Scientific Inquiry
2 Scientific Method (How was the scientific method used by the developer(s) of the device? In other words, describe the scientific processes that led to the development of the device. Support your answer with research. 2 Clearly explains how the scientific method was used by the developer(s) of the device, supporting explanation with research)
Scientific processes that lead to the development of the cell phone are as follows.
Observation and measurements: 3 The telephone invented by Alexander Graham Bell in 1876.
Hypothesis: Could voice be transmitted via radio waves and be utilized via a mobile device?
Experiments: Reginald Fessenden …show more content…
2 Scientific Claim Identify a scientific claim made regarding your device. Does scientific evidence support the claims? For example, if the device that you selected is your cell phone, you could evaluate the claim that your cell phone can cook an egg and that therefore the amount of radiation produced by the phone is harmful to you. Use research to support your evaluation of the scientific claims made regarding your device. 2 Discusses scientific claims or uses of the technology utilized by the device.
A scientific claim made about cell phones is whether or not radiofrequency energy exposure possibly causes cancer or other negative health risks or effects. 4 Cell phones emit an electromagnetic, non-ionizing form of radiation as radiofrequency energy from their antennas. This energy can be absorbed by nearby tissue such as your ear. Electromagnetic non-ionizing radiation is low energy and low frequency. Radiofrequency ranges of 30 kilohertz to 300 gighertz are used for televisions and radio in addition to cell phones. 4 Energy absorbed by the human body from radiofrequency devices is measured as specific absorption rate, SAR, shown as watts per kilogram of body weight. To date, non-ionizing radiation has not been found to increase risk of cancer. However, heating of body tissue due to radiofrequency exposure has been found although not enough to raise body temperature or cause any significant …show more content…
This involves a great deal of potential issues such as the probability of being tracked and obtaining personal information as well as becoming more like artificial intelligence. (Fawcett, 2014) They will become lighter, more transparent, control more of our lives remotely, contain holographic displays and have more educational functions. iPhone has been working on the development of holographic functions that allow beaming several screens you can interact with simultaneously.
