      Just when you thought Kayne West would just keep his mouth shut, he steps up and makes a fool out of himself once again. While country music star Taylor Swift was receiving her VMA award for “best video of the year” Kayne West took it upon himself to grab the microphone from America’s sweetheart saying that in his opinion Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time! Kayne’s utter lack of respect has shocked the nation, turning the rap sensation into just another over publicized fool. Locally, WRAL wrote on this event, entitling the story ‘Kanye West outburst rains on Swift's MTV parade’. Following the introduction that gives a quick snapshot of what occurred the article highlights that after Swift was rudely cut off Beyonce stepped on stage and gave Swift the chance to finish her speech. The article captures the crowd’s reaction calling them unforgiving. “When Diddy read his name later in the show while introducing the nominees for best male video, the crowd booed…The crowd responded by chanting Swift's name (Moody 2009).

        On a national level, MSNBC tackles the story entitling the article “Kanye’s comments bring chaos to VMAs. Crowd boos rapper when he disses Taylor Swift after best female video win. The title says it all, how Kayne acted and even the crowd’s response. The article even features a photo of West grabbing the Mic out of a downhearted looking Swift. The approach leaves readers wondering, ‘What did West say to Swift and why?’ The article takes on a different approach from the latter beginning with a quote from Taylor Swift and how she was feeling during the VMA outburst. “I was standing on the stage and I was really excited because I had just won the award,” Swift said after Sunday’s show at Radio City Music Hall. “And then I was really excited because Kanye West was on the stage. And then I wasn’t so excited anymore after that (Swift).” Such a quote shows how humiliating it was for Swift. West is a very popular musician who Swift had most likely admired before the ordeal. The article attempts to discredit West through innovating pathos within the reader.  Akin to the previous article, the story points to West’s need for attention saying “As he had numerous times before, West made sure an awards show spotlight shone on him.

    

  Of course the story was newsworthy; it was the VMA’s. Even BBC reported on Kayne’s behavior. The BBC focused more on the after math of Kayne’s behavior but one online article from the BBC included an online clip of the VMA event. The article highlights that West interrupted and announced that Beyonce had one of the best videos and that West has since then apologized. Until now, I hadn’t even seen the infamous VMA showdown. The clip shows Taylor’s reaction, standing there, head down and in shock. The clip even shows Beyonce as she hears West praise her video over Swifts. Beyonce looks mortified and later gets on stage to accept her award and politely gives the MIC back to Swift to finish her speech. I guess it goes to show, ‘Seeing is Believing.’ And when you actually see the clip it leaves you wondering, ‘Why in the world does ANYONE even like West?’ Well like his song says, ‘he’s got a big ego,’ well Kayne we are tired of you and your big ego.       The station I worked for even reported on the event the world still seems to be buzzing about. The showgram chatted about Kayne’s antics during the VMA’s.  The showgram followed suit with others, poking fun of Kayne and asking the question everyone wants to know, why did Kayne do this? The question only seems to have one answer. Kayne West is an egotistical narcissist. The media stories have one thing in common; they want to hear from Taylor Swift. The media feeds off drama and showing the world a sweet and forgiving young star being humiliated by a disrespectful tacky rapper gets people talking. 

   And of course Enews slammed West. The host starts out by asking the world why a grown man would take the MIC from a teenage girl receiving her first major award. The media is biased in the fact that they present West in a negative light. I haven’t read one article yet that portrays West’s antics in a positive light, but who would think what he did was right or even begin to defend him? Well, maybe the clinically insane. E shows a clip of an embarrassed Swift followed by Beyonce’s gratuitous gesture and an interview with Swift after the show. The clip, akin to the MSNBC article, includes Taylor saying how excited she was that she had won and that Kayne was on the stage, and how she wasn’t so excited after he decided to speak. E continues, showing an apology issued by West in which he said, “I’m not crazy at all, I’m just real (West 2009).” And just when you think it’s over another apologize appears in which West compares himself to Ben Stiller in ‘Meet the Parents’ in that he messed up everything and is truly sorry. Good job Kayne West, we are all so happy you publicist was able to re-write your original pathetic apologize for you!

In the reading for this week, author Tom Farley gives us a brief history of mobile telephones and how they developed into what we know as mobile phone technology today.  Like the Internet, the history of mobile phones began out of the impact of the US military as the post-World War II era called for a need for civilian communication.  Since the United States maintained its strong infrastructure during the war, had great public demand for mobile phone technology, and had the resources to develop the technology with Bell Telephone Labs, the pieces were in place for the development of the project.  Primitive models and two-way radios came about in the 1940's and 50's, and by the end of the 1960's, the first commercial cellular radio system was set up and pay phone served as the first cell phones.  Analog cellular systems emerged about 10 years later, followed by the large, clunky mobile phones we laugh about today from the 80's.  Of course it was only a matter of time before the technology blossomed into what we know and use today in terms of mobile technology and cell phones.

 I find this article interesting because of the way society is so reliable on the use of cell phones.  I feel like you can easily feel generation gaps with the use of cell phones among different ages.  For example, when I was in high school I stuck very close to my cell phone, using it to coordinate plans and meeting places with friends.  I always had it by my side and I knew I could always be reached because all you had to do was call me to find me.  However, my mom didn't understand this as much as I did, and still always had me map out my night's plan with her before I went out.  I tried to explain that plans change and I didn't want her to think I was doing something if my friends and I decided to do something else, but that she could always just call me to find out where I was.  This never quite sunk in with her, but she's gotten much more used to the function of cell phones as my younger brother is going through the same thing now.  She's learning to text message, use her phone for other functions like an alarm clock and calculator, and the generation gap is shrinking in that aspect.  It will be interesting to see the way my generation, having grown up with cell phones almost as an extension of one's own hand, and how we treat our children and use cell phones as a mode of communication. 

Tom
Farley’s article details the impact mobile technologies, especially mobile
telephones play a crucial role in our society. Although mobile form of cellular
technology had been relatively under the radar (commercial mobile telephony was
first introduced around 1946 and 1947 marked the first year during which the
cellular-radio concept was utilized) mobile phones finally made their way to
the main base of consumers around 1995. Their transition to the public market
was fluid due to the low price, possible world-wide usage and the phones’ large
amount of possible features. Cell phones originally ran under an analog program,
but thanks to developments from GSM and CDMA, enabled users and providers are
now able to access a digital network that offers unlimited and reliable service
to all customers. Different countries dealt with multiple issues such as the
availability of service within the spectrum, limitations from cellular hardware
and governmentally-implemented regulations. It was for these reasons that the
American, Japanese, Scandinavian cellular groups decided to go about
establishing their own independently owned and operated radio-telephone
solutions. Presently, the mobile phone industry has faced many challenges, but
has evolved into a realm of communicative technology that our society couldn’t
fathom functioning without.

As
Farley described the evolution of the mobile phone, I couldn’t help but be
reminded of my own transition through the cellular communication devices. In
the seventh grade, I received my first cell phone, which was heavy and very
substantial to talk to my parents and to use in emergency situations. This
phone functioned under the analog system and was somewhat difficult to operate.
The next phone that I became familiar with was also in the analog format, but
featured newer advancements, such as a color screen, easier operations for
dialing and was more user-friendly. These phones made the process of getting in
touch with family and friends easier than before, as they functioned as a
distance-reducing form for technology. As I progressed through the levels of
cellular mobility, each phone became more and more integral to my daily life,
and the phone’s capabilities increased as well. My current blackberry performs at
such an elevated level of operation that I am often confused- an issue I never
thought I would have faced back in the seventh grade with my Nokia brick. As
mobile technologies further develop, I project that they will serve to further
define our methods of communication and make normal communicative behaviors
simpler than ever before.

This week's reading describes the mobile phone's growth. It began with radio in the 30s and 40s and lead up to the early nineties through to what we have now with 3G. It all really began with AT&T and Southwestern Bell in 1946 with what was actually a mobile radio-phone. Cellular technology wasnt commercial until 1978 and It wasnt until the eighties that cellular phones became more practical. They were big, bulky and heavy. In 1978 a company emerged called the Bahrain Telephone Company. This was a service that had only 250 subscribers. Now there are well over a billion. GSM has lead to what mobile phone technology is today.

I found the article particularly interesting becasue the dependance that we have on our cellphones today is amazing. Even thinking about not having a cell phone at at least a few times a day would be basically incomprehensible to most. Think about having to pull off a highway to use a pay phone to contact someone. Right. And further more, tracking technologies are also amazing in that we all have them imbedded in our phones and therefore imbedded, theoretically in our person. Any one may know where you are at. Frightening, but we still rely on cell phones in daily life. 

This week's reading by Tom Farley discusses the history and evolution of the mobile phone. Farley defines the mobile telephone as a wireless device that connects to the public switched telephone network and is offered to the general public by a common carrier. The history behind mobile telephones derives all the way from WWII. America was a leading pioneer for the development of the mobile telephone because we were one of the few countries that were physically intact after the war. The United States also had a surplus of radio engineers and scientists to use on research for mobile phone technology. The first American commercial mobile radio-telephone service began on June 17, 1946 by AT&T. The first actual Nationwide mobile telephone service wasn't created until 1949 by the Netherlands. An important discovery was found in 1958 by Jack Kilby who invented the integrated circuit and explained how diodes, capacities, vesistors, and transistors could exist on the same block. Another breakthrough in the mobile telephone world came in 1964 when the Bell System introduced the IMTS (Improved Mobile Telephone Service). The IMTS permitted direct dialing, automatic channel selection, and reduced bandwidth. Tom Farley, goes on to talk about the rise of GSM in Europe and the impact of the IS-54 digital service in the 1990's.
I thought this was a very informative article about the history and evolution of mobile telephones. It taught me a lot that I didn't know like how the history of the mobile phone dates all the way back to the 1930's and in WWII. This article made me realize the importance and dependency our country has on mobile phones. Our society relies heavily on the use of mobile telephones in everyday life.

This article discusses the history of mobile telephones beginning with two way radios used in the 1930s. Then, in 1946, the first mobile radio-telephone service was introduced by AT&T and Southwestern Bell. By the 1960s, the cellular radio idea was well known among telecommunication companies and manufacturers.  The first time a cellular radio that used frequency reuse in a small zone system was in 1969 on public payphones.

Throughout the 70s and 80s portable telephones were bulky and inconvenient compared to what we use today. They were the size of a briefcase. Next, the first handheld cell phone was introduced in 1983, the Dyna-TAC. This phone was handheld, but it still was much larger that the pocket-sized phones that are popular now. In 1990, trailing behind European countries America began using a digital standard. In the mid 1990s, the number of wireless channels and carriers increased and blackberries offered email capabilities. Also, between 1990 and 2000 the size of cell phones shrank drastically. In 2000, the first camera phone was made.

Many developments in the world of mobile technology have made cell phones, in a sense, a part of our wardrobe. I recall times when I've not been able to find my cell phone saying, "I feel naked without it!" Also, I know a large number of people who no longer wear a watch, and I hear them say, "Oh, I have my cell phone" or "my cell phone is my watch." I have to admit; I'm guilty of the cell phone-watch syndrone as well... Now that phones offer so many applications such as; messaging, internet access, camera, alarm, planner, games, etc. the number of reasons for us to carry it on our body at all times is also growing.

Cell phones combine different types of new media in one small device. On my cell phone, which weighs only 3.6 oz, I can send emails, browse the internet and dowload music. I am interested to how the relationship between cell phones and laptops evolve; considering that cell phones already are becoming more capable of completing the tasks that laptops are used for today.

In the read on mobile technologies the author discusses the creation of the cell phone and its movement from “a dormant technology” to “perhaps the most important communication tool of our lives.  Bell Labs conceived the first cell phone in 1947.  At this time all the technology was known to create a full cellular phone system, and the creators “had faith that the means for administering and connecting to many small cells would evolve by the time they were needed.”  The first commercial cellular radio was not introduced until 1969.  They were first tested on a train running between Washington DC and New York City.  The passengers found that” they could make telephone calls while moving at more than 160 kilometers per hours.”  A break through in cellular technology came in 1978 when Bahrain Telephone Company began operating the first commercial cellular telephone system with 20 channels and 250 subscribers.  Unlike the United State, Europe did not have a set landline system and therefore created a cellular phone system unlike the Unite States.  They called it the GSM or Groupe Speciale Mobile and it was a fully digital radio band.  Through the nineties there were many advancement to the GSM technology which made cell phones what they are today.
    Americans have always been ahead of other countries in the world of technology.  We created the Internet, the phone, the radio, and television.  Even though we are an innovative group, it is not until our technology makes it to other countries that they technologies fully come alive.  European designers created the all-digital cell phone system, which is similar to the creation of the World Wide Web by the Swiss.  Without the World Wide Web, the Internet would not be what it is today, and it was only by distributing our technology to other places.  This is to say that without the unity of all countries no innovation can live up to its potential.  Without all counties and different groups of people working together on a project, it cannot be the best that it can be.  

In the article Mobile Telephone history by Tom Farley, he looks at the evolution and development of the mobile phone from the 1940's to what we see today. The article defines a Mobile Telephone as a wireless device which connects to the public switched telephone network as is offered to the general public by a common carrier or public utility. Following WWII the U.S led the development of the mobile phone, they led the movement because the country was still intact following the war, consumer demand and available scientists and engineers to work on the project. The projects in the U.S stalled many times however and it was actually the Netherlands that in 1949 established the first nationwide mobile telephone service. In June of 1946 AT&T along with Southwestern Bell began operating MTS or Mobile telephone service. MTS used 6 channels in the 150 MHZ band with 60 KHZ wide channel spacing. In July 1958 Jack Kilby invented the integrated circuit and it showed how vesistors, capacities, diodes and transistors could co exist on the same block. Thus discovery led to the continued development of the Mobile Telephone and the biggest innovation came in 1964 when IMTS was introduced, with IMTS people didnt have to push a button to talk and made the communication process much simpler. Countries like Japan also led the way in innovation due to their diligent quality first approach. The article then goes on to talk about different analog systems and their impact on the mobile telephone in particular the IS-54 digital standard. After reading this article I thought about how far the mobile phone has come from the portable telephones that existed when I was a kid to the cell phones with multiple features that we have today. I did not know prior to reading the article that this technology had been thought of around the time of WWII. It will be interesting to see the next advances in this field.

This article was very interesting to me because I always have my phone on me or beside me at all times and I really feel like its almost attached to me because I don't go anywhere without it.  I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who feels this way either.  I also think that it is interesting that in the beginning, it took a while for cell phones to catch on but now you have elementary age kids with cell phones in their book bags, it almost seems like they go pick out a cell phone before a cool Toy Story lunch box.  I just really think its interesting how popular mobile telephones have become in this day and age.

This article was based on the development of mobile telephone; what we call cellular phones today.  As I read in the reading is that mobile phones went through a series of different develomeants and changes to get to what we have today.  It was mentioned in the reading that American led the mobile telephone movent for three reasons.  Those three reason being that the US was physically intact after the war, Bell Telephone Labs had a large group of radio engineers and scientists, and that the Motorola corporation had grown significantly during the second world war.  They started the mobile telephones as radio telephones; meaning reusing the frequency, which is said to be the main element of cellular phones today.  Vacuum tubes were used to replace transistors that were used for these mobile telephones, was to dominate the radio and telephone industry for another twenty years.  Japan was stated in thereading to have set the movement for electronics to be of good quality, because  quality control pioneer, by the name of Edwards Deming lectures about quality being first before everything else, which led to the Japanese industries being so good over the next few years.  IMTS, were introduced to improve the mobile phone syatems.  There were alot of things and developments which made the cellular use almost this dominance over the world.

Cell phones have become a major priority in today world, becasue so many people use them and can go with out them.  It haven't completely controlled the world, but it is on its way.  I personally use my phone for almost anything, becasue it led from just being a device to just make phone calls to being a deveice to service us with the internet, to watch ,ovies, or videos, to listening to music.  I use my phone to text, look up things on the internet, make phone calls, whatever.  Cell phones, to me have almost taken the place of computers, becasue each day it seems like our cellular phones are getting more and more advanced each day.  The way we look at our laptops, this how we also look at our cell phones.  In class we have talked about cell phone and its uses as apart of our daily lives.  We have also discussed how cell phones are like this virtual mobility.

It is importsnt to know the history of mobile telephones and the changes that it had to undergo to get to what we have today.  Cellular phones are jsut one of the many products we have today that demonstrates very well advanced technology.  So it is important to know where cellular phones started from and how they started that made them almost our "number one priority."

This weeks reading looks at an article by Tom Farley. The article begins by looking at the history of public mobile telephones starting with the 1940's after world war II. in the late 40's Mobile telephony received it's biggest technological advance with the advent of the transistor. THi allowed the idea of small, portable, sturdy phones to be envisioned, even i f the technology didn't really catch on for about 20 years. Japan gained a considerable edge on the global market for many types of technologies because of their stress of he importance of quality. It was this idea, perpetuated by Edwards Demming that led to Japan's booming successful technology sector.In 1958 Texas instruments produced the first Integrated circuit and The bell system introduced the Improved mobile telephone service or IMTS in 1964, allowing dirct dialing, tlaking without needing to depress a button like a walkie-talkie and reducing bandwidth, allowing for a higher number of users.

in 1969 the bell system introduced the first public cellular pone system which was actually a pay phone on a train. The article goes on to explain the introduction and the rise of analog dell service both here and in europe. The author the goes on to comment on the rise of GSM in europe and the rise of the IS-54 Digital service in the US in the early 90's. The article then shifts to look at the rise of multi-use cell phones in adding data services to phones, such as e-mail and SMS text messaging. This was soon followed by the ability to integrate a cellular phone with a Camera and to be able to send and receive pictures via e-mail right from you phone.

I found this  article to be pretty interesting and revealing. I had no idea that we had been pursuing mobile telephony for so long. I thought it was really a product of the late 70's and grew slowly until it exploded in the late 90's and then became what we are used to today. I think this article is particularly relevant in today's society give how many people use cell phones. I myself have had  a cell phone for the last 5 or 6 years and now that I am so accustomed to using my cell phone, I can't really imaging life or society without having one. It has become quite the necessity for so many people, and now with the technological advances and the addition of 3G, the possibilities of what you can do with your phone are almost limitless.

This article describes the evolution of cell phone technology and why the nationwide cell phone system in the US took so long to develop.    Primitive two-way radio phones existed before WWII but after the war research on mobile technology began to take off.  In 1946, AT&T created the first mobile radio service called MTS (Mobile Telepone Service).  Essential to the development of mobile phones were more spectrum and more channels.  In 1949, the FCC issued a few more channels to the Bell System and other RCCs (Radio Common Carriers).  But over the next 30 years, the FCC continued to impede trials for a new communication system and requests for more frequencies.  

By 1977, AT&T and Bell Labs had created a prototype cellular system. A year later, public trials of the new system were started in Chicago. Motorola started a second U.S. cellular radio-telephone system test in the Washington/Baltimore area in 1981. By 1982, the slow-moving FCC finally authorized commercial cellular service for the US. In 1993, the first commercial analog cellular service or AMPS (Advanced Mobile Phone Service) was made available in Chicago by Ameritech.

Other European countries did not experience the same delays as the United States.  For instance, in 1949, the Netherlands launched a nationwide public radio telephone system. In the 1950’s Japan began to make cellular equipment for export. Advancements in cellular technology included inventions such as the transistor, integrated circuit, and microchips.  The idea of “handoffs” where one mobile phone user could move through several cell areas during a single conversation was developed by Bell Labs in 1967. Cellular systems eventually changed from push talk (MTS) to IMTS (analog direct dialing) in the US to digital.  Nokia’s digital technology developed in the 1970s because of the open economic culture.

Despite the growing popularity, it took cellular phone service over 30 years to become commercially available in the United States.  When I read the section on quality issues among American microchip manufacturers and the move to purchase from oversees suppliers, I could not help but compare it to the problems that have plagued the American automobile industry.

This reading begins by explaining that gaming has been around much longer than people think. Games date back as far as 2500 B.C., which is really amazing when thought about. The author describes the game Senet as a early game that relates to modern day backgammon and this game was not just a old past time, it was an activity with potent symbolism and religious significance. Next, the author talks about how card games became more popular as the years went on and how they were given actual suites in the fifteenth century. Also, board games were very popular during this time because they imitated real life situations by rewarding good deeds and punishing bad ones, which was a realistic vision of the world. The reading then goes on to explain how after World War II lots of war games became very popular like Risk and Diplomacy which was a war strategy game. Also, after World War II the electronic gaming was still undeveloped and monopoly became a very popular game when it was introduced to the united states. After the game Dungeons and Dragons became popular, role playing games really began to become popular. The authors then propose the question of "Does history matter?" Their argument is that in order to understand gaming as a whole and the aesthetics & technology as well. The reading then goes on to explain how a man developed the game "tennis for two" which allowed players to watch the screen and hit a button at the right time in order to hit the ball. The 1970's was the period when video games really took off and is when the gaming industry was spawned and excelled. The authors then explain how the infamous game "Pong" was developed by Nolan Bushnell who had developed an unsuccessful arcade game previous to "Pong", but "Pong" was a huge success for Bushnell and is still a popular game today. The 1970's were such a successful time for video games, that it allowed developers to try different gaming scenarios and one that became particularly popular were adventure games. There are two more gaming genres that were introduced, which were strategy games and process-oriented games and became pretty popular during the 1970's. The 1980's came with big technological improvements and advancements for video gaming, which is directly attributed the rise in popularity of video games, which is represented by one statistic that stated that 1 in every 4 homes owned some sort of gaming console. Next, the authors address the always popular game Pac-Man which was not only popular in the United States, but also very popular in Japan. The 1980's is also where we see most of the more popular games that everyone remembers like Donkey Kong, the Gauntlet, and the Mario Brothers. Also during the 1980's, sports games became very popular and were first associated with the olympic games. The 1990's brought a lot of new technology to the video game industry. This technology was apparent in the game "Doom" when it was released. It was one of the original first person shooter games to be released and was a huge success when it was introduced because of its improved graphics. Gaming has continued to improve in all aspects of its development and continues to become more popular with the increase in technology and as the video games get closer and closer to fading the line between reality and fiction. This reading is very interesting to me personally because I have always enjoyed playing video games and I remember playing a lot of the games mentioned as a child. It is also very interesting to see the change that video games have gone through to get to what we play today on our Playstations and X-Box's.

This weeks reading by Nielsen discusses the evolution of gaming as a whole, going from Egyptian times to the most recent video games, and from enjoyment to competition. We still use games to pass time, but now do so a different way. Board games such as Monopoly bring people together, and so do video games which have been popularized with the invention of new media technologies. The first video games were large arcade games like Pac-Man, then once people started having personal computers in their homes games were developed to play on them. Next game the video game consoles like Nintendo that hooked up to televisions. Those were popularized when I was still in elementary school, and a new Nintendo game was the most wanted gift when it was birthday or Christmas time. The most fun part was that you could practice by yourself working on technique/skills, and then play against someone and beat them! Nowadays there are websites such as addictinggames.com dedicated solely to having thousands of games for users to play, and we have games to download onto phones or iPods. My little sister is 7, and we are only 13 years apart, but decade plus has made such a difference in how we spend our childhood. I played with coloring books and crayons while waiting to see the dentist, and she plays Tetris on my mom’s cellphone. Who knows what my children will do!

Nielson, Smith and Tosca’s article mainly discusses the history
of video games and the way they have influenced society today. Games, as a
general form, have played a role in many societal traditions and proved to be
important in normal life as well as as a form of decorum or ritual. Whether the
games themselves function as religious symbol or harbor some message, games
have transcended communication messages dating back to the times of the Egyptian
civilization.  As games became more
integrated in normal behaviors, interfaces were gradually introduced. Beginning
with a board (for chess or checkers) and extending to a video game controller
(for an xbox or playstation game systems) these interfaces became more and more
user-involved. Utilizing present day controller devices, a user is able to
interact directly with the gaming system to change movement, direction or the
end result within their game.

This article, which focuses on the influence of video
gaming, closely ties in with many of my friends’ normal behaviors. Mostly boys,
they usually engage in some sort of video gaming technology on a regular basis.
Whether they are playing Halo or Mario Kart my friends tend to enjoy
partipating in gaming within the video format. Using this form of gaming, they
are able to determine their own progression throughout a game infrastructure.
The interface (the controller) most often is outfitted with a headphone system,
with which the boys can communicate with each other to make strategies to win
the game. Basically, the whole video game system enables people to come
together and share information, and interact with each other as they would not
be able to normally and has changed the way In which our society communicates.
