Forgot to back-up your data? All may not be lost!

We all use electronic devices to store data in today’s world and we all know how vulnerable that data can be if a device fails. So, of course we back-up our data on a regular basis, right? Uh, yeah, of course we do? The fact is that unless we set up an automatic back-up system that takes care of itself without requiring our intervention, we often put it off or forget about it about it until it’s too late. Our intentions are good but our device has worked so well for so long that we become complacent. Our data is never as valuable as it is when we realize that we no longer have access to it!

In the past, a broken device usually meant replacement with a new one without any chance of recovering our hard-earned data. Today, however, our small electronic devices including smartphones, iPods, iPads, laptops and game systems (PS3, Xbox, WII etc.) can usually be repaired and our data recovered, often at a fraction of the cost of a new replacement. The increased use “flash memory” or solid state memory and improvements in hard drive technology have made data recovery much more reliable than it used to be.

If you’re a gamer you may have your progress from a number of your favorite games saved on the device’s internal drive along with your gamer profile. Not everyone backs up his or her games online and if your device overheats and suddenly displays flashing colored lights you can replace it, but your access to that data is gone. In today’s world you can search Xbox repair Hawaii or PS3 repair Hawaii and with the right professionals can usually have your own device back within a few days with your own data intact and a 1-year warranty on the repair that is as good as the one that comes with a new device!

You may have collected some very special music playlists or movie clips on your smartphone, iPod or iPad that you customized to suit your tastes or accumulated some precious photographs or videos that you can’t replace. Yes, of course, you should have backed these up and perhaps meant to do it for a long time, but when a device fails it doesn’t take any of this into consideration. Before, we had no choice but to live with our mistakes. Search iPhone repair Hawaii or iPod repair Hawaii or iPad repair Hawaii before you consider replacing your device with a new one. Professionals can often repair your device AND restore your data for less than your insurance deductible!

So, don’t just accept the notion that because you forgot to back up your data that it is automatically lost when your device fails. If you search cell phone/electronic repair Hawaii you will find reputable locations where you can ask questions and get help with all of your electronic needs. At some repair centers, there is no charge if they can’t fix your device! Remember, it costs you nothing to make a few calls and to get professional advice.

From Telephone to Smartphone: A long way in a short time! Part 3 – Bridging the Oceans

Cell Phone Repair Hawaii: a historical perspective from

the professionals at MobileREMEDIES®

 

Morse Code Heard Across the Sea

Early experimentation with radio signals (initially known as “wireless telegraphy”) began with Heinrich Hertz in the late 1880’s about 10 years after Bell’s telephone.  Guglielmo Marconi, while he did not invent the process, was committed to the commercialization of telegraph signals that could be sent through the air without wires using “Hertzian waves”.  By 1896, he was able to transmit a telegraphic signal over a distance of about 2 miles and by 1901, all the way across the Atlantic Ocean from Cornwall, England to St. John’s, Newfoundland using a complex antenna array. (Though some people question whether the three “dits” heard on that first attempt and interpreted as forming the letter “S” in Morse code weren’t bits of random noise from the intense background static!)  The first 2-way transmission would not take place, however, until 1906. In any case, voice transmission did not play a part in the original concept of wireless telegraphy and Marconi himself was initially uninterested.  Others, however, notably Reginald Fessenden a Canadian inventor born in Quebec, saw the potential in the early 1900’s as the telephone gained popularity, and created “radiotelephony”.  [Historically, the telegraph, telephone, radio and, to a lesser extent, television in the late 1920’s, would develop on parallel paths for the first few decades, occasionally crossing over into each other’s domains. This was almost certainly because their analog signals had different characteristics.  The “Digital Age” would change all that, transforming their unique signals into different patterns of the same 0’s and 1’s. (See: Part 5 – From Cell Phones to Smartphones: The Internet!)]

Voices Heard Around the World – But…

While long-range radio voice transmissions between the United States and Europe were sporadically exchanged as early as 1906, thefirst commercial transatlantic telephone callusing the existing wire-dependent system combined with radiotelephony was not made until January of 1926 between New York and London. Nine years later, in April of 1935, the president and vice-president of AT&T spoke to each other in two separate offices 50 feet apart in New York City, routing the call around the entire Earth over a distance of 23,000 miles, bridging the oceans with the radiotelephone! By the beginning of the Second World War, transatlantic telephone conversations were commonplace in certain circles but there were more than a few problems associated with long distance radiotelephony.

The signals had to bounce off the ionosphere in order to reach around the curvature of the Earth and were distorted by atmospheric conditions. “Magnetic storms”, now known as sunspots, could sometimes disrupt service for several days. Voices often faded in and out and the early system could only handle one call at a time and about 2,000 calls per year. Calls were allotted three minutes and cost $75 in 1927, equivalent to about $1000 or $330 per minute in today’s currency! Another obvious problem was that anyone could listen in on the conversations if they had the right equipment, a business, military, and governmental nightmare. Though system capacities and reliability improved slowly, “classic” short wave radiotelephony could only fulfill the needs of an elite few as a long-distance medium. It would continue to flourish however, for some time in aviation and ship-to-shore applications. In spite of its inherent limitations, the transoceanic radiotelephone was an important stepping-stone in inter-continental communications.

Back to Cables but With Some New Twists

These problems proved to be too serious to ignore and transatlantic radiotelephony would be largely replaced by undersea wires in the late 1950’s when the first transatlantic telephone cable (TAT-1)became functional (100 years after the first transatlantic telegraph cable!). It incorporated the newly invented vacuum tubes as signal amplifiers and underwater “relay stations” in special 8-foot cable segments placed every 37 nautical miles. TAT-1 used copper wires and was actually two cables laid about 20 miles apart with one to handle the east-west direction and the other for west-east signals. The system could handle 36 simultaneous telephone calls and the cost was approximately $3 per minute in 1956 (the equivalent of about $25 today). The system carried 588 calls on its very first day of service, about twice as many as were made in the previous week on the AT&T transatlantic radiotelephone system. Sound quality and connection reliability improved dramatically and prices came down even further as more sophisticated cables were added with larger and larger capacities. International long distance calling gradually became more accessible to the general public and call volumes increased rapidly. These cables continued to use copper wires up throughTAT-7 (1978), but the capacity had climbed from 36 to 10,500 channels.

In 1970, scientists at Dow Corning created a tiny flexible ultra-pure optical glass fiber covered with a reflective coating that could transmit light over long distances by bouncing the beam off the internal walls of the fiber without the use of electrical current.  It doesn’t sound like much, but when combined with analog/digital conversion technologies and increasingly powerful lasers and computer processors, it would become one of the most significant inventions of the 20^th Century! (See also: Part 5 – From Cell Phones to Smartphones: The Internet!) The first fiber optic transatlantic telephone cable (TAT-8) laid in 1988, could handle 40,000 simultaneous calls! [This was still primitive by today’s standards. Now that all data is transmitted digitally in the same form, cable capacities are no longer measured in channels but in “bandwidth”  or "bit rate" (number of data “bits” per second) and are no longer dedicated to a single medium. Old rivals such as telegraph,telephone, radio and television can now all ride together as data bits on the same light beams! This year’s newest fiber optic cable (Emerald Express) using the best fiber quality and laser technology available is projected to have a bandwidth of 40 Terabits/second, the equivalent of more than 700 million simultaneous phone calls with a transatlantic delay of less than 60 milliseconds!]

The oceans no longer represented a barrier to the telephone and a whisper could be heard around the world!

Part 2 - The Golden Age of Telephones – “Growing Pains” and “Too many Wires

From Telegraph to Telephone 

Fortunately, the telegraph system already possessed a complex network of wires and exchanges, allowing the telephone to rapidly find its niche. Telegraphy was well established as a formal, usually city-to-city, mode of communication that required skilled operators using Morse code to send and receive pre-composed messages. People went to the telegraph office, hand-printed their message on the appropriate form and paid a fee according to the number of words (imagine needing to have someone else send and receive our text messages for us and how that might affect our usage!). At the other end, it would be re-written, placed in an envelope and delivered, usually by bicycle, to its destination. The telephone added a new dimension and allowed spontaneous, informal and direct communication between individuals with no intermediary needed (except, of course, the switchboard operator who knew who you were calling and might “accidentally” listen–in on an interesting conversation here and there!). How much more information was carried in the voice inflections of a loved one compared with the same words on a telegram? How much better was it to get an immediate response to a question and to hear the “tone” of the answer? These differences were enough to make the idea of having a telephone in your own home a part of the American Dream!

Cell Phone Repair Hawaii: a historical perspective from the professionals at 

MobileREMEDIES®

Even though Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) is a better descriptive term for that little device we carry with us in our purse, pocket or on our belt, it just hasn’t caught-on in our daily vocabulary the way smartphone has. Many of us still call it our cell phone; even though the most primitive models do a lot more than just make phone calls! No matter what you call it, this precious little device holds a position of prominence in our daily lives that was inconceivable before the beginning of the 21^st century! How it came to be is a fascinating story, worth some reflection. The whole story however, is so vast and so complex, with so many contributors, that this little summary cannot do it justice

Voices Through the Wires? 
Alexander Graham Bell did not invent the telephone just as Henry Ford did not invent the automobile. Instead, both pioneers were instrumental in making their devices known to the public and affordable to use. When Bell patented his telephone (Greek: tele = far-off and phone = voice sound) in 1876, people had already been sending electrical signals over wires in the form of telegraph messages or telegrams for 40 years and in fact, cables already crossed the Atlantic Ocean since the late 1850’s transmitting data to and from Europe at the rate of 1 character per 2 minutes. By 1870 the transatlantic message rate reached a blazing 20 words per minute! (So, “texting” was already the norm, though the term itself didn’t come into existence until we re-invented the concept for our smartphones in the late 1990’s) Voice transmission, however, was completely unknown and in fact, sound recording of any kind would not come into public consciousness for another 2 years, when Thomas Edison (who also did not invent the device!) would patent his phonograph in 1878. Not everyone thought the telephone had a future and even Alexander Graham Bell, in some financial difficulty and in a moment of doubt, offered to sell his patent to Western Union, the telegraph giant, for $100,000 in 1876. They turned him down, reportedly declaring the device to be of no practical value!

 Early telephones suffered from some of the same limitations as the telegraph system but also benefitted from its existing technologies. First, wires had to be stretched between the desired points of communication. Then, unless you only wanted to use it as an intercom, connecting the two fixed points, you also had to have a central exchange or “switchboard” where the correct wires could be connected, routing calls to the right locations. Also, since one line could only accommodate one call at a time, the number of individual wires in the cables connecting the exchange stations (“trunk” lines) determined the number of simultaneous calls possible. It is easy to see how exponentially complex such a network would become even connecting a small number of locations!
