History
The history lens is the outlook of how people view things using
history. Using the history lens, we try to look at what caused
something and its effects. Something that we look at through the
history lens is what was the motive behind that sure thing
happening. To find out all these aspects through the history
lens, we dig in or research the theories that relate to this
particular thing. Doing research involves finding evidence on
the facts that we will get (Simpson & Clapton, 2020). For
instance, when we look at mobile devices through the history
lens, we try to find the history behind mobile devices'
technology. Through the history lens, we look at what caused

2. the introduction of mobile devices technology. Mobile devices
technology was introduced to make communication easier.
Analyzing the past forms of communication, there were written
letters, smoke or fire, and postal offices. This was of
communication were slow and did not guarantee the delivery of
the accurate message or information. Therefore, with the
changes that came with the current generation, we have
technology that developed the mobile devices that are now
being used to communicate.
The effects of mobile devices are primarily positive, even
though some negativities come with it. When we look at the
impact of mobile devices, we see that people have
communicated efficiently. They have been able to deliver their
important messages on time with guaranteed accuracy. Mobile
devices have not only made communication easy but also
brought people together. The form in which these mobile
devices are made, for example, with cameras' introduction,
people can see each other using pictures and even video calls.
The adverse effects of mobile devices are that they are only
accessible to people who can afford them. The prices of these
mobile devices are unfavorable to people of the lower class.
Another effect is that mobile devices have made people lazy to
move from one place to another. For example, a person may
have a message for a person who is just near them, but they
decide to use mobile devices to communicate to them instead of
delivering the message one on one. The motive behind the
development of mobile devices was mainly communication.
Since history concerning past communication methods show
that there was no efficient communication, technology decided
to set up portable devices and be used to make communication
efficient.
Issues concerning mobile devices are privacy and security.
History pieces of evidence show that people in the past valued
confidentiality and safety as a part of their lives (Barth, et.al.

3. 2019). The technology of mobile devices has brought today
issues of privacy and security. Human beings' safety has been
minimized due to the design of these mobile devices to locate a
person's location. These devices can also be tracked and hacked,
which can expose a person's information that may be private.
Compared to the people from the past, there were no mobile
devices; therefore, such cases did not occur.
Humanities
The Humanities lens provides a view of different cultures,
experiences, and values. The humanities lens helps in viewing
these cultures and why the matter of the culture. Looking at
mobile devices through the humanities lens, we try to see how
they are made and what cultural aspects they represent. We also
try to look at the impact of these mobile devices on people's
culture. The humanities lens also helps us to adapt to the
changing world. Looking at mobile devices through humanity's
lenses, we try to look at how these mobile devices have
impacted human beings' actions (Mushroor, et.al. 2020). Mobile
devices have changed how human beings interact since now they
do not have to be in contact to facilitate communication. These
mobile devices have impacted the cultures of how people
connect. Due to these mobile devices, people have overlooked
essential cultures such as one-on-one contact and interactions.
These mobile devices have altered people's moral values so that
people use them to defile themselves. Through the pictures they
take and the videos they also take.
Issues of privacy and security in humanity lens focus on the
effects of human beings' security and privacy issues. Cyber -

4. attacks come with threats that have caused a lack of peace in
human beings (Chen & Li, 2017). Through hacking of these
mobile devices, enemies can access an individual's private
information and threaten their security if they do not provide
what they want. The life of humankind has been put to threats
by stalking when a person identifies an individual's location
they want to threaten. These mobile devices can also be set as a
tracking device that monitors all their activities which can be
dangerous to their lives. Human beings have also contributed to
their own safety and security because of using these mobile
devices to take pictures and videos and use social media to post
and tag their location. The mobile devices have
also impacted the security and privacy of people by
automatically enabling the location setting on these devices.

Analyzing Mobile Devices Under the Lens of Natural, Applied,
And Social Sciences
There is a combination of both caution and curiosity when it
comes to talking about mobile devices and the interaction
between the usability prospects and actuality to human
activities. As mentioned earlier, there is a versatile application
that is helpful and also provides a certain way of exposure that
hasn’t been seen throughout history. The advancement of
technology to be mobile is such a simple yet very impactful
manner that became a catalyst for the change in the way
interaction could be perceived. The mobility of communication
has not only provided accuracy in communication without
geographical inhibitions but it has also created an opportunity
for precise data collection and habits. This paper discusses an
analysis of the cell phone, as a representative mobile device,
through natural, applied, and social sciences. As such, the focus
of the discussion will be on the institutional impact by taking
into account the social constructs that heavily depend on mobile
devices.
In natural, applied, and social science, the interaction of mobile
devices is crosslinked in the most basics of ways. A good
example is considering the impact on astronomy. Should the
public understand astronomy and if so, why? This is a question
that brings to attention public interests and the evolution of this
field. Since man landing on the moon, there is has been a

6. growing interest in filming rocket launches or showing them on
TV for everyone in the world to participate in the realization of
man’s journey past the confines of Earth. This is relatable with
the shift from geographical barriers to virtual realities
especially in communicati ons which is brought on by mobile
phones.
a mark that has brought the idea of outer space much closer to
the intended audience creating an environment of conscious
information sharing in this field. Considered as miniature
devices, the mobile phone can house multiple apps that can be
used to track and follow key discussions, understanding of the
solar systems, and critical discoveries (Clark, 2015). The
popularity of “apps” transcends the idea of expertise by
simplistically explaining the sky using GPS, astronomical
clocks, image displays, and simulators that may seem futuristic
in their endeavor. However, by putting the information on an
easily accessible platform, the mobile devices create a channel
of communication that raises unique questions that lead to
deductive reasoning through informal “unscientific” questioning
of the validity of that information for the public.
Why should the public be interested in learning astronomy is a
question that has risen from the implication that astronomy,
away from the expert level is a strong social interest. As a
result, we have seen technological experts like Elon and NASA
finding different ways to ask whether there is a market niche for
the experiences to be given to the public. The result has been a
collaborative investment in improving the journey to space.
This opportunity is seen in partnerships like NASA and Tesla on
the Tesla Model X. According to Carter, 2020, the reusability of
SpaceX and the futuristic look of spacesuits is a commendable
effort of the merging of the new and the old that is very
interesting to the general public.
So, over the years, there is an increasing interest in getting the
public to directly participate in the observation of milestones in
this area. The blend of the old and new gives a new perspective
to the direction of change by promising that innovation across

7. the board will be more inclusive in modern steps. As such, there
is an open avenue insinuating that the public view of astronomy
as a subject is as much as a key interest in its development as
well as investment in the area. In consideration of this., apps
provide an avenue on which the showcasing of the experience
introduces a new way of participative thinking that always
raises the question of why and when. This is in some way
provides an active platform for weighing the milestones of
growth in the area.
The shift from actual TV watching and in-person participation
to experience through apps is certainly a very conscious
decision that has shifted mainly due to the mobility of devices
that makes accessibility of information in the sector easy and
quick to get. In recognition of this, there is an active growth
that sees a growing shift into active incorporation of Artificial
intelligence as a technology on the social front that imports the
aspect of usability traffic as integral in sophistication or
simplicity of the information. This is critical especially when it
comes to the responsibility attained in information acquisition
for improvement of the technology or to create efficiency in its
usage. Considering for example the GPS used in the apps for
astronomy. The user traffic is important as it gives the data and
metadata necessary to determine the algorithms if the difficulty
or simplicity of certain features. By understanding this, the
implementable aspect can be the features of the device.
One key area that this will be important is health, wellness, and
information technology. In health and wellness, the
improvement of GPS and multisectoral collaboration to improve
it can help in portable devices that can help with wearable
technology (Farmer & Tarassenko, 2015). The sensors being
able to track where a person is can be useful especially for
patients suffering from Alzheimer’s or other memory loss. The
capability becomes endless and a conscious management habit
cultivates with increasing need and effectiveness. This
interaction can be seen to improve the integration of these
processes to the day-to-day activities and thus completeness in

8. the way behavior and utilization are used.
Let’s consider another scene that takes into account the
information that is collected in the wearable devices. The birth
of information as theory is said to begin in the 1940s and
indication that communication as a tool is critical for the
growth of society. In the recent past, the issue amounting from
this is the dilemma of security versus privacy. The conception
of information requires that much of that information is
available for analysis (Currie & Galliers, 2011). As such, we
cannot isolate the idea that it is necessary to define the new
boundaries of social consciousness as a big factor in both
privacy, efficiency, effectiveness, and “implementability”.
Therefore, we recognize a shift in the regulatory frameworks
that change as a result of the gathering of this information
during usage of the growing technological advancements.
Therefore, in argument, when we consider the growth in one
area, there is a recognizable ripple effect across the board
through participatory investment through times and interest, and
actual investment through putting money and expertise. This
causes a shift in the behaviors of the public that the regulatory
frameworks resulting is systems that better accommodate the
changing environment. As a result, we see, a circular
relationship rotating around natural, applied, and social
sciences.

10. Technology is a more simple and popular term that people have
used to refer to the science of the application of techniques,
knowledge, skills, methods, and processes in the production of
goods and services. keenly examining technology an individual
would come to realize that technology is a complex term and
function that greatly affect every aspect of people's lives
throughout the world. for example, mobile technology is one
aspect of technology that has made a mark through history. The
introduction and integration of artificial intelligent into the
Mobile Devices Technology world which has revolutionized the
way we live. In the article, we will examine through the
historical, humanities, natural and applied science, and social
science lenses, how mobile devices has impacted the lives of
individuals and its impact on computing technology.
To better understand the impact of mobile devices on our lives,
it is imperative that we understand the beginning and the factors
that led to the invention of artificial intelligence technology.
The notion of fictional characters coming to life as intelligent
beings have been there for a lot longer. Artificial intelligence
can be traced back to when there were attempts to characterize
human thought as a symbolic system by classical philosophers.
However, the science of AI was not officially created until
1956, when the word "artificial intelligence" was invented at a
conference at Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire
(Lewis, 2014). Over the years, scientists have been struggling to
convince the government of the possibility of having an object
operating as intelligent beings, and through history, it is
reported that governments reduced or stopped funding the
project altogether citing non-viability. However, IBM company
through its Deep Blue computers became the first computer to
beat a human chess champion in 1977. Currently, as we speak,
artificial intelligence has been incorporated in mobile

11. technology and its impact is visible in the fact that mobile
phones can now be used in navigation, sensing and reporting, an
individual’s health and physical wellness.
On the humanity front, artificial intelligence technology has
been complimented for improving humanity. Mobile devices has
the potential to improve humans in everyday activities, resulting
in increased precision, reliability, and performance (Marr,
2020). Because of these advantages, many businesses have been
able to meet their financial objectives while employing fewer
people, which is also a threat since more people will continue
losing their sources of income. Artificial intelligence can
greatly enhance the productivity of our workplaces while also
augmenting the job that humans can do. When AI takes on
boring or risky jobs, it lets the human workers focus on tasks
that require imagination and compassion.
On the scientific front, mobile devices technology has greatl y
impacted knowledge generation and processes. Mobile devices
and artificial intelligence (AI) is currently being used in a wide
range of scientific areas. Consider the following scenario:
Predicting protein structures through genomic data: Recognising
the form of a protein is crucial to comprehend its role in the
body (Devashish, 2019). Lastly, Since AI-powered instruments
are not susceptible to the same prejudice as humans, they are
often helpful in scientific communication.
Mobile devices technology has also made a mark on the social
science front. It intelligence has been incorporated into social
media platforms and has greatly affected how they operate. For
example, Mobile devices is a central element of the popular
social media platforms we use daily. Facebook employs
sophisticated machine intelligence to serve individuals
information, recognize someone's face in images, and reach
users with advertisements.
