NAME:
MAYBE YOU HAVE NOT THINKING ABOUT IT YET, BUT HAVE YOU IMAGINED THAT THE CELL PHONE EXISTS FOR A LONG TIME? YOU JUST WATCH A REPLAY OF A TV NOVEL FROM TWO DECADES AGO, AND YOU WILL FAST UNDERSTAND MANY SITUATIONS THAT ARE VERY DIFFERENT FROM THOSE FOUND IN CURRENT DAYS, THANKS TO THE MOBILE PHONE. PEOPLE WENT OUT FOR THEIR COMMITMENTS AND IT WAS ONLY POSSIBLE TO CONTACT THEM WHEN THEY ARRIVED AT THEIR DESTINATIONS. THAT COUNTING THAT WHERE THEY WERE, THERE WAS A “LANDLINE” PHONE AVAILABLE. THE FACT IS THAT DURING THE COMMUNICATION, WHETHER IT WAS NEAR OR FAR, PEOPLE WERE INCOMMUNICABLE.
THIS LITTLE BOX THAT PEOPLE USED TO TAKE INSIDE THEIR BAGS, POCKETS OR HANGED ON THE NECK, HAS CAUSED A BIG CHANGE IN OUR SOCIETY. BEFORE, THE TELEPHONE WAS LIMITED TO MAKING AND RECEIVING CALLS. TODAY, SEVERAL RESOURCES ARE USED: TORPEDOS, E-MAILS, PHOTOS, VIDEOS, GAMES AND OTHERS. EVERYTHING HAS CHANGED VERY FAST AND WILL SURELY CHANGE MUCH MORE.
JUST IMAGINE THAT THE FIRST DEMONSTRATION OF A PORTABLE DISTANCE COMMUNICATION DEVICE WAS MADE IN NEW YORK IN 1973 BY ENGINEER MARTIN COOPER. THE APPLIANCE HE USED WAS NEARLY A KILO, AND AVERAGED 25 CENTIMETERS. THE BATTERY TAKES 10 HOURS TO RECHARGE AND WAS ONLY 20 MINUTES. IT COST 4 THOUSAND DOLLARS. AND THE SURNAME WAS PERFECT: “BRICK”.
IN BRAZIL THE FIRST CELL PHONE CALL WAS MADE IN THE CITY OF RIO DE JANEIRO IN DECEMBER 1990. THE APPLIANCE COST ONE FORTUNE AND THE BILL ANOTHER.
