Back in 1998 when I first arrived in Germany, I was introduced to the cellphone age through Siemans and Nokia phones, with Nokia cornering the market share, and Deutsche Telecom had the best network in the Bavaria region. In the U.S., Motorola had the market with their gargantuan phones that could either be in the executive office, or planted in a vehicle, and were very expensive.
Now, in 2014, not only has the United States blossomed into a inter-connected country, but, now the connections between people that used to be consumed with face-to-face meetings, has now been replaced with text messages/sms transfers.
My question for this super connected world is this? What happens to communication when a cell phone connection is no longer possible due to a catastrophic fire, or other natural disaster? Will the evolution of connectivity blossom again into the satellite connection for all? When do you think we will get there?
