  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Harry Wesley Coover Jr., 94, inventor of Super Glue. Coover was working for Tennessee Eastman, a division of Eastman Kodak, when an accident helped lead to the popular adhesive being discovered. An assistant was distressed that some prisms were ruined when they were glued together by the substance. In 1951, Coover and another researcher recognized the potential for the strong adhesive, and it was first sold in 1958. Cause not given, March 26.

  • Our last word in business is about a little product that requires concise writing. Thirty years ago this month, it hit stores across the country. Scientists at the office products conglomerate 3M had stumbled upon a new kind of adhesive, one that could stick to many surfaces and be pulled off easily and repositioned.
  • Since 1980, they have been a top-selling office supply. They're no longer just three-by-three inches and light yellow in color. The little sticky pads come in eight sizes, and dozens of shapes and colors.
  • heir contribution to human progress has been so great that Post-It note inventers Arthur Fry and Spencer Silver were inducted last month into the National Inventors Hall of Fame.
