History
• An accurate prediction was presented by Arthur C. Clarke in 1959 essay, He wrote: "the time will come when we will be able to call a person anywhere on Earth merely by dialing a number."
• First handheld mobile phone was demonstrated by Motorola in 1973.
• 2G tech. launched in 1991 in Finland

Benifits
• Mini PC• Enhance your
business• Transfer of data• Entertainment• Stay connected
anytime anywhere
Uses

Text Messaging
• The most commonly used application.• The first sms text message was sent from a
computer to a mobile phone in 1992 in the U.K.
• The first person-to-person sms from phone to phone was sent in Finland in 1993.
Sim Card

• The SIM card allows user to change phones by simply removing the card & inserting it into another mobile phone.
• It is usually placed underneath the battery in the rear of the unit.
Manufacturers
• Prior to 2010 , Nokia was the market leader.
• In 2012, based on stratergy analytics, Samsung supressed Nokia, selling 93.3 million units.
Manufacturers
• The top five worldwide mobile phone vendors are
• 1) Samsung• 2) Nokia• 3) Apple• 4) LG• 5) ZTE
Mobile Banking & Payments
• In many countries, mobile phones are used to provide mobile banking service.
• This includes the ability to transfer cash payments by secure SMS text messages.
• Cash may be deposited or withdrawn from M-PESA accounts at retail outlets located throught the country.
Tracking & Privacy
• Mobile phones are also commonly used to collect location data.
• The geographic location of a mobile phone can be determined easily by a tech. known as “multilateration” to calculate the diff. in time for a signal to travel from the cell phone to each of several cell towers near the owner of the phone.
• The movements of a user can be tracked by their service provider.
Future Evolution
• 5G is a tech. used in research papers and projects to denote the next major phase of mobile telecommunication standards beyond the 4G standards.
• 5G is not officially used for any specification or official document yet made public by telecommuinication companies or standardization bodies such as 3G.
Environmental Impact
• Studies have shown that around 40-50% of the environmental impact occures during the manufacturing of the printed wiring boards & IC’s.
• The average user replaces their phone every 11 to 18 months.
• The discarded phones then contribute to electronic waste.
Conflict Minerals
• Demand for metals found in mobile phone is fuelling the Congo Civil War.
• The war claimed almost 5.5 million lives.
• For the last 15 years, the Democratic Republic of the Congo has been a major source of natural resources for the mobile phone industry.
Conflict Minerals
• In a 2012 news story the Guardian reported , “In unsafe mines deep underground in eastern Congo. children's are working to extract minerals essential for the electronic industry. The profits from the bloodiest conflict since the second world war”.
• Fair phone is an attempt to develop a mobile phone which does not contains conflict minerals
