The Mobile Phone!

In 1946 the first mobile phone was created. In Sweden, police used this phone. this phone was like a two-way radio but, had to be connected to the cars radio to work. This phone could only take 6 calls before draining the cars battery.

By 1967 mobile phones technology allowed the caller to stay within a very little calling area, since mobile base stations were unable to give calls from one area to the other.

In 1983, Motorola invented the first real mobile phone: the DynaTAC 8000X. It weighed almost 907.185g. It was nicknamed the "brick" because of its length of 33.02cm and cost $4,000. Its battery allowed for one hour of talk time and could store 30 numbers.

Mobile phones from the early 1990s on are considered second generation. The 1990s models are considered second generation because they were able to work on TDMA and CDMA systems in the U.S. and Europe, they used digital circuit switched transmission technology.

The first 3G networks were introduced in 1998 and fourth generation "4G” networks in 2008.

Ethical, Social and legal aspects.

Ethical = Now many people use their mobile phones whilst driving on motorway's and busy intersections this is illegal and could lead to a £90 fine, this could also be very dangerous!

Social = a lot of people become very anti social and start to lose friends, and also slow down on work at school or the work place.

Legal = Downloading software illegally is terrible and the are even worse offences to be looked at. One of the things that is now illegal is revenge porn this is where someone that you were in a relationship and you sent them inappropriate things the they put this on the web they could get up to two years in prison!
