phone] will eliminate the need for any land based phone systems. The advent of this technological shift will plod rapidly along as technological advances allow mobile devices to be smaller, handier and adaptable to almost every eventuality.</div> Wed, 02 May 2012 05:22:56 GMT BarrosKasten709 http://www.aalf.org/wiki/index.php?title=Talk:BarrosKasten709
