DISCUSSION
2.1 Understanding Mobile Phones
A mobile phone (cellphone) is an electronic telecommunications device that has same
basic capabilities as a conventional fixed line telephone, but can be carried anywhere and
does not need to be connected to a telephone network. A mobile phone/cellphone is a two-
way communication device that allows two people or more to chat without being limited by
distance.1
The first telephone was invented by Alexander Graham Bell in 1876. This tool was a
practical means of communication so it developed rapidly.2 Meanwhile the inventor of the
mobile phone was Martin Cooper, who worked at Motorola. Cooper had the idea of making a
communication device that was small and easy to carry when traveling.3
Mobile phones have many different definitions from one another. Mobile phones refer
to small instrumental devices that have specific practical purposes and functions that are
useful
apart from that, cellphones are a medium (tool) that is used as a modern
communication tool. According to Luci Tri Ediana and Anita Herawati, cellphones make
human communication activities easier, now communication activities are becoming more
advanced with the emergence of cellphones.4
