Not even gonna watch this. I know my texts go up to heaven where Jesus collects them like little pearls and rolls them back to earth for my friends to receive.
"...think of a loved one and send them a msg to let them know you care." *phone rings* Hey, i was just thi-... Wait, wh- Well, yes I want to fu- I didn't say that, though did I? I ju- Slow down, I wasn't try- No, I was... it was a thou- Hello...??
I completely agree with you. I wouldn't want it in my body either plus what if you accidentally think the wrong thing or get distracted and and instead of sending "hello"you say a random thought that you wouldn't want anyone else to know..the thought of that makes me very uncomfortable
it is, you know what isn't common knowledge though? that the nsa redirects these cables into rooms where they splice the cable and copy all of the information that passes through them.
Because it isn't 100% transparent Even if it was 99% transparent, (that is 1% opaque, or 1% of the light energy doesn't get through), then just...well, actually, it would scale logarithmically, but let's just say it's 1% of the starting amount of light that is blocked, so 50 layers would halve the light shining through the other end. In this case, it's about mostly-transparent materials (bubbles), grouping and reflecting light back in to your eyes. Since there's no particular wavelength preference of the material, it reflects an equal amount of all light shined at it, getting white light.
Another interesting thing about traditional text messages is how they are sent. If you're in a particularly busy place, like a festival or gathering where you don't have access to data or calls, if you have signal, you can text. When you have signal, your phone will check its connection to the tower by regularly pinging it, like a heartbeat. But there is space at the end of those pings, space that is taken up when you send a text. Think of it like a status report form, with a footnote section. Your text goes in the footnotes. And because of this, I was quite surprised because can you imagine how much profit networks made from text messaging? It costs them essentially nothing to handle text messages, and yet I've seen them, in my own experience, as high as 20p per text in the UK.
Currently we possess the technology to have data rates of Gb/s on mobile phone, the only thing that is stopping you is the long process of standardization by governments. It means all countries must sit down and agree on a single system (technical details takes ages to be agreed upon). For instance, 4G was first used commercially in 2007 in South Korea and it only became widely used in Europe 3 years ago.
I've had it explained that voice calls are converted into data on the same frequency as the texts. The texts are, in a way, placed into the spaces not occupied by voice data. Texting used to be free because of that fact. It didn't take any more energy to sent a text because of how that worked. It's kind of like a car merging into traffic by waiting for the next space between cars.
These days everything is transmitted as a stream of binary code, modulated onto carrier waves that sit within a set band of frequencies. The exact frequently depends on the country you're in, your provider and then the cell tower you're connected to. Band widths have increased with the demand for faster internet. SMS started as a way for network engineers to communicate with each other but got picked up by providers and opened to the public.
also before the 2000's most text message SMS (short messaging service) weren't even to cell phones ...they were sent to beepers or pagers .. such as when you would get the # to call them back or even the small messages you would call an operator and they would type it out to them.
When I got my first cell phone, Nokia 3210, I was the happiest man on earth! it was a big show off to go to school with cell phone back in time! we were the last generation recorded music from radio, watched movie on VHS and the social network was online chat! good old times...
Anthony A life is to short already for me to do that friend ; ) forgive me for being reminded of my childhood by the mention of dbz at the ripe old age of 25.
The other day a song came on that I love and I just had to turn it up. And that brought two questions to mind I was hoping you could answer for me. Question number one: why are there some songs we love and others we just can't stand. And question number 2: When a song we love comes on, why DO we turn it up louder? Love your channels and hope to see an answer soon! Thank you!
Are you really interesed in spying on someone's text messages and whatsapp messages and you don;t know how to?contact @elitecoding007 on Instagram for is service.He is very efficient and affordable.
Also note that your SMS messages go through 3 or 4 other companies; so a message from Cingular to Verizon might go Cingular>Syniverse>Sybase365>Verizon in just a couple of seconds.
Damn it is shortened to dammit, not "damnit." Also, stop using apostrophes to pluralize. It's already becoming accepted for truncated years, like 80's, but it's technically still supposed to go where the century was omitted ('80s). It's entirely incorrect to say "1800's." A good rule of thumb is that apostrophes NEVER pluralize, even if it's considered acceptable to do so (the S already does that).
the funny thing is no one cares and your comment will get lost in the flood of memes spam and other useless shit we call "comments",in laymen's terms,you're whole comment was pointless.
Here is my next Asap Science Video idea: what if what ever we did happened first try? how would our life differ, and how would it affect our way if living?
I'm sorry AsapScience but this is wrong. What actually happens is much simpler. An invisible unicorn eats the texts you send, teleports to the texts to the desired receiver(s) and poops that text onto their phone. This is why there's a delay.
I teach 5th grade and my whole team really wanted to use this video in the classroom because it explains how texts are sent VERY well. However, we had to scrap it because you use the word "damn it"... It's part of the new science curriculum to teach digital transmission. :( Can you make another one with out that one scene? it would REALLY be awesome.
I know that this video is supposed to give an oversimplified version of how text messaging works, but the way you tell it is not quite right. When the signal "leaves" the cell phone it is already digitally modulatad and as a consequence a digital signal. One of the most common modulations beeing the Gaussian Minimum Shift Keying, which is used in the GSM Networks. I still liked the video though. Keep up the good work.
I was sending texts by satellite in 1991. It was a Qualcomm system that allowed tracking of trucks in real time and allowed texting. 5¢ a character though.
Question: What would happen if you were to stay completely still? Obviously your limbs would fall asleep, but would you, I dunno, lose use of them if you were to prolong lack of activity? Kinda morbid, but I'm curious.
he forgot to mention "keywords " that trigger for fed watch.. and that everything on a phone is being watchd or can be traced back even if you delete n theres phone pings records you're location
The real amazing part of it isn't how the setup of towers and antennae work, its how the modulation of data is encoded INTO the wavelength and frequency of the wave, and how that translates into 1's and 0's. And how service providers have mathematically found out how to let as many people as necessary to use the towers at the same time. Seriously people, look that shit up. It's fascinating.
SMS included as a standard part of the signal. chas is a communication protocol with the phone. These data come to you constantly! you pay for the air!

0:35 "23 billion text messages being sent everyday" and none of them are sent to me.
haha samee😂😂
don't worry I sent 22.9billion of those text's
Feels bad man.
Nope... they're sent every day, not everyday.
yeah. same
yall never fail to confused the hell out of me 😂
HI RYAN!!!!!
ryan i literally love you so much please notice me
how was that confusing?
Well, this is nothing compared to vsauce though.
This was extremely simplified.
Hey scroll back up buddy you haven't finished watching it!
u right... but I'm on mobile MWAHAHAH
you got me😅😂
how did you know
I was watching an ad 😅😂
Yes sir
0:31 "More people have mobile phones than toilets". Didn't know Toilets have mobile phones :P
xD ur funny
still true though
??
Haha... It's not "more than toilets do." so grammatically, it's correct. :p
Lol
There's no way on earth im ever getting a body embedded cell phone
That would cause for excuse to be afraid of 1/19/2038 if you find out your implants aren't Y2038 compliant.
Imagine if someone hacked into it and messed with you.
You know how most old people shun technology because their old timey methods work just fine? That will be us in 50 years.

"Where do your texts go?"
To your friends
Yoo found this in Dec of 2023. Still, no phones implanted in us like on Futurama, but we did get some type of flying car.
Very well done. You forgot to mention that all of our text messages are stored by the cellular provider for 6 months to several years! :-)
theres actaully giant 1000 mile cables under the sea floor, wtf since wen y is that not common knowledge
ikr
it is, you know what isn't common knowledge though? that the nsa redirects these cables into rooms where they splice the cable and copy all of the information that passes through them.

Never thought of giant cables under sea. Is that even possible?. Thought messages sent over the sky wirelessly.
this reply is sent via giant cable under sea. It's a working structure and not a concept anymore.
+Leon Fook Wow! now i know. But how did they build those cables in deep sea floor?
Sedrick Alejandrino Not sure exactly how, but maybe if people bug asap science enough they will make an episode for that?

If bubbles are transparent, why do they turn white when grouped together?
Good question
Because it isn't 100% transparent
Even if it was 99% transparent, (that is 1% opaque, or 1% of the light energy doesn't get through), then just...well, actually, it would scale logarithmically, but let's just say it's 1% of the starting amount of light that is blocked, so 50 layers would halve the light shining through the other end.
In this case, it's about mostly-transparent materials (bubbles), grouping and reflecting light back in to your eyes. Since there's no particular wavelength preference of the material, it reflects an equal amount of all light shined at it, getting white light.
Sometimes I see bubbles grouped together but I never see them turn white. They're still transparent.
+Jacob Griffin think beer, bubble baths, etc
to oppress the black bubbles, of course
I work in the industry and also live in Toronto. It's really cool to see you guys do a video on something that I work around every day!
Having a phone built into our bodies is terrifying

You forgot the part where they go through NSA's sniffers.
NSA just pays your service providers or forces them to see what you're sending
