Telephone


The telephone is a telecommunications device which is used to transmit and receive sound ( most commonly speech). Most telephones operate through transmission of electric signals over a complex telephone network which allows almost any phone user to communicate with almost anyone. The telephone gave those who used it the ability to carry on a live conversation in real time over most any distance. In business and personal relationships conversation is necessary to make things happen. And for those in business and professional relationships, or those in personal relationships , the phone provides the link for instant voice communication in real time , complete with the subtle sound cues of "normal" speech (cause that's what is it ) that convey a fuller meaning than just written or texted communication . And the phones pushes the telegraph out of the picture , who knows morse code anymore ?

In the 21st century the telephone is an important asset to our daily life, we carry them all around 24 hours , but can you imagine on tomorrow's innovation that the telephone can be embedded in your skull and assigned a number , we could all end up with a wireless implant allowing us to communicate interpersonally with whomever we wanted . The future is not a complicated cellular phone that takes a PhD to figure out , instead voice telephony is something very simple where you can just think of someone you want to call and they're on the phone. It's probable that the biggest change will be something that isn't yet self-evident( as was the case with mobile phones 10 years ago)

So the question is can this idea be practical , a microchip embedded in people's skull so that contacting other people would be easier ? . To understand more about this idea please visit this website ( http://www.abc.net.au/science/lcs/mobiles.htm) Thank you .

Guess what, check this webpage out. It is not just some webpage but it is from the time webpage. There is scientist that has invented tooth telephones but still they are lacking of some major issues. However, I would say it is a major success in invention such a mini receiver. The only thing it is lacking of is that the person is unable to neither respond back nor call back from the implanted phone. They only can receive calls where no one is only for their ears to hear. (http://www.time.com/time/2002/inventions/tra_phone.html)
Here is the answer to your question. How do you think of the invention? Cool? With a little more research by the scientist, our future generation would not be carrying no more bulking mobile phone anymore. Ladies will have smaller bags or maybe no bags at all.

Microchip embedded in skull? It is sound a little bit crazy. Besides of advantages that it is make people easier communicate with other people, I am sure that have a lot of disadvantages also.

Cool, microchip embedded in human's skull. But, I don't think it is a good idea. Think about it, handphone create radiation
that brings negative ion that will harm our body. Yes, it is something cool and new to make easier communicate with each other. But there are also a lots of side effects besides the advantages that it brings.

Let’s not just make the time hard for our self; even though we don’t like to have it, it may come for us!!! may be not the microchip but one day you find your self linked to your wife’s picture in the sense of looking at any were you see her face watching at you. This disaster may be called and introduced as the new technology that helps people communicate unlimited as they are walking together!!!!

Micro chip in the skull..... possible-> yes, practical and useful? -> absolutely not.Let science and technology not let us do things which i would consider 'crazy'. I would not allow any micro-chip in my skull, or my kids skull. Think about the health hazards... It sounds like skull terrorism to me!

telephone make us communications more easy,as we know for the past
we just have have letter for communication and this type or communication
is very slow and sometime may loss the letter during the transfer time.
the telephone change our life and give us more easy communication.

Technology is really driving people crazy now, i want to leave a simple, private and enjoyable life. Sometimes with the telecommunication we have now you still cant find privacy when you want to, unless you turn it off and be scared that you may miss important calls. Having a microchip embedded in my Skull is just ridiculous and no matter what i will never do that or encourage any one to do it. wWe even dont know the hazards it can also bring on to us.
(BY THE WAY CLASSMATES I NEVER KNEW ERIC HAD A KID)

Telephone is the geart invention for the whole world. telephone is that invention which makes the people closer.But i would not prefer micro chip in human skull because it can be can be harmful to humans, the most obvious harmful effect is heating. Any way nice topic cary on bro.

The new video mobile phones are very popular, but they desperately need more memory so that people can take longer videos and store them. This technology has the potential to transform mobiles into fully functioning video cameras, in addition to a range of other applications. The technology is based on the discovery by using nanotechnology it is possible to reproduce the key functions of semiconductor electronics in microchips using only the spin of electrons, which is responsible for magnetism, rather than the more conventional charge that traditional microchips use.

Thanks for all the comment friends , but even though a lot of you think that having a microchip in a skull would be hazardous or think that the idea is ridiculous maybe it is , but I believe in the near future scientist will find a way to improves the handphone era of lifestyle ! so have faith

A microchip embedded in people's skull to make calls easier?Sounds dangerous.cell phones causes damage to our health without it being attach to the internal parts of our body.imagine what a smaller version in our head would do to the brain.

A microchip embedded in peoples scull to enhance communication???? I guess it is possible but I do not think people would go to that extend where cell phone becomes part of them, simply because, as Eason and others mentioned, it is dangerous, hazardous and insane...

Ayesha said...

A microchip embedded in my skull??NO WAY!!It's cool but it sound weird and unusual.Well,I won't be surprise if this technology will be invented!But I don't think it will be easy to be practical because everyone in this world will be operated which I don't want to!Moreover,having a microchip in our skull is like turning us into a doll or a machine!However,scientists should think the site-effects of implementing this invention into human's skull before introducing it in the market.The more updated and better invention created,the more disease or health problem the human gets!!

Well, Micro chip is skull sound good idea for communication but! Question is how many people are ready to accept it? I don’t think people would agree to have such thing in their skull. If you ask me, I m sorry to tell you but I m not ready for it.

I am agree with the comments posted by my other friends. Every technology has advantages and also disadvantages and we should keep ourselves aware from to do some craziness with the technology which can affects bad to our health and communicate with microchip towards skull is sounds not good to me.
