There’s at least one Scott who has subscribed to my videos on YouTube (which is quickly supplanting any numbers I could ever hope to drive through iTunes)…

Now, not to waste your time, but i had a thought watching the following video and figured i would write in for whatever the reason is that my subconscious has deemed important.

One of the tech terms in question is a cell phone, and it was said that they do not use “cellular technology”.. now, i may just be misinformed, but i believe they do. cellular technology, being that the whole network is based on a complex grid of cell towers, creating “cells of service within rang of the towers.. as you move from one cell to another (dependent on the number of towers around you), your connection to the network is automatically transferred over to the next tower that controls that particular cell you are in.

I think whoever sent in that bit of a rant has analog/digital mixed up somehow with cellular/satellite networking.. even though most cell phone data is transmitted via digital encoding nowdays, its still done on radio frequency with cell towers (except of course for satellite phones.)

First, anybody’s email does not waste my time (unless you’re a spammer). Second, I believe your clarification is spot-on.

When is a Cell Phone Not a Cell Phone?
