  • 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.

  • Cellophane is produced by dissolving wood pulp or other cellulose material in an alkali with carbon disulfide, neutralizing the alkaline solvent with an acid, extruding the precipitate into a sheet, impregnating it with glycerine, and then drying and cutting the sheets to the desired size.
  • Cellophane was invented about 1910 by the Swiss chemist Jacques Brandenberger (1873?–1954), who in 1912 invented the first machines for large-scale production and established a factory near Paris.

  • 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.

      This is a pretty good video, I recommend it.
  • 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.
