Marcio Sampaio - History of Mobile Phones

2021-09-13 17:49:37 UTC

The history of mobile phones covers mobile communication devices that connect wirelessly to the public switched telephone network.

A man talks on his mobile phone while standing near a conventional telephone box, which stands empty. Enabling technology for mobile phones was first developed in the 1940s but it was not until the mid 1980s that they became widely available. By 2011, it was estimated in Britain that more calls were made using mobile phones than wired devices.

While the transmission of speech by signal has a long history, the first devices that were wireless, mobile, and also capable of connecting to the standard telephone network are much more recent. The first such devices were barely portable compared to today's compact hand-held devices, and their use was clumsy.
Drastic changes have taken place in both the networking of wireless communication and the prevalence of its use, with smartphones becoming common globally and a growing proportion of Internet access now done via mobile broadband.

Heloísa Matos - Abolition of Slavery in the US.

2021-09-13 17:54:37 UTC

Passed by Congress on January 31, 1865, and ratified on December 6, 1865, the 13th amendment abolished slavery in the United States and provides that "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.".

One of the reasons why slavery in the United States was only abolished in 1865 was because of the period before the Civil War, there were more white people than black people living in the US South. The agrarian structure served as an argument to assert the need for slavery in the region, Clearly, we can also include the reasons for extreme racism and inequality in all the senses it had at that time and which unfortunately we still have, but in a smaller proportion.
