9.1 Mobile Phones
Years ago, if you were away from your phone or office you had to look for a pay phone. For a dime, you could make a telephone call that lasted a few minutes. Pay phones were ubiquitous, with several often lined up in a row at heavily populated public places. Sometimes, there was an actual phone booth with a folding glass door that enabled people to make phone calls in relative privacy. The comic book hero Superman made these famous as the place he transformed from Clark Kent to the superhero. But today, the pay phone and the phone booth are little more than a memory. Now, calling from the road is as easy as reaching into your pocket.
Smartphones
One of the most significant new computing devices in the last few decades is the smartphone. During the 1990s, three major technological developments gained popularity. First, were cell phones and their service plans, which became much less expensive. By the end of the decade, almost everyone had one. Second, a new type of electronic device emerged at the same time called the PDA or Personal Digital Assistant. These small, handheld computers, initially sold by Palm and Visor, offered calendars, datebooks, organizational software, and gaming applications. Third, laptops were increasingly able to surf the Internet, provided their owners could locate a Wi-Fi hotspot. As email became more essential, laptops were often carried just to check email. By the end of the 1990s, businessmen and women were often lugging around all three devices to remain as productive as possible. Could all three merge into one?
This dream was realized in 2004, when the BlackBerry® smartphone was introduced for AT&T and T-Mobile cell service. A smartphone combined the features of a PDA with a cell phone and the ability to check email. It also served as a flash drive, media player for music and video, and picture viewer. And it added a QWERTY keyboard, with keys that were smaller but laid out in the same configuration as a standard computer keyboard. Soon, other competitors emerged and BlackBerry® quickly lost market share, most notably to the Apple® iPhone®, of which 6 million were sold in 2007, its first year on the market (http://www.statista.com/statistics/12743/worldwide-AppleiPhone-sales-since-3rd-quarter-2007/).
iPhone®
Apple®'s eagerly awaited iPhone® capitalized on the huge following it had established with its iPod® handheld music and video players and Macintosh® computers. Duplicating the same elegance and user-friendliness with its iPhone®, Apple® began to dominate the market, as its iPhone® App Store℠ enabled users to download applications that fit their own unique needs. TIME™ Magazine named it as the invention of the year in 2007. In 2009, the iPhone® 3.0 included a camera, 3G connection speeds, and voice control. At the same time, Apple® also improved the iPhone®'s GPS functionality. In 2012, the iPhone® 4S came in 16- to 64-GB memory options, with prices between .

FUTURE OF WIRELESS: Peek Inside future-tainment by Joyce Schwarz, media futur...
Wireless technology is enabling person-to-person communication anywhere at any time by connecting devices like phones and computers without wires. This allows information and entertainment to be accessed from various locations like homes, offices, schools and while traveling. As wireless connectivity improves and more devices are enabled, it will continue to change how people live, work and interact, blurring the boundaries between these areas of life.
The Wireless Evolution
If you find a being in the modern world that doesn’t own a mobile phone, get your camera ready. You probably just found a unicorn, an extraterrestrial or maybe even Bigfoot.
We weren’t always so connected. There was a time when stuff could wait. Stuff can’t wait anymore.
Parents didn’t think their children needed tracking devices. In the event of an emergency, pay phones were a great solution. If we wanted to stay in touch with friends and family or check our answering machine, waiting until we got home made complete sense. So, what happened and how did we arrive at this convergence of human and technological evolution?

The document discusses the re-release of the Nokia 3310 in 2017 at MWC Barcelona. The original 3310, released in 2000, was known for its durable design and long battery life. The new 3310 has updated features like a larger color screen, Bluetooth, and expanded storage via microSD card, while retaining the original's long battery life and classic "Snake" game. However, it lacks modern connectivity like WiFi and has dated specs compared to smartphones. The conclusion is that the new 3310 may appeal to those wanting a basic, affordable phone or as a nostalgic item, rather than competing directly with smartphones.

Digital jewellery ppt
Digital jewelry uses wireless technology to turn jewelry items like earrings, necklaces, rings, and bracelets into mobile devices. Researchers are developing jewelry that can unlock doors, log into computers, and make phone calls. For example, an experimental cell phone breaks the phone into digital jewelry pieces - earrings serve as speakers, a necklace holds the microphone, a ring flashes LEDs for calls, and a bracelet displays the caller ID. These wireless pieces would work together to perform the functions of a standard cell phone.
My Brain Hurts by Y&R
