The Connected world (First Episode - Mobile Phones)

2007-12-12T12:04:00.001-08:00

As i said already said before i am going to start The Connected World series today by talking about mobile phones hope you enjoy it have fun

Start of Mobile Phones(Cell phones)

In December 1947, Douglas H. Ring and W. Rae Young , Bell Labs engineers propsed the idea of

cell phones by introducing the idead of transimiting towers but Cellular technology was undeveloped until the 1960s, when Richard H. Frenkiel and Joel S. Engel of Bell Labs developed the electronics.

On April 3, 1973, Motorola employee Dr. Martin Cooper placed a call to rival Joel Engel, head of research at AT&T's Bell Labs, while walking the streets of New York City talking on the first Motorola DynaTAC prototype

In 1978, Bell Labs launched a trial of first commercial cellular network in Chicago then came the first handheld device in 1983 which was Motorola DynaTAC 8000X

in 1946 was the first real radio telephony network 0G later in the begining of the 1980s with the launch of the first mobile phones network several generations were introduced 1G , 2G , 3G and the prereleased 4G

How do mobile phone works?

The SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card holds a microchip and slips into the handset allowing you access to a mobile phone network. This network is made up of a series of base stations that send signals used by mobile phones. The area covered by each of these base stations is called a cell and cells overlap to make up a coverage area.
Whenever you switch a mobile phone on it will connect to the nearest base station. As you move around you may get closer to another base station in another cell. When this happens, the network will automatically switch your phone to the other base station.
If the base station that your phone is switched to is already working to its full capacity it cannot take in your signal. If this happens you may get a drop out and your phone will not work in that area. Dropped calls can also happen when you are in an area where cells do not overlap.

Mobile Generations

0G which was the first commerical radio telephony network introduced by motorolla and bell labs this network were used by car phones , taxis and police cars not that these networks didn't need an real operator as now as they were all operated as normal phones

1G was the analog way of transimting in the 1980s which meant that a network is divided into many transmiting towers with automated protocols to automaticlly transfer the user from a cell to another when he moves out of the bounds of the transmiter he using

2G , 2.5G and 2.75 (Most widely used) was introduced to the field in USA in 1990 preceded by the first GSM network in Finland the second Generation networks was unlike their older cousins 0G and 1G networks they were fully digital and needed an operator and now its used by most of the mobile phones and it contains many types(Speeds) one of the most successful one was the GPRS 2.5G then the latest and most used one is EDGE(unofficall 2.75G) which is technically under the care of the 3G.

3G (Dream comes true!) not longer after the development of 2G networks 3G networks were introuduced these 3G networks starting from 384 kbps(Kilo bit per second) - later added to 3G the lower 236 kbps Edge - are the real dream of the human being as it added the ablitiy to fast streaming of audo and video which was later used ing video streaming , video calls and the incredible internet speed although EDGE had acheived the fast data transfer need so direct video streaming and fast internet were possibole it failed to satisfy the real known video call issue so 3G networks were the first real solution for this problem but unfortounately most 3G networks crash alot since still unstable.

At Last all i want to say that mobile phones have been a friend of the human being since its first view in 1946 in car models and now in its Micro size compared to older mobile phones and despite of their dangerous radiations they are on of the great achievment in the communication field.

I'm back now to my beloved blog as i was busy for a while but am back with an idea that flashed in my mind suddenly while studing chimstery!!! , I don't know how it showed up in my mind but i think its great and that i must share it with you.

If you cycle back time not thousand of years just 100 or 200 years back then having a carefull look and making a little comparison in your mind between elders life and yours now , you'll discover how great differences had shown up.

The most difference affected our life was the revloutionry development in the communication topic which later lead to the globalization , However despite of the great of usage of communitcation ways even without our notice most of us never knew anything about it and thats what flashed in my mind so i googled this topic and came up with alot of results - which i would like to share with you - was about Phones , internet , mobile phones , satallites , ...etc which am going to cover in my articles

Since these information i got was too much i had to divide it into parts hope you enjoy it and have fun check out my blog every Wednesday to find more about the world you are living in

Build your own games!!

2007-08-24T15:09:00.001-07:00

Since the revolution of computer industry, Game programming has taken a great place in the

market of computer software resulting in very high benifits that made some companies threw

all other programming branches away and to start specializing in game programming and just

develope games like Electronic arts , THQ , Rockstar , Konami , etc... Of course games developed

faster than any other type of software moreover helping libraries were sooner added like

DirectX , OpenGL and other frameworks. even more the game types number maddly increased

as we can see now there are strategy games , simulation , sports , online games with its types

and other types certainly.

At the begining of games revolution there were many mistakes that old developers couldn't

solve like graphics realism , collision detection , physics simulation and even more that made

some games -with great content- to get in the games archive and never see the light.

Later game developers realised their mistakes and created well-simulated and

sucessifull games like Dave , PacMan.

In the latest of the 20th century more advanced games were created like Fifa , Need For

Speed , The Sims , GTA , etc... in 2002 Microsoft and nVidia decided to make a new Revolution

in the graphics world by introducing shader models which i think most of people doesn't know

so they rate the graphics card with just its memory but they are completly wrong. Shader

models added the missing realism to games to make it support real lighting , shadows

, glasses nearly everything you need to create a nice scene.Later there were version of DirectX

for hobbyists but it still needed a great programming experince till in 2004 Microsoft started a

very secret project called XNA.

XNA

Thats what i was introducing for!. XNA is not an abreviated word its just "XNA". XNA is

the new way to program games for Windows and Xbox platforms not just that!. Microsoft

introduced it in a separate express studio called "XNA Game studio express" for anybody

wants to make his game even without programming experience at all! , you can just read the

documentation and you'll be allright. so now you can build your own games (see the links below)

have fun ;) , leave your comments and am welcoming any questions.

Music is ...

2007-08-24T15:09:00.000-07:00

Everyone likes music , maybe because as musicians say that music have a

"Magical Effect", Dunno maybe thats true , However everyone have his

own and unique playlist that shakes his body when he listens to it , creating a

view full of good dreams.

Sometimes you hear some music and shakes your body too! but it got a negative effect

causing a full view of... , Anyway thats what i wander about is music really is like a

magician wand or its just something like other entertainment ways?.

I hope that you share your opinions with me and tell me about your opinioin in music maybe i

find the answer to my question.

2007-08-24T06:12:00.000-07:00
