Who Invented The Mobile Phone First Cell Phone Call.pdfRobert Smith
Mobile technology has changed the way we do business, communications,
internet, promote your business than by using your cell phone as a marketing
tool. On the whole, phone is transforming technology, and you may be one of
the people who benefited by using it. From your phones to your car stereos,
getting a phone can be a major disruption in the way you do things.
Mobile Phones market is declining according to many reports. Mobiles may
not be as popular as they once were, but they are still a very important part of
our daily lives. Whether it is in the form of a smartphone or a tablet, mobile
phones are always there, always useful and are still incredibly popular.
What happened in the past may be completely different from the way it will be
from now, but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t any lessons to be learned.
Almost everyone knows who is credited with patenting the first practical
telephone inventor Alexander Graham Bell but in this article, we are going to
learn about the history of mobiles, evaluation of cell phones and hidden
characters who are given their important contribution to the mobile phones
world and make it possible to speak from anywhere and helps to become the
phones to smartphones nowadays.
1. Reginald Fessenden
Reginald Aubrey Fessenden (born 6 October 1866, East Bolton, Canada East
– died 22 July 1932, Hamilton, Bermuda) was an Electrical Engineer and a
founder who performed a miracle: He made the first wireless telephone
device. He was the first to transmit a human voice over the radio a length of
1.6 km (one mile) for the early moment using amplitude modulation. His
message was:
“Hello. One, two, three, four. Is it snowing where you are, Mr. Thiessen?
If it is telegraph back and let me know.”
The sound was low quality, but this nonetheless was an amazing scientific
achievement, sending messages from one radio tower to another in year
1900. His also the first transatlantic transmission in 1906, the first broadcast of
entertainment, and in year 1906.
Fessenden also found out another important finding, an electrolytic detector
device, which he approved as a “barretter detector” in 1903. The electrolytic
detector improved sound reception over radio waves. Fessenden radio
receivers were common in the early years of radio.
Fessenden was a gifted student. He attended several schools in his youth. He
left military school at the age of 14 to work in a bank because he was too
young to go to college. He later taught mathematics at Bishop’s College
School while conducting high school textbook classes. Fessenden also
studied natural science and won a scholarship to Bishop’s College. However,
he quit school at the age of 18 to graduate to become a principal at the
Whitney Institute in Bermuda. It was in Bermuda that Fessenden met and later
married Helen May Trott.
He is also know as Canadian radio pioneer who on Christmas Eve in 1906
broadcast the first music program and voice that had been broadcast in
remote areas.
2. Martin Cooper
The history of technology has many lessons on how technology trends evolve over time. Discoveries create opportunities for practical solutions. The foundation for electronic communication as we know today was laid in the 19th century. From 1820 to the turn of the century, innovators made experiments and discoveries.
Morse’s telegraph made Western Union big and powerful. The telegraph proved to be a disruptive technology that changed how wars were fought and how businesses were run. However, the telephone would also prove to be disruptive and destroyed the telegraph business.
At the dawn of the 20th century many believed that there was a market for wireless communication. One was Guglielmo Marconi, who set out to commercialize the technology. Marconi and others created a new market for communication

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
