2. With our ever increasing capacity in our world, Mobile Technology seems to
be at the fore-front. It is very hard to believe that this technology didn’t even
exist 100 years ago, now it is the most used technology in our society today.
In the near future, there will be more mobile phones than there are people in
the world. Almost the entire population will have a mobile phone in their
hands.
With this in mind, we will explore the future of Mobile Technology, with a
brief history of the past, and the possibilities that lie ahead. In terms of
mobile technology:
THE FUTURE IS NOW

3. Mobile Technology
An electronic tele-communications device, often referred to as a cellular
phone or cellphone. Mobile phones connect to a wireless communications
network through radio wave or satellite transmissions. Most mobile phones
provide voice communications, Short Message Service (SMS), Multimedia
Message Service (MMS), games, cameras, video players, navigational systems,
and also provide Internet services such as Web browsing and e-mail.
They can be used over a wide area without a physical connection to a
network.

9. Sizes
Past/Present/Future - Sizes and Types
http://www.planyscloud.com/mobile-fragmentation/
Mobile phones started off large.
Then went to a smaller hand-held device.
Recently, larger units have become popular again.
It seems completely dependent on the user.
Some want it as small as possible to fit into their pocket.
Others want large screens and multi-functionality.
The future is whatever size you want.

http://kenzo2010.blogspot.ca/2011_07_01_archive.html
A new mobile generation has appeared approximately every 10th year.
1G was introduced in 1981.
2G system started to roll out in 1992.

Next in line - 5G - 5th generation mobile networks.
5G is also referred to as beyond 2020 mobile communications technologies.
5G does not describe any particular specification in any official document.
Possible new features - New data coding - Efficient support of machine-type
devices - One unified global standard - Real wireless world with no more
limitation with access and zone issues - User centric network concept instead of
operator-initiated - World-wide wireless web (WWWW)
DJ

19. Current
New mobile generations assigned new frequency bands and wider spectral
bandwidth per frequency channel.
(1G up to 30 kHz, 2G up to 200 kHz, 3G up to 20 MHz, and 4G up to
100 MHz).
What about 5G?
Skeptics argue that there is little room for larger channel bandwidths and
new frequency bands suitable for land-mobile radio.

While current implementations use dual-core
designs, the A9 specification can support up to 4 cores
and speeds between 800MHz and 2GHz.

22. Future Performance
Augmented Reality
Makes more information available for
users by combining computer data to
what we see in real life. Using the
camera on your phone, you can point it
somewhere ‘live’ to get an information
overlay of where you can find the
nearest cafes or dining places.

23. Future Performance
Bluetooth
Bluetooth has arrived – it’s been around forever, but up to now it’s been no
good. Bluetooth LE (also called Bluetooth Smart) changes everything.
Connections, pairing, device management will finally work 100% of the time.
There will truly be a radio in everything around us and it’s going to enable
incredible experiences in mobile.

24. Entry-level smartphones come between 512MB and 2GB of internal
storage, with high-end models ranging between 8GB (the iPhone 3G, the Palm
Pre), 16GB (the Nokia N96), and 32GB (the iPhone 3GS).
With the sizes of phones increasing and the alarming rate of new
technology, storage capacity will increase by many GB, up to 500 GB in the
near future. People want everything wherever they go; the mobile community.

25. Has become very important in mobile computing as it relates to the security of
personal information on smartphones. Attacks can come from many sources.
SMS – MMS – GSM – Wi-fi – Bluetooth – Web browser – Operating System
The first layer of security within a smartphone is the operating system.
After the operating system security, there is a layer of security software.
Anti-virus is also a good option.
Security is constantly being upgraded as new threats occur almost daily.

What is Location Based Advertising?
This mobile advertising is used to pinpoint consumers
location and provide them with specific advertisements
that relate to their location.

27. There are two factors for Location Based Advertising
1) Push Factor
2) Pull Factor
• Target consumers with advertisements
until they don’t want the ads
• Determine what ads and promotional
material received
• Advertisers respect users choices
• Users want specific information
• Locate with certain key words

28. How do the Companies Advertise these Services?
Using Push Factor:
•
•
•
Users must enter personal information (name, phone
number, other related information)
Company sends a text message for confirmation and submission
Company then provides users with geographically based offers

29. Example of a Push Factor:
A woman waiting for a bus may start getting notifications from local
fast-food restaurants in the area. She may be very health
oriented, which means she would have to submit information about
herself to the company if she wants useful promotional material

30. How do the Companies Advertise these Services?
Using Pull Factor
•
•
Companies like go2 Media
Aggregate local listings from Yellow Page companies, local
directories, and group discount business

31. Example of a Pull factor:
A young male meeting her friends at a
local Chinese restaurant and being able
to locate the restaurant from her phone
and viewing their menu.

32. How Location Based Advertising relates to Power
•
•
•
Ability to go somewhere
Capacity to act in a certain way
To direct or influence the behaviours in others and events

33. Divided into three types
•
•
•
Messaging
Display
Search product placement

34. •
How the Future affects us positively
•
Finding a location on maps
Being aware of local hot spots
Running errands becomes easier
Personalize your phone to meet your needs
Disarm any useless information given

38. Eliminations of present careers
•
•
•
•
Technology revolutions is quickly replacing peoples jobs with
machinery
More than 800 million humans are unemployed
Job assignments have shrunk
Highest level of unemployment since the great depression

39. Which jobs will be eliminated
•
•
•
Farmers
Factory workers
Service workers

Powerful market driven careers are
rapidly moving the economy in
another direction
Booming global commerce
Millions of skeptical workers
Low paying, and usually temporary

Security pins and signatures are soon to be
replaced by the individuality that is fingerprinting.
“Apple has its Passbook app, but given the fingerprint recognition capabilities in
the new iPhone 5s and comments from Apple CEO Tim Cook … it sounds like
Apple has a few tricks up its sleeve. Given the huge number of credit cards on
file … Apple could have a meaningful impact on mobile payment adoption.”

54. As you have read about the future of Mobile Technology, we can only wonder
what may come next. Almost everyone has a mobile device in their hands.
People everywhere are trying to make the next big app, the cool design, the
fastest technology. With mobile being on the fore-front of people’s minds and
one of the biggest markets today, we anticipate an alarming rate of inventions
and technologies to come in the near days ahead.
The possibilities are endless. There is a current patent for a tattoo device
linking to your mobile; what’s next, implantable devices? I’m sure we’ll find
out soon, as technology is taking over the world as we know it. We are now
totally reliable on technology, especially Mobile Technology.
WE ARE THE MOBILE GENERATION
