First of all, if you clicked on this, good job seeking knowledge. I'm sure, since all of use are, you are affected by technology. One of the most common technological invention that is constantly advancing on a daily basis is the Cellular telecommunication device. This is commonly known as the Cell phone.

I am sure you have noticed networks and companies going "4G" from the "3G" of the yester-year. You instinctively think "4G? That sounds way better then 3G!" If you though that, congratulations, you are correct. In fact, "4G" is far better then "3G", but NO NETWORK is technically 4G yet. That's right, they are lying to you.

What does 4G really mean though? It's just a standard (such as a meter or kilometer) that, instead of distance, measures how much data can be transmitted and received in a mobile device while stationary and while moving (yes, they vary greatly). That should satisfy your needs at the moment for the definition.

Why aren't any companies this so called "4G?" Well, they aren't "3G" either. Most companies are far above "3G" requirements, but far below "4G" requirements. What are these requirements? You can look to the link at the bottom for more information. In other words, 2' 9" isn't 3 feet. It's far above 2 feet, but far below 3 feet (and not in the middle, but more towards the larger portion of the two). Truth be told, even if the company WAS "4G", you more then likely wouldn't need all that speed on a cell phone anyway.

To read some more information (a little article, not a wall of text) and to understand what I mean, click the link that follows. I hope you liked this article and I hope this has made you think twice about your purchase of a cell phone or the cell phone companies themselves. It's just something they do in order to make money, in my opinion anyway. What do you think?
