This document discusses the history and evolution of mobile phone technology from the 1940s to present day. It outlines the development of 1G analog phones in the 1980s, improvements to 2G digital technology in the 1990s, the introduction of 3G technology capable of data transfer in the 2000s, and goals for 4G technology. The document also explores how mobile devices have improved connectivity with family, friends, work and enabled new applications like GPS, banking, media, and more, fundamentally changing how people communicate and access information.

2. So what all has changed since

3. Before we begin a few facts:
• Mobile phones have been around for several decades in some form or another. Beginning in the late
1940s, this cell technology was first used in mobile rigs which was mainly used in taxis, police cars and other
emergency vehicles and situations.The first mobile phones, referred to as First Generation or 1G, were
introduced to the public market in 1983 by the Motorola Company.These first mobile phones used analog
technology which was much less reliable than the digital technology we use today.
• During the 1990s, great improvements were made in the mobile phone technology.These phones used
Second Generation, or 2G technology.The Second Generation cellular phone technology was faster and
much quieter than its analog predecessor
• TheThird Generation technology, or 3G, is what many people currently use in their digital cellular phones
today.This technology was created very soon after the excitement that the 2G technology created.This
new technology is not only capable of transferring voice data (such as a phone call), but it is also able to
transfer other types of data, including emails, information and instant messages.
• FourthGeneration – 4G – technology. Goals for this new set of standards include a combination of
technologies that will make information transfer and internet capabilities faster and more affordable for
cellular phones.
• Even though it started a little more than 20 years ago, manufacturers have created an abundance of new
technologies that keep cell phone users coming back for more.They continue to increase the number of
capabilities and services to accommodate the growing needs of today’s “on the go” culture.Waiting
anxiously is the only way to find out what they will think of next.
