The History Of Cell Phones
The high tech, elaborate cell phones that many people use in the modern world are a far cry from the first mobile phones. Yet if it was not for these earlier versions of mobile communication devices, we would not have the option of cell phones and the many phone feature that we take for granted.
The development of talking on radio waves started with Reginald Fessenden, a Canadian inventor who began working with Thomas Edison in 1886. On December 23, 1900, Fessenden successively transmitted speech approximately 1.6 kilometers, the very first audio radio transmission. By December 21, 1906, the inventor successfully demonstrated his new alternator transmitter, showing its utility for point-to point wireless telephony. He also demonstrated his interconnection of his stations to the wire telephone network. Fessenden made the first two-way transatlantic radio transmission in this same year.
