  • Martin Cooper, who turns 82 on December 26th, is an electrical engineer – having gained his Master’s degree from the Illinois Institute of Technology in 1957.
  • Cooper’s inspiration for undertaking the project was the Star Trek television series, in which a small, hand-held ”communicator” device was used very much in the manner of a portable phone.
  • As I walked down the street while talking on the phone, sophisticated New Yorkers gaped at the sight of someone actually moving around while making a phone call. Remember that in 1973 there weren’t cordless telephones, let alone cellular phones. I made numerous calls, including one where I crossed the street while talking to a New York radio reporter – probably one of the more dangerous things I have ever done in my life.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Interestingly, the first person he called was Joel Engel, his chief rival at AT&T’s Bell Labs, to tell him he was calling on a portable phone.
  • The original phone weighed a gargantuan 30 ounces, and was referred to as the “Brick.”
  • With nearly four decades of success in the telecommunications industry, Cooper’s guiding philosophy is to look to its bright future: It’s very exciting to be a part of a movement toward making broadband available to people with the same freedom to be anywhere that they have for voice communications today. People rely heavily on the Internet for their work, entertainment, and communication, but they need to be unleashed.

  • In 2005 more than 100 million cell phones were discarded in the United States, equalling over 50,000 tons of still-usable equipment
  • Less than 1 percent of the millions of cell phones retired and discarded annually are recycled
  • Over 3 billion people globally own mobiles: if each of them returned one phone for recycling, over 240,000 tons of raw materials could be saved. The carbon emissions saved from this would be the equivalent to taking 4 million cars off the road
  • ...1 more annotation...
  • To make one phone, over 2kgs of raw materials are required, including petroleum-based plastics, liquid crystal display materials, brominated flame retardants (BFRs), and toxic heavy metals including cadmium, lead, nickel, mercury, manganese, lithium, zinc, arsenic, antimony, beryllium and copper.  If not properly recycled, toxins from these materials can seep from mobile devices into the environment when discarded in landfill, where they can accumulate in the food chain and cause damage to plants, animals and humans

  • 11:00 AM-12:00 Noon , Thirty years ago today a man stood on a New York City sidewalk and changed history. Martin Cooper, who worked for Motorola, invented the handheld cell phone. On April 3rd, 1973, he placed the first call to the competition.
  • I called my counterpart at Bell Laboratories, a guy named Dr. Joel Engell, who was running the cellular telephone program at Bell Laboratories, and I told him, `Joel, I'm calling you from a real cellular telephone, a handheld unit.' Now I thought I could hear gnashing of teeth at the other end, but Joel was polite. And then I went on to other phone calls.

  • Martin Cooper, byname Marty Cooper   (born December 26, 1928, Chicago, Illinois, U.S.), American engineer who led the team that in 1972–73 built the first mobile cell phone and made the first cell-phone call. He is widely regarded as the father of the cellular phone.
  • He joined the U.S. Navy and served during the Korean War. After the war, he joined the Teletype Corporation, and in 1954 he began working at Motorola.
  • On April 3, 1973, Cooper introduced the DynaTAC phone at a press conference in New York City. To make sure that it worked before the press conference, he placed the first public cell-phone call, to engineer Joel Engel, head of AT&T’s rival project, and gloated that he was calling from a portable cellular phone.
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • At Motorola, Cooper worked on many projects involving wireless communications, such as the first radio-controlled traffic-light system, which he patented in 1960, and the first handheld police radios, which were introduced in 1967. He later served as a vice president and director of research and development (1978–83) for the company.
  • In 1986 he and his partners sold CBSI to Cincinnati Bell for $23 million, and he and his wife, Arlene Harris, founded Dyna, LLC. Dyna served as a central organization from which they launched other companies, such as ArrayComm (1996), which developed software for wireless systems, and GreatCall (2006), which provided wireless service for the Jitterbug, a cell phone with simple features meant for the elderly.

  • For years, my colleagues and I at Motorola had a dream. And that dream was that everyone someday would be free to talk wherever they were, would be unleashed from the copper wires that tied them to the network. And then the FCC, the Federal Communications Commission, announced that they were about to make a decision.
  • We call that first phone the brick.
  • The battery life was only 20 minutes, but that was not a problem because you couldn't hold that heavy things up for more than 20 minutes.

  • American engineer Martin Cooper (born 1928) is often dubbed the father of the mobile phone. In November of 1972, he and a team of associates at the Motorola Company began working on a prototype of the Dyna-Tac phone, and five months later Cooper stood on a Manhattan street and placed the world's first call from a mobile phone. “There were a lot of naysayers over the years,” Cooper admitted in an interview with Investor's Business Daily writer Patrick Seitz. “People would say, ‘Why are we spending all of this money? Are you sure this cellular thing will turn out to be something?’ ”

  • The Dr. Martin Cooper story is truly an inspirational one, especially for all future scientist, entrepreneurs, and innovators.
  • He was born in Chicago, Illinois on December 26, 1928, and earned his Bachelors and Masters Degree in Electrical Engineering from the Illinois Institute of Technology in 1950 and 1957 respectively. Martin Cooper, prior to his employment with Motorola in 1954, served in the Navy for 4 years, working on destroyers, and on submarines. He had also worked for a short time with another telecommunications company, before his historic association with Motorola.
  • today, there are more subscribers to mobile phones, than landlines all over the world, and the number is growing. The communication breakthrough of Martin Cooper did not go unnoticed, as he was awarded the Wharton Infosys Business Award in 1995, for his technological innovations in the communications field; a truly prestigious recognition from a reputable institution.

  • Yes, I have heard of mobile phones. I have one myself. Kids in sixth-seventh grade are using cell phones these days. Well it’s not a big deal, but way back in 1970s… it was! Till then, no one knew what mobile phones were, as there weren’t any. The only way you could talk on a phone was through a landline or a car radio.

  • Cooper also has a “law” named after him.  Cooper’s Law states that our technology is advancing at such a rate that the number of different wireless communications possible in one location, at the same time will double every 30 months.  This “law” has held true since the first transmission by Guglielmo Marconi in 1895.  To illustrate, due to the method of transmitting this first signal, with a spark gap transmitter, it took up most of the radio spectrum to send this signal.  So the technology at that time more or less just allowed for one signal to be sent at any given time at a certain location.  Since then, every 30 months, the number of signals that can be transmitted at one time in one location has doubled.
  • In the United States, 86% of the time people are using the internet on their mobile device, they are simultaneously watching TV.  The average American smartphone user also spends about 2.7 hours per day socializing on their phone.
  • China: 906.8 million phones India: 851.7 million phones U.S. 302.9 million phones Russia 220.6 million phones Brazil: 217.3 million phones
