  • 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.

  • 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.

      Cool facts about John Harvey Kellogg!
  • Although cornflakes were not new, they had never before been presented as a breakfast food. Kellogg was the founder and first president (1923–26) of Battle Creek College, and he opened the Miami-Battle Creek Sanitarium at Miami Springs, Fla., in 1931. He also wrote many medical books. Kellogg died on Dec. 14, 1943, in Battle Creek, Mich.
  • (1852–1943). U.S. physician and health-food pioneer John H. Kellogg’s development of dry breakfast cereals was largely responsible for the creation of the flaked-cereal industry. His brother W.K. Kellogg formed what became the Kellogg Company to market the cereals.
