Please ensure your seat backs and tray tables are in the upright and locked position and turn off any handheld electronic devices!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wait a minute what I mean I understand why I had to check my paintball gun but it's my tiny little iPhone really gonna bring down a Boeing 787 does it really matter if I'm watching the an excellent recent tech quickie episode about fax machines as the plane rolls down the tarmac well to answer this question we need a little bit of history the United States Federal Communication Commission or FCC you know the same group of folks at the center of every debate over net neutrality banned phone calls on planes way back in 1991 when the privileged few that had cell phones were carrying around things that looked like this this rule was passed over concerns that the radio waves emitted from a cell phone could interfere with more important radio transmissions such as communications between air traffic control and pilots so that your plane ca...

How Bluetooth Works

Image
I’m using Bluetooth to play music from my phone through my car speakers. My, how the times have changed. So, how does it all work? My wireless speakers, earphones, hands-free calling – what’s the magic behind Bluetooth tech? The idea of what we call “Bluetooth” today was first introduced back in 1989. Dr. Nils Rydbeck, who was the chief technology officer at Ericsson Mobile, and inventor Dr. Johan Ullman had this revolutionary idea to develop a pair of wireless headsets. Because, well, let’s be honest, cords and wires are annoying! It was a major undertaking, so they brought Dr. Jaap Haartsen on to the project. A mere 5 years later, he’d be the engineer who made the breakthrough and came out with the first protocol. It took a few more years to perfect the technology. But finally in 1999, they presented their first hands-free headset to the world at the Comdex computer exposition and trade show in Las Vegas. It even won the Best of Sh...

5G internet. We've been talking about it for a while and now it's finally starting to arrive. It's a revolutionary kind of internet that promises to change everything from your phone, to home internet, to more futuristic fields like self-driving cars and even remote surgery, but 5G's also been in the headlines lately for a lot of bad reasons with bizarre conspiracy theories and rumours. So, to help clear things up, we're gonna explain to you, what exactly 5G is, how we got here, what the technology behind it is, and any real concerns that might exist around the new technology. So, what is 5G? Well, 5G or fifth generation, is the next step in mobile internet technology. It's what all of the next wave of phones and tablets are gonna use for speeds that are even faster than the LTE networks that we already have. Now, a news editor and reviewer, Chris Welch, has actually been testing all these networks for awhile already, so he can actually tell you what it...

How Are MobilePhones made

I've been talking about gadgets intact with a focus on smartphones and yet I've never seen the other side of it until today we will talk about the production facility for the one plus six I've never seen how these things are manufactured and I have all new appreciation for the process involved I never got to see everything from start to finish it's not just a fabrication process it's also a quality process people are checking to make sure that the components are as expected and functioning properly a lot of these tasks that people are doing are then being checked again immediately by the individual standing beside them and this is necessary to make sure that your things don't slip through the cracks.                                                               So that you don't end up with the device that's not functioning...
