But these little connection gadgets have become ubiquitous because they are so useful many would blanch at the thought of losing their cell phone. Cell phones are useful because of the science, technology, and design that are blended to make them function. In this work, authors Michele Sequeira and Michael Westphal help people explore this now-commonplace, socially important gadget that connects them with their friends. The underlying science and technologies, and some of the history that has influenced the development of cell phones, are discussed. Emphasis is given to building science and technology concepts through simple analogies with commonplace items and ideas.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Kapolei Public Library YA -- Nonfiction 621.38456 Se Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waimea Public Library (Kauai) YA -- Nonfiction 621.38456 Se Checked In Add Copy to MyList
