Martin Cooper: “I am devastated when I see somebody crossing the street and looking at their cellphone. They are out of their minds.'
Martin Cooper, an American engineer dubbed the “Father of the cell phone”, says the neat little device we all have in our pockets has almost boundless potential and could one day even help conquer disease.“I am devastated when I see somebody crossing the street and looking at their cellphone. They are out of their minds,” the 94-year-old told AFP from his office in Del Mar, California.
The company had invested millions of dollars in the project, hoping to beat out Bell System, a behemoth that dominated US telecoms for more than a century from its inception in 1877. By the end of March, they had cracked it, unveiling the DynaTAC – Dynamic Adaptive Total Area Coverage – phone. Those first mobile phones were not cheap at around US$5,000 per handset, but they granted early adopters – who Cooper says included people trying to sell property – an edge.
“I know that sounds like an exaggeration, but I want you to know within a generation or two, we are going to conquer disease.”
