Mobile Phone

Have you ever wondered how a device that fits into your pocket can allow you to call anyone in the world? Well, in this BrainPOP UK movie, Tim and Moby explain exactly how cellular technology works, and how mobile phones differ from the “regular” phones in your house! In this educational, animated movie, you’ll discover how an interlocking series of “cells” allows you to talk from almost anywhere, and why mobile phones, themselves, only need a small amount of power to function. You’ll also learn what mobile phones have in common with radios, and what, exactly, a duplex system is. Finally, BrainPOP’s dynamic duo will tell you all about the history of mobile phones. So stop texting your friend, set your phone to vibrate, and watch this movie!
