Information technology and the emergence of mobile communication and its evoluti

on
The appearance of the phone God precisely on April 3, 1973, by the hand of Marti
n Cooper, who is considered the father of the phone, it was he who made the firs
t call from a public phone. This historic event occurred in New York, at the cor
ner of 56th Avenue with Lexigton before the astonishment of passers-anything use
d to seeing someone walking phone on hand in the street. The equipment used by C
ooper, was the Motorola DynaTAC 8000X was the ancestor of current mobile phones.
Its dimensions were monstrous compared to current mobile phone, its weight was m
ore than a pound, measuring about 25 cm high by 3.8 wide and 7.6 thick.
1G Motorola DynaTAC 8000X, hit the market in 1984, and was the first mobile phon
e sold worldwide. It was a phone analog first generation (1G) and was equipped o
nly with AMPS (Advanced Mobile Phone English System) that allowed only make and
receive calls, but of poor quality with lots of interference. 2G In the late 80s
, comes the second generation mobiles (2G), equipped with GSM (Global System for
Mobile) which has played an important role, allowing the improvement of mobile
and starting to have more quality in communications. Regarding the features come
with international roaming (possibly from a phone to make and receive calls in
a foreign country), and also SMS (short text messages).
2.5 G 2.5 G is the second generation and a half of standards and technologies fo
r mobile phones. It is considered a transitional step between 2G and 3G technolo
gies, although the term "2.5 G" has been defined by the media, and not officiall
y by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). The 2.5G to 2G has higher
speeds and through technology packages, enables access to the internet more effi
cient and flexible. It uses technologies such as GPRS (General Packet Radio Serv
ice), EDGE (Enhanced Data for GSM Evolution), 1XRTT (CDMA2000 migration first st
ep) and HSCSD (High Speed Circuit Switched Data). EDGE (also known as 2.75 G) is
a higher bandwidth version of GPRS (and why many call it the E-GPRS), and allow
s speeds up to 384 Kbps.
The emergence of 3G third generation mobile (3G) in Europe began in 2003, and th
eir appearance has spurred innovations like never before imagined, take pictures
, shoot, write reminders, playing and listening to music, but not so in recent y
ears, especially in Japan and Europe, has gained amazing resources previously un
available to handheld devices, software configured. as GPS, video calls ranging
from emails to read and installation of varied use, which
remotely any computer, when properly
